Default 450 weight reduction !

G'day guys.


Just took off the four aluminium warning badges and all the pops, reckon I've picked up 2hp. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Who was the dipstick that thought fixing them on with pops and recessing them into the plastic was a good idea.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img]

Thanks from down under, Geoff

Sorry.
Drilled out the pops while holding the rear stubs.
Then place a thin blade under one corner & peel off.

Hope that helps, Geoff.
