I always fancied myself as a bit of a Zippy more than Bungle, oh well! Here's another pic of the bus with some new wheeltrims:

You could of had Ford wheel trims on there. Keep it proper. I have 3 14" ones I planned to fit on mine.
That said, they do look good. I don't think Alloy wheels would look good on that.

Do you a good price on the ford ones :P all 3 of them :P

try using cable ties to secure them. just need one normally but if they had a tendency to fall off then use two, one each side.

Yeah, we've had a good reaction to it so far. Most kids love it and give us a wave and a peace sign 8) My old Pug had air horns on the roof and we used to give them a blast to anyone who waved at us. They are going on the bus very soon :lol: :lol: :lol:

Ooooh you were so close to claiming the first FTF sighting. I usually take one of my kids youth club on Wed evenings along A414, but would have used London Road because they're digging up the main road at the moment. Unfortunately for you (and my girl) she was sick last Wed. :cry:

Close, but not quite :lol: :lol:
