I've thought about it but tbh i like the cage in chrome shows it off abit... I know it's only a show cage and they have haters, but it's become part of the car for me so it's staying.
As another small update, i've just fitted a smaller aerial, an oem looking aerial though. Nothing chavvy but looks really good. I'll get picture's when i can be arsed lol.

Nah dude. I don't want bungs in my roof  The only way i'd get rid of the aerial is by having the roof smoothed. A random grommit isn't really my thang lol

Bit of a lousy update due to lack of pics but then not too easy to show you the quickshift fitted. It's on though

I'm liking the Blue and gloss black combo - very nice motor you have there Chip
I used to have one of them quickshifts in my old 106 - made a good difference for not a lot of money and pretty easy to install aslong as the joints arn't siezed on the linkages 
Hope to see this at one of the meets

Oi, less fellow Maritius brother haha. I would have gone for a b&m but i didnt have the money and also this way i don't have to remove the plastics... Which is what i wanted really incase i one day decide to have leather or similar.

Guys I had this quickshift on my 106 and there is a definate difference but you've gotta be more careful with it when chaging gears because the throw is atleast 40 - 50% less than before

I'd agree with that tbf. Only driven it once so far but it seems good but is going to take a little getting used to.
Azza, i live round the corner from the Ling Forest pub!
