    A friend's got one on an 08-plate.

    It's shit.

    The exhaust downpipes had the boss for the lambda welded in after being
    chromed, then that bit was painted with silver paint. The engine bars had
    the mounting bracketry welded on _after_ chroming, and - yep - paint
    brush again.

    Yes, this is factory-fit kit...

    It's electric start, but he was strictly warned against using such new-
    fangled fripperies whilst the engine was cold - because (a) it won't
    start very well like that and (b) the starter motor might fall off.

    In it's favour, it's now got about 350 miles on it - and hasn't broken
    down. Badly. Yet.

    I wondered what *that* was when I bought mine ;-)

    Here's me thinking it was some kind of errant petrol pipe.
