    yeah not sure about the rims i think black rims would look better...and each to their own about the seats i do like them will probs change them down the track to something abit better looking but they will do for the time being(plus i feel like a race driver when in them lol) cheers for the comment mate.

    Update on the car:

    Well vn is back got a new powersteering rack put on and had another extractor put on so no more ticking noise sounds so much better with out it and also had a wheel alignment done and she drives great now pretty happy it's back on the road.

    Now im gonna give the seats a good clean they got a few marks on them and also cut and polish the car hopefully make the shit paint alittle better and a new steering wheel and that should make me happy for a week lol then start doing stereo and everything else.
