Gave it a wash this morning, took a pic for the Cruising Game and finally set up a photo bucket account so thought I would add a big pick here for a change.

Still haven't done anything about the trolley strips...lol. Will attack them next month when the kids are back at school.

Looking nice The ride height Isn't too bad, mine needs to be seriously addressed xD
Getting rid of both the red and trolly strips completely would look good too!
But thats just IMO.

Thanks St3alth.

Going to give option one (paint the white strips) a go in the next week or so and see how they come up. If they look rubbish then they will probably come off.

[St3alth187]

No worries, sounds like the go. If you pull them both off, clear indicators would suit it a lot better

Right now the orange ones go with the red SS stripping. But like i said just in my opinion. You have great taste so im sure what ever you decide will look the goods.

Cheers,
Jake.

So these.....



Plus these.....









Equals these.....









Pretty happy with how they turned out...certainly a big improvement on what they were.

Now that I've painted the trolley strips I want to get onto the wipers and door handles which are also showing their age.

Just replaced the "stealth" speedo light. Now I will be able to read the speedo at night as this is the only light that lights it up.

dude i dunno about the double trolley strip, it just looks funky. why didnt you just remove them both and put new s-pac ones around the side?

[St3alth187]

Looks good mate, big improvement on what they were !

That water looks absolutely gorgeous!
Great spot for photo's ! I wouldn't be able to resist a paddle .. But then I'd get sand through my car :/

Basically I cbf with the sikaflex / caramel wheel bollocks x2 (two strips on each side to come off)...and knowing me I would only burn the paint.

The double strip has always been there so I'm kinda used to it.

Having said that, if the paint doesn't last too well i'll probably rip both side strips off and re-attach the red ones where the white ones are now.

Thanks mate. Yeah, Perth beaches are the best. The water is beautiful at the moment - around 24c. I'm getting to go for a swim a few mornings a week after dropping the kids at school.

Thanks mate. I've thought about going spoilerless on and off over the years but have stayed with it. Think it will stay for a while yet.

Agree they can look good...but for some reason I reckon they look better with the full lip kit than with no lip kit and I don't have any plans for the full lip kit at the moment.
