sounds good mate cant wait for pics.

as for rims depends on what u like
chrome / dish look / genuine holden/hsv wheels

IMO sigs on statesmans look fkn nuts some ppl might think there over done but still look a great . u could try the holden 20" Super Sports or VE SS V 19" wheels personal choice in the end but =)

yeh i was thinking sigs but then i think it would look identical to jec's car lol also thought about the ssv's aswell not sure if the supersports would look that good with the skinnier spokes, not after chrome or dish either really, yeh it was the one on ebay mate he lived about 2 mins from my house seen the car driving around with the for sale sign on it gave him a call n he wanted ten and a half but i got him down to eight seven.

sorry fellas no pics taken today, and im going away for work for about 6 days so i dare say il have the bags in by the time the pics get taken as they should be here on friday so they'l be here ready to install when i get back :)
