Hey guys,

I dont really wanna go spending money but will spend up to around $50.

Get some mad colored wiper blades the same color of ya car (cept if its white, i got em, can hardly keep my eyes on the road when they're going :P) get some leds for ya footwells and spend some time and hook em up to your interior light (don't jus hardwire em to the ignition like some lads do), do not cut out your rear resonator :P will just sound hollow and shit, check out ebay or the traiding post, try and find a good second hand catback if your not interrested in speding too much, remove your mudguards, buy some good wax, get some touch up paint and fix all the chips (if there is any), get led parkers and numberplate lights from china off ebay :P if you have a bumper strip on the side pull that off (ask me how if ya want) and get some chrome strip off ebay for it and get an air freshener. nothing better then hopping in a nice smelling car

[braddz93]

barra218- Mate your the kind of person im lookin for not a smart arse lol. I have always wanted to put leds in the foot well, i have put 2 in the boot so when you open it the come on. I am actually looking for and exhaust at the monent, so if you know anyone gettin rid of one let me know? Ive just finished doing touch-up jobs with the paint, how do i do the led parkers if you know? and with the bumper strip do you mean the fugly chrome thing? :P and how do you pull it off? and my car smells like dash cleanrer haha not to bad of a smell :P

Haha, i jus sold my old catback for cheap :P Well if its fugly then i guess its what im talking about :P its a long and annoying job but defiantly worth it in the end. and the parkers and number plate lights are easy. just pull out the headlights (or if your fiddly you can leave them in) and replace the wedge bulbs and same with the number plate lights. just have a fiddle around and you will work it out. oh and another one is give your carpet, mats and seats a good good clean :P

[braddz93]

haha how much did you sell it for? And with the parkers i will have a fiddle around for sure haha somethin to keep me amussed :P
oh yeah my seats are nice and clean but the bottom of the back seat is stained and the carpet is really warn out haha
so do you know where i can get moulded carpets from?

[barra218]

And the carpet yes,, yes you would :P i wouldn't worry about it. just go to holden and get some nice hsv mats. or if ya don't wana spend that much, i good set from supercheap or something

[jay_wr8]

you could pull your dash out and clean it, that'll keep you busy for a day or 2,
also clay bar your car and give it a good polish and then wax, took me 8hrs to clay bar then polish my car

[braddz93]

Yeah sorry mate,
i just wanted to no how i would relocate the battery to the boot and then how do i hook my heqadunit up straight to battery and what does this do?
thanks

[braddz93]

Oh yeah what is clay bar? where do you get it from?
and how do you use it :P haha

[jay_wr8]

clay bar will get rid of all the contaminates on the paint like sap and all that stuff that sticks,
you can get it from autobarn or supercheap, repco
it'll come with quick detailer, just spray that on and go over your car with the clay bar, instructions are on the box
theres probably a how to on relocating the battery, do a search you'll find all the info you need

[braddz93]

Yeah true. how much are a full set of HSv mats you rekon?

[jay_wr8]

do a search bud, jump on ebay
