    on the topic of clear side indicators, how much would i be looking to pay for them? (ebay ofcourse) and how hard are the existing ones to get off...

    oh, MavVP, try 10mm plastic sleeves for ure lights. $2.50 got me a green interior light, green parkers, green boot light and a green glovebox light... needa get a new pack for my numberplate lights now

    tint the windows dark dump it on its arse ( cutting the springs cost u nothing but it does have its dangers ) and paint up your stockies to make it have the sporty but cost-effective look
    We got rep back, yaaay!

    A good cut and polish will do wonders if the paint isn't too far gone. A nice set of wheels - 16 or 17". Tint the windows and lower it just a touch will give the car a understated classy look that will set you apart from the rest.

    yeah, i got mine from autopro and repco (autopro didnt have green at the time ) they do look good, but ill eventually order actual green parkers because these are a bit dull. my mate has blue lights in his AU ute and it looks wicked and thats on a FORD!
