    Nooooiiiiiiice! That kit suits it insanely well, and love the single colour, get's boring seeing the silver on the clubby kits.

    Not over done, looks great.. Well done Got any interior pics?
    It's not stupid, it's advanced.

    cheers guys...
    they were my thoughts exactly sixappeal, my spray painter tryed real hard to get me to do it in two tone, but i thought it would look better solid...
    charg'd, i have thought about some colour coding..ill possibly get the handles sprayed white, mirrors ill leave as is for now. im also pretty curious to see what she'll pull on the dyno as well...when i get a bit more dosh ill look at gettin that done...same for the quarter mile (ill do that in winter).
    some interior and engine bay pics comin soon.....

    lucky for me the equipe didnt come with an airbag.
    i think the equipe was a "special" deal...basically an exec with $5000 (or something) worth of extras....power windows,cruise,speed alert,equipe trim and badging,16" alloys.
    thats pretty much what drew me to it when i was looking for a new car...i wanted power windows and cruise, but all the berlinas and calais etc..had much bigger price tags.

    Hmmm.It is odd because Series II Equipe's must come with an Air bag and ABS as well as the rest of the extras but 16" alloys,they only come out with 15" honeycomb's.

    i think you'll find abs and drivers airbag were an option for an extra $1500 on the equipe.
    as for the alloys i wasnt sure of the size.. 16" just came to mind when i was trying to remember (its been a while since ive had them on the car) how big they were, could very well have been 15".

    cheers man....they cost me just under $2k with rubber, from keith for wheels at underwood (i think its underwood,lol)..southside of brissy anyway.
    originally i had my heart set on 19"s...but its was almost another grand for them, so 18"s had to suffice.
