love the red colour don't see them very often

[dbarnes]

**** man she was a pig when u first bought it haha. looking good now though and i like the rims looks good on the red

[FA-77-VY]

looks good on the rims dude

[Jamie-b]

Haha thanks, Im really happy with the rims, it took 9 months of searching to find ones i liked, that would fit. I have some before and after pics of when i cut and polished it, cant relly tell in the pics but the paint was almost white on the hood and roof.

Ive thought about getting some of them mate, The though of cuting up my bumper is a bit daunting though... I want to try to curve my spending on it, trying to save up for a n/a mkiv supra.

[WogBoyz]

hey man

im pretty sure we got the same or very similar rims lol looks sweet

[mitchvsute]

yeahh i had a go on another bumper it wasnt that bad/ just really the holes for the clips and the foglights. it wasnt one big hole. and i made sure it was positioned right. my springs fall out when i lift the rear up to.

[Jamie-b]

Im after a set of extractors and lowered shocks for it now. (Cant post in wtb section yet)

[Jonnii]

Youve cleaned her up good mate. i quite like the red. I just got myself a new ute ill start a thread on it soon.

[fuzzy2308]

[<RaBBiT>]

[Robbo VS3]

Hey Jamie-b, did you just paint the dash yourself with spray cans? What colour is that? Looks pretty good i reckon.

Yer mate, i just painted it with bumper touch up paint in pressure packs,
(i used touch up paint instead in plastic paint because it lasts longer and dosent flake as easy)
Its just silver, If you want i can get the actual name an/or colour code for it?

[Robbo VS3]

That would be great mate.

[VRStato64]

nice, i like the custom done so far the colour combos really sit well

[Jamie-b]

The Red paint is peeling off the interior door handles (They where already painted when i bought the car)
Should i do them red again, or silver to suit the rest of the interior?

[Robbo VS3]

How did u make the speedo white mate?

[Jamie-b]

How did u make the speedo white mate?

My Air Con Pannel is white too.
I just bought the white backings off ebay, they replace the standard ones.
I Think The Speedo was $75 and the air con was $10, or you could get Speedo Air Con And Auto Gear selectors for like $95, you can get custom ones too from the same bloke.. probly a little more though

[vsutespack]

Very nice mate alot like mine the red and black looks great

[Kirbs]

Thats looking good man. Good job getting her looking fresh

[Jamie-b]

Thanks for all the comments,
Something i done that alot of people probably haven't noticed is i fiberglass'd one of those flip out drink holders underneath the Cd player (Photo is from when i had a dodgy cd player install) after A LOT of sanding and painting i was happy with how it looked, installed it only to find when i put a can in it, it pushed on my stereo buttons and turns it off

So now im going to get another standard one and fill over the gaps and paint it again, but does anybody know anything useful i could install into that gap?

UHF radio for cruses, leave the holder and use it as an apple holder. id either go double din or UHF

[You_Jealous]

Yeah go double din. Thats what I was thinking on doing on my ute aswell
