    I hear the NMS sticker adds 5bhp no? I added two for good measure!

    As per the inserts, I did mine after Greig wrapped them, and I thought pah, I won't need to disconnect the battery a'l be fine...yeah, don't think the neighbours were too please with my horn going off for a solid 45 seconds as I wrestled the bottom cover out. Still, don't think the seagulls will be back anytime soon

    I'm surprised your ears still work! Eh? What???

    So, theoretically, my 2 NMS Badges and Sticker, combined with the Carbon Inserts are worth about 25BHP - which is more than my Forge Intercooler... I may have hit on something here - and for once it's not Kylie.

    hmm you think a 4mi trip to work is bad for granny, Euan. My daily round trip is 4mi so I'm in trouble

    You need to take it out for a long blast Joanna! Or at least a prolonged 'Brisk Pootle'... (over-excited passenger)
