hey dude,

iv got a system that might be going in a weeks time, when i get back from holidays,but i will consider, do you live in vic region? thank you

[1VSlover]

wouldnt mind hearing peoples thoughts
leather interior or gas...

leather $1600

gas... lpg :P $800

pros and cons

[GothicKidd]

Gas is for BBQ's. yeah so original hahaha!
Alot of people worry about leather interior and cover it up with seat covers to keep in good condition. but if I had leather i'd let it shine.. but yeah first thing my parents did with there car was put seat covers over the leather seats.. Made the car look crap IMO.. I didnt want them to haha.

Only you can really decide what you want to do with your car. but if it was me I'd get leather interior. :P

[Jonah 101]

Nice car mate

[Trayner]

really depends what you need more , do you do say 500k's a week and reallly need the BBQ system in the car ? or do you only drive it 50k's a week and just a tight ass on petrol .

id only ever get gas if i was doing 100's of k's a week othewise theres no need to run it

[VRCALAISS]

leather covered devondish seats.

[Linzi]

looks beautiful mate. i say leather yes, gas no. makes cars run like shit after a while, and takes up boot space. do you know how with the instrument cluster you got it blue, but the red bits still light up red?
