ohhh!

Well ok, but the black primer crap the ren panels comes with tends to let rust set in if they are not stored properly.

Wouldnt get that from me!

We throw most of the p1 bonnets out these days as theyre nearly all rusty round the vent. And the p2s go on the front lip.....

I will ofcourse bear you in mind Bev should we get a good one. (phase 1 or 2 u after?)
