it was from halfords
only thin stuff...very pliable- its called daves meshing or summat liek that was only about a quid 50 for about an A4 size...2 sheets doen the lot- oh and the glue gun but i had that already for my card making(shhh hobby craft boy!) glue guns are only a tenner anyway ..

NB- at this juncture- carpet man has not been yet !!!

Wow.. I wish my bike was that clean and shinny... mine just looks like its had a bucket of oil thrown over it..

Yep very nice. Dont think it cud cause any hazard as long as you keep the loose bits as short as possible.
But I suppose you have to make sure it stays free of muc and insects else it may block teh flow of ait to the engine?

Quiff Wichard · 11-05-05, 01:43 PM

aha will do-
I always clean it after every rideout..

it is only used for pleasure - not commuting- hence it is clean

plus I had a big OFF and had all new panels 8 mnths ago so it looks like new..I am however obsessive about it being clean-- shame I have no gargae though- its a pain covering it up..

gonna put it bak 2 gether now and take some pics- weather here is ace...

been cutting my hedge - 30ft -- knackered (long not high !!)

oh carpet man now coming tommorrow-!! great eh !! day off espesh and now I gotta leave key with the neighbour for tomoz !!

oh done the front in vents too so it shud look good..

Quiff Wichard · 11-05-05, 01:49 PM

oh guys n gals- but for now--- I am gonna get a cold beer and the paper and half an hour here at the end of my garden ...

TRUE BLISS !!!

scuse the tarp- thats wot i using to catch the hedge cuttings..

If opnly someone can tell me how to paint them without all the paint scratching off

Guess I'll have to go for the stock silver colour.

sounds like you haven't primed them correctly.
