Thought i'd give this red motorbike rim tape a go as it was cheap and i kinda like it! Will keep it on there, although it may get ripped off in the mud, lol

Also, i was on Oxford Street yesterday so i picked up a Union Jack flag from one of the tourist shops to put on the CB ariel!!!

I love my VX :D :D so excuse the picture whoring!!

Thanks Sue!! I'd LOVE to be there, and we looked into flights and everything but until work pics up for me and claire gets some Osteopathy work it's all a bit too expensive :(



Don......

Wasn't to bad to be honest, it came with a tool to put it on which was crap so i used my fingers. Its not perfect by any means but it's not noticable

HA! I did the same thing to my Mustang wheels 15 years ago, and the tape is still on them. I had some left-over 3M pinstriping tape that was intended for the side trim, and decided to give my wheels a little color. I'm really surprised that it has held up considering how many times I've washed, waxed, and polished those wheels. (That's my daughter - a recent newly-wed!)

Actually, kidding aside, I think your VX would look kinda cool with a stripe!

:bgwo::smilewink:bwgy::bgwb:I may be a hard-core Ford fanatic, but I never really liked the S&H Torino. The body was too bloated and the stripe too gaudy! Please... no stripes! (The wheels look good, though.)

I've had wheel tape on both of my bikes and, trust me, it won't come off unless you take it off. Looks good man. :yesy:

Off topic. Where might one find a rally light setup like that? Looks really clean...

THanks! The light bar is actually a JDM optional accessory, you gt them on the jap models, the only way to get one is to find someone that wants to sell one i'm afraid! It came with some 4" lights from the factory but i fitted some 6" ones

When I bought my VehiCROSS it was covered with that stuff. 'Course none of it was on the wheels! Actually the dealer removed most of it before I picked it up, but I still had to spend an afternoon peeling it bit by bit from the hood insert and the front grill. I guess the sun had baked it on pretty good.
