Get rid of the towbar (maybe put one of those removable ones on)
Window tint.
Black floor carpet.
Hopefully a respray in Maroon with a little bit of red pearl through it.

hey mate it looks good.
what brand springs you thinking of putting in?

[VRSS]

thanks , probably king springs, still cant decide between lows or super lows though

[90VN55]

take the towbar off or atleast the ball cause the cops will fine you for obstructing the numberplate

[MT269U]

hey mate, sweet ride, especially for a first car! well done

[VRSS]

thanks MT269U
the towbar has been on the car since new and the old owner never had dramas with cops, but because i'll be on my p's soon they will want to find something to hassle me about haha

[90VN55]

yep the first thing i did was take the tow bar off (but mine is a removable 1) and just chucked it in the boot.
it just makes it look a bit better!!
and then you wont get sore legs

[MT269U]

hahaha, yer i have bruises all over my shins lol

[VRSS]

yeah mine goes under the car and is bolted to everything haha

[90VN55]

i just relised you have the same H/U as me

[VRSS]

How low do you think i should go?
I want the rear guard to sit just on the top of the rim, so it covers the top of my rear tyre. And i want my front guard to sit around a cm above my front tyre so i still have turning clearance.

nice car, its in great condition for its age, however in my opinion i dont think the rims really suit the car, my opinion might change after lowering it and such,

but a bloody great condition of the interior!!

good luck with it

[90VN55]

i have superlows in my wagon!!
it sits about how you want yours to sit

thanks the interior is immaculate. the paint is faded a little under my right hand side windows, the right rear quarter panel paint has some pretty bad sun damage, crows feet etc. thats why i havn't taken the pinstripes off of it yet, they're like baked into that panel

[VL Soldier]

Good stuff. Just dump it on its ass, whack in one of those letterbox grilles and get rid of the pinstriping and you'll be halfway there... Like the rims.
