looks the goods !!! almost like a bought one

have you got a pic of the bar end/strut plate that shows how you finished it off ??

also for putting a pic in your thread ...
right mouse button click on the photo on the screen, on the pop up hightlight and copy the properties bit.
go to the post thread/reply screen and the little button that has IMG just above where you type click on that, a pop up comes up and then paste the photo properties that you copied from the picture into it .... ok the next bit till you get the hang of ... preview your handy work and if you get the post looking like what you want hit submit and bob's your aunty
