I've not been around - and now she's gone :(

Well I've been on the forums for a while (in the most part due to me forgetting my password and never having the sense to change it) but alas now I have no polo :( I sold it two weeks ago for a little under what I wanted for it but never the less, it's gone to its new home.

If you paint them red I will hunt you down and murder you, just a kind thought :)

Hammerite them black if they are rusty or don't bother

40mm isn't slammed, and they will be ok, for a while.

They will start to leak eventually though. You can get kits (inc shocks) really cheap from PhillJ so you might as well do it properly ;)
