Sorted alright, looks amazing! Loving the classy engine bay, but I have to say that I hate you right now because I have to add the sportsters to the list of things to get/add.

They are Mikalor W3 Stainless clips in black. But they don't quite make them big enough, so I had to double up "for the cause". Obvs the join is hidden

They’re my standard clip for everything now
