    Default New Spyder RT owner in the UK

    Hi, my name is Rob and Ive just bought a 2014 RT limited. The previous owner had only covered 265 miles in his ownership which Ive just about matched in the first week. Loving it so far and just found this forum so looking forward to start doing a bit of maintenance and mods to it. First on the list is a drivers seat back then adding bluetooth.

    Time for a colour change. Just had all the panels back from the paint shop and I'm rather chuffed with the result.

    The only thing I would like to do is get rid of the chrome panel the foot boards are bolted to. I recon it would look better if it was black.

    I believe they just bolt on thou it looks like a lot of work to get off. You could replace them for $226 USD a piece. Or maybe hydro dipped but you still have to take them off.

    I like what you did with the wheels and brake calipers. Very sharp.
