    yeah i wasnt sure whether to do the bits on the side or not. SO i left it

    PURCHASED SOME VENETIANS !
    The previous owner cut the bottom two to make room for his breaklight, so will attempt a DIY to fix that. While im doing that i will spray them white ( they are currently cream ), also considering spraying the verticle supports red. Thoughts??

    Also picked up a new head unit, the Alpine CDE 103, ( attached photo )





    You either love or hate venetians, getting a lot of mixed reviews, But i love them

    nice fix there, what did you use, the venetians arent really my thing, but on some angles they look good, like in photo number 2, but its what you like in the end isnt it, its your car after all. how is it in the rear view mirror? difficult to see out of? i wouldnt paint them red, just paint them white, i think the red might look a bit tacky. nice headdeck as well. did you upgrade from the standard deck?

    Thanks mate, i just used sticky tape haha, as a temp fix. Trying to sus out how to fix them permanately at the moment. Ive beeen getting a lot of bad reviews, but each to their own i guess. I like them.
    The view is terrible ! My rear tint was hard to see out before hand, and now the reflection from the venetians make it almost impossible. yeah i might just stick to white, and maybe grey for the verticles, just to break it up. Just playing around with ideas.

    Nah, i previously has a JVC head unit, which is now for sale. But this new one is a lot better, very happy with it

    sticky tape, love it. lol. maybe take a visit to the wreckers, see if you can find a crappy small set of venetians that are broekn and just cut and paste so to say, just plastic weld them. if that makes any sense. maybe when you repaint them if you didnt make them glossy, maybe a matte white or something so the glare isnt as bad might help solve the problem. the grey shouldnt look to bad, just the red would of stuck out like bogs balls lol.
    i can see the HU has a few new features, like USB AUX, to bad it isnt at the back, but a nice HU nontheless, can it read any sort of audio file?

    I see this car everywhere haha..wish I could have mine that low. A nice set of wheels will really set it off
    The venetians aren't my thing but if you like them that's all that matters.
    I also have the same head unit as you, I love it too. Were the photos with the other 2 cars (the other VX and the VY) taken at the Frankston beach carpark?

    Ive got a new solution to my venetians problem, Im asking around now to see if i can get them fixed properly. Yeah im thinking a matte white would solve that problem.. hopefully ! The ipod cable, does come from the back, and goes through the glove box soo much more convenient, my other head unit had cables everywhere. This one is alot tidier.

    LthlThrt: Yeah, i have a solution to fix my venetians, just asking around to find someone who has the right tools and may be able to help
    The head unit is a lot better! My old head uni had cables going everywhere, so this one is a lot neater. The USB cord goes from the back and out my glove box. Loving it !

    Siggz: Cheers mate Good to hear some good feedback on the venetians. I was considering spraying my stockies white.. Mix it up a little, but ive noticed some other cars with it.. So not as keen anymore. Was after a unique look.

    esassin: Yeah? I do drive around... a lot !! haha Where you from?
    Im actually looking at highering it. Its way to low !! yeah those photos were taken at the frankston Beach, Good spot !

    sweet, that is good when they can go through the glovebox, that is where mine goes through, USB for the headunits is in my opinion the best idea they had for the headunits. so easy to put new songs on and off, dont think i could go back to not having one. hope it goes well with the venetians
