  6. anyone interested in buying a satin silver valver lol
  7. its not that i don't like silver ones..had lots planned smoked lights etc. but parking next to bb everyday and remembering it just feels like im in the wrong one.. i have deliverys around London...maybe interested if i can't repair
  8. can't wait to be back in it.. i do feel guilty of not liking the silver one though
  9. hi all thought id share my decision to put my valver back on the road. someone ran into the back of it last year and i took it off the road. by luck i came into possession of a satin silver valver and got it a mot. since driving it..it doesn't do it for me. i kept the bb and used it to get silver one going but when i see it i want it...silver is just not my colour. so today i pulled the dent out and all it needs now is the rear badge filled n smoothed and a bumper....well for the back. also needs a metering head.....injector clips....various pipes...a clutch ...tyres and the minor mould removed from inside. interior also needs refitting in places.. but i started and can't wait to get on with more... just gotta decide what to do with silver one....sell....swap.....parts that's what i did in last two hours
