    ve's look so good in black but such a bitch to keep clean
    have you thought about lowering it?
    and then start on motor work?
    does it have leather? that could be on your list

    oh and LOVE the mightyboy in the background

    +1 to lowering. Currently just looks like a stock ve with a big HDT Bonnet. Lower it, maybe increase wheel size an inch or 2 then it'll look the goods mate

    Agree on the leather cloth for me too. For just a catback that seems a bit much me personally I'd keep looking around

    its pointless cuttin the guts outa the box ive experimented with my ve ute i had yeah same with my tips i think the inside ones get dirtier for some odd reason yeah thats one of the other reasons i got a clubby i love the rear ends the halo lights do it for me haha its easy enough to do it to urs all they do is put a pod thing in at the top where the standard ss lights sit so in other words its possible to fit the r8 lights to a standard ss if u can get ya hands on the top pods for the lights
