beastie has been tamed a bit with the addition of a new set of boots from a 20 mile 15 plate defender
i think it looks a bit more grownup

Looks 100x better with normal wheels/tyres and legal plates

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Dare I say I preferred the black wheels?  |

I like them both, the black steels make it look more 'Tonka' but the boosts look more sophisticated.
Lovely colour 90. |

it certainly is a more grownup look i think
 now explaining to people its 30 years old is even harder now  it actually drives more like a car now with the boosts on
a beach shot in the other wheels (and yes i got pulled for the plates )

I must admit I will miss Beastie's modulars
 Was one of those that I used to revisit to look at, such as gmack's and hairysteve's now. I can't explain it, but I find myself strangely attracted to modulars 
She does look great with new Boosts on, no mistake mate, much more sophisticated and I can imagine road handling is certainly improved Indeed looks like a brand new truck. |

Drop it back to normal and paint the boost black and that would look seriously good
