Looks like an awesome starting point mate, I love that colour.

I would change out those rear lights asap tho, make the rear end look so tacky!

Yeah the colour was one of the reasons why i bought it, and there's no problem with the paintwork anywhere, not even a tiny scratch
But yeah, first on my to-do list is exhaust and new taillights, not sure which first.
Cheers for the opinion

nice car mate needs an ss kit and to get some better tail lights

[Seanyy]

Thanks Jonesy, im getting the stock ones and tinting them a few shades darker around the important parts, ive only seen it on one car and it looks wicked.
Or just keep them stock, not sure yet. But im f*#king the Altezzas off for sure one way or another haha.
Im leaning away from the SS kit too, i reckon it'll look like dog balls with my colour. Just a hunch

[MUT4NT]

loving the green mate! ooh and sigs very niice

[Seanyy]

Cheers mate, im in love with the colour to be honest. Paint > girlfriend. Hahah joking.
Yeah the good old sigs.. Im keen on getting some different 19"s when i get the money though, the sigs are a little too common for me man.

[Jonesy484]

what wheels you wanting to get?

[Mick1988]

I loved this car.... until I saw the tail lights.... Would be a pearler if you replaced them with some standard ones

[NVMYVT]

looks the goods mate,,, let me know what your doing with the sigs when you get the new rims :P

I got Advanti Volt 19"s guys, sorry NVMYVT haha, i did a swap.

And yeah Mick im looking at getting the stock taillights, and putting a light layer of nightshade on the red surrounds (so its still legal, and not disgustingly ugly)
Kind of like what the CV8R taillights are compared to the CV8 ones, just less tinted.

Getting round to it mate And they came on the car when i bought it early in the year, so im not sure. Genuine though, so probably at least 1500.

Cheers mate, and my sub+amp enclosure is sitting in my living room waiting for me to actually get it installed haha. Cadence 800W 12" sub with a 600W monoblock amp, with pattern-capable LED lighting if you may

[damoscommodore]

oh sweet man nothings complete without a sound system , Cadence 800w with monoblock should sound real nice , im runnin 2x1200 sonys yes sonys , with two 750 monos

[Seanyy]

Still not a bad setup you'd get a lot of bass kick, just not super-high quality. Oh well

[damoscommodore]

still sounds good man!
