Still... gives you a bit of confidence.... :D

Great stuff, cheers for posting! The bib spoiler comes off the front bumper by the way

Love P38's, they're very capable even on the standard road biased tyres. Havent had the chance to do much off-roading in mine yet but i tried a few toughish trails on holiday a few weeks back. Its almost surreal the way it just effortlessly cruises over anything in its path

It's a shame I'm not going to off-road it in a way but it cost me too much for that.
