    Well, I've never thought they were ugly. Brutal and purposeful is a better description.

    That looks very nice Skel*
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    Yeah maybe I mean 'dated'. Looking straight on I reckon you can see 916 influences in the headlight area. Very wide and flat 'chin'. Hard to explain without a pic.

    Ordered some stickers off eBay, will keep to a minimum I think.

    Got stickers today. Waving flag ones and a couple of 4" Aprilia ones (and smaller).

    Whats the dealio with putting them on? Clean panel with some IPA and leave for a long while? Might put some smaller ones on the satin black panels for a test as to how well they 'bond' I guess.

    Have a go with the spray cans. If it looks like shit then what have you lost? you may as well have a crack at it first.

    Have another question!!!

    I've repainted a couple of panels Gloss Black and while they are a bit more glossy than the satin, its not by much.... however I'm sure that I can polish/buff it up heaps... do I use a cutting compound to do that? ...or maybe a coat of clear would make it shinier?
