    Hey guys, just a few little updates this weekend.

    Removed my roll bars and CAT Mudflaps off the back. Also gave it a nice clean and polished and waxed it. Came up a treat .

    Looking at selling my Roll Bars + Torneau Cover as a package and with the money from that buy ssl king springs .

    Putting my other rim on my spare tire this week sometime, so I can take off that terrible stocky at the front haha.

    Also, around the edge of my tray where the torneau cover is, its taken away some of my paint. Looks a bit dodgy, looking at putting touch up paint along that soon, hoping that'll fix it?

    Share some thoughts if you like .

    Cheers,
    Adam.

    car looks nice man, i like the front with the ss front lip..will look even better when you lower the ute abit..

    with the paint gettin worn away from the ute cover, if its really bad, you can take them off and take them down to a panel beaters and get them 2 paint them up, if its just little bits, you can get pressure packed cans of touch up paint..

    Cheers mate

    Ye can't wait til its lowered. Looking to lower is 50 - 60mm. Wouldn't mind slamming it, but don't want to get even more attention from the boys in blue, get enough being a P-Plater lol.

    I'll try doing touch up paint first, and if that doesn't work out too well, I'll send it off to panel beater and see what they can do

    Haha yeah cheers Personally I had no use for the roll bars, and with the look I eventually want I don't think it'd fit it.

    I have got the Roll Bars + Tonneau cover up for sale in the parts section if you wanna take a look .

    Great price you got it for. Personally i reckon the roll bars are sweet on em. And good job removing the side strips looks nice.
