    Cheers bud. I was unsure that it would look as good as it does on the 850R.
    Really pleased with it tho.

    Looks nice, but how does it get on with stone chips? I sprayed the grill on my BMW a few years ok but had to keep touching it up due to the chips.
    Would like to do the same to my V50.

    Holy thread revival Batman!I have one stone chip which is quite annoying, I've toyed with the idea of c/f wrapping, but it will be a right ball ache

    Great guide Martin. Done this myself today. Here are the results
    needs redoing as the paint was crap but it looks good and freshens the front up.

    You could say lol, was planning to do abs ECU too but the one I've got doesn't match. It doesn't even have same mounting, whoops. Ahwell will bang it up on eBay or here and try and swap it for right one.
