Same here. She is the best I've ever had but she's really out of my league.

 

I'm going for a plain jane next. It'll break my heart at first but I could do without her getting unwanted attention, having to buy the finest drinks, shoes and clothes and having to take care of her every ache, pain and sniffle at expensive doctors.

 

Besides, she ain't getting any younger either.;)

If it was the Supe at SSI then it is mine.:). You are luckier than me as I havnt been able to get up to see the work started (work is super busy at this time of year).

 

As you said it has the Brembo 6 piston monoblock calipers which are awesome.

 

The only downside of putting together a nice big list of parts is it takes ages to fit them all! Its like Christmas come a week early.

Yep Golfpro it is.Good luck with the work;its going to be a cracker(mine is the black Soop in there).I should be so lucky,lucky ,lucky,lucky.If Kylie says there is luck;it must be so.

 

Thanks.

 

I saw your motor when I was dropping mine in. Whifbitz front bumper? I am putting the same on on mine. I think it is the most subtle (similar in style to the original but deeper though not over the top like some others).

 

Hope yours gets back on the road soon. Bad hybrids I hear!:(

The guys seem to know their stuff so hopefully the help they give you will be better than the other cowboys.
