• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Rear axle nut cap 3d selfmade

hi guys, lately i lost one of the rear wheel axle nut cover. so having the other still available, we redesigned it in 3d with autocad trying to replicate it as faithfully as possible. we have slightly increased the size of the inner center pin to make it not come out easily. the result is not aesthetically incredible, but I assure you that now it enters the nut and it takes the right effort to remove it. this is the first we do. to be faithful to the original, we would still have to make some small changes, but considering that we printed it with a 3d printer at almost zero cost and without waiting, we can be satisfied. What do you think about it ?

Final result:

Those are very nice! I bought my 2018 used in 2019 & it didn't have either nut cover, so I figured that's the way its suppose to be - until now! LOL....
