cheers guys...they've still got some small dents in but i dont think they are worth the messing...i think im gonna paint them black...aint anywhere near good enough for rechroming...im thinking of filling the remaining dents,any comments? body filler or chemical metal?...i've welded the flanges on...gonna see how long it is before they crack... ...might paint the end cans silver...gotta love them small-can allspeeds ;D...look great but dont make your ears bleed like them pesky early microns.. ;D why dont you throw yours away baggy... ...i'll take em down the tip for you mate... ;D ;D ;D

You cheeky bleeder ! , everyone and his dog knows that Micron Codnors are the mutts nuts , and Yes they are very loud..........scares the crap out of mincing bloody pedestrians...........if they can hear you coming.......they get the f**k outta the way ;D By the way don't use body filler coz it will cook and drop out , chemical metal would be your best bet..................shouldnt be tellin you this really , seein as you slagged my bitchin pipes off !!! On second thoughts......dont use chemical metal......use porridge , or Blu-tac , I hear thats good ;D ;D ;D ;D i like em really mate...i can only just hear them from here... ;D rev up n have a 'codnor moment'...go with ya smoking jacket... ;D
