What is the yellow ring thing for on the lashing point?

Hello Sir.

It has no practical use whatsoever. The ring is what is called a "Tsurikawas" used by "Bosozoku" gang in Japan. They are the grab handles in subway trains that Bosozoku gangs in the 80's used steal to show rebellion and disrespect to authority and hang them on the outside of their cars. Usually as the 'finger' towards the police. Some of them were worn on the rear bumpers of their lowered cars and dragged on the ground until the ring wore away just leaving the strap. This showed they didn't just modify their cars for looks, They drove them everywhere. As a fan of the Japanese car culture, I have one on my car.

Orrrr you could call it a teething ring or a toilet chain which my friends affectionately call it. Bunch of philistines!!!!

Good man!

Nice flaps :blush: Similar to mine, I thought they were too glossy at first, but have got used to that and like them now. I still have to do the fronts though.

Mud Flaps

Looking good your mudflaps Souley, Better than the Suzuki ones in my opinion. Only difference I think with mine is the extend out a little bit further. I've done it like that so when I get some chunky tyres in the future the wont be sticking out wider than the flaps.

Cheers, I have no plans on changing the tyre yet, so these cover quite well. I would have preferred them a little longer to be honest, but wanted the inside to go up to the bumper/arch joint.
