Title: Latest project (MK11 purchases)
Post by: pickle on September 01, 2011, 06:52 PM: the frame has just been cleaned over and it's how it came out of the factory! it had no forks which was a shame but still one of my holy grails! well Jai also had a knackered old pair of LGs so they got sent off to the one and only SBD to work his magic. Then i had a word with Del and he matched the colour of the streetbeat decals and did me some custom LG decals.
Well the postie came this morning with a box containing my lovely mint LGs and i couldn't wait to fit the decals and take some pictures!

How the LGs were when i got them

How they came back to me!
