Sorted it now, progrip ordered from P&B. Before and after
photos will follow.

Got to agree that has just bought Pimp club to a new
level!! I am with Jimbo however the new Abarth Punto is
not for me!

new company car scheme is out soon, Apparently (i won't
believe it until i see the order form) choices on the
list
at present are A4 S-Line, 320 D M-sport, Merc C-Class
(unsure of spec) Question is which one looks better at
he
front end of the 5oh?? Second question is will i be
aloud

I will post the before and after 5oh picks tonight (they are on my works laptop)  
On the agenda however is:
*Bespoke carbon boom
*Carbon kite pole
*The fairly standard (now perhaps not pimp) re-rope in some retro colours (melange colours are now so last year)
* Bespoke carbon bits where i ever i deem it unnecessary (anyone know where to get one of those carbon tacktick covers).

Not pimp but coming:
New mast
ODL04 rags
professional revamp/tart up.

Has anyone pimped a 5oh before??

Now where did i put that credit card?

For pure retro confusion you want to go with a single rope colour...

And definitely get one of those carbon 'big yellow watch' mounts.

Next is to tidy this little lot up.  Any ideas on what rope to use?  I am thinking of going back to excel racing in 90's florecent colours.  Oh almost forgot going to order the carbon boom next week:

Alex,
Thanks for reminding me about the ad.  I did the pro-grip before the nationals early sept.  My Crew/Brother had a problem a work and thought he needed his share back.  I am glad to say its all sorted now and the boat is NOT for sale.  Pimping is firmly back on track i am very pleased to say!!!!
