    I got an nrma inspection on the car today, turns out it was a good buy, the only thing they found was that my number plate lights need new globes oh and like alot of VS's the passanger airbag cover is lifting but the nrma fellow told us a cheap way of fixing it. Just keeping you guys updated. I will probably be getting it on saturday and if its not to dark i will put sum pictures up.

    i agree man it needs lowering, i should be getting 16" AusCar rims off my bro's car soon they are sitting on falken tyres. I no they arnt huge rims but i cant afford any atm and my bro is being very generous. Once i get the rims i might save up a bit and lower her. i will see if i can track down a pic of the rims to show you guys.
    EDIT: Ok here we go these are the rims, i cut them of a picture of my brothers VT and my car is the same colour so it will look pretty much the same as this. http://img91.imageshack.us/img91/841...2beminefl5.jpg

    Thanks i like the car and im with you fuel i love the colour i was originally on the look out for a white one and then i saw this one and said i want it. The paint is awsome on this car it has like one 2cm scratch that can be touched up besides that it is perfect. And i will keep you guys posted on the mods feel free to post any more comments though.

    yeah IRS = Independant Rear Suspension, good for ride quality, not as good for handling.

    That pics much nicer man. Dumped with some 18's it'd look awesome

    Hey, de-badge it except the lion (look in forums if you're unsure how to do it) and put chrome pin-stripping round the side door moulds are where the grey part is. It'll look hot as! I'll give u a link to my ride as i have done the same thing.
