hey mate very tidy car, looks awesome.

did you install the splits in the door yourself? im looking at putting mine in the same spot, were they hard to fit?

[rhysdalegend]

Looks nice mate, pro seat covers?

defiantly remove the executive badge

[Jimbahh]

Yeah Pro Seat covers, they are great for their prices.
Haven't even thought about removing any of the badges. Not a bad idea.

Yeah I did install them myself. Wasn't hard was just more time consuming getting things in the right spot before making any major holes. But there's plenty of room behind the door trims for the splitter box thing

Sweet ride mate.. Love the manual and leather combo

I agree about the colour too =P

[Jimbahh]

I agree about the colour too =P

Yeah its the colour you'd expect to see a grandma behind the wheel.

[Cameron P]

Yeah its the colour you'd expect to see a grandma behind the wheel.

Oh your not a grandma then?

[Jimbahh]

not at this stage no =P

[Cameron P]

not at this stage no =P

Not at this stage!? So there will be a stage where you will be?

[1dvsbstd]

car looks great man... imo dont worry about colour.. as u want to re spray it anyway.. LOVE the leather n manual combo man.. definitely a win..

[dzach23]

Mmm manual.... Nice car

may want to double check but judging on the front grill, Wiper/indicator stalks and lack or series 2 badging. It's not a series 2

[Cameron P]

you have a series 1 mate... just noticed :P everything dzach said you dont have and also you have orange needles for your speedo whereas series 1 have white

[Jimbahh]

yeah ill check into that, i havent really looked, just been going on what i was told =S ill get back to you...

[GEN3RATD]

nice car. colour looks alright, IMO only thing thats needs changing is the tail lights.

[Jimbahh]

yeah tahnks guys for pointing that out, i never would have noticed, its definatly only a series 1, ill edit my posts =D
seeing as the series 2s had white needles and that would suit me better than the orange needles, just wondering if any one knows if the white ones could be fitted to my cluster.

the orange ones are awfull imo!!! well all it is, is colour so i cant see why not. you just use a fork to lift them off

[Jimbahh]

yeah i dislike the orange too, they dont show the blue LED light very well either, thats why if i could get some clear/white ones i think it would not only look better through the day but at night aswell

[Jimbahh]

Fixed the orange issue, just removed the dials and scrapped off the paint. Look million times better...

[fuzzy2308]

looks good bud. baby blue engine cover though?

[kcpwns]

looks good mate
was thinking of giving those proseat covers a try...
obviously they go alright?

[Jimbahh]

yeah they are good, a bit tricky if you fit them yourself though like i did id suggest you get someone that has done it before to help you.

[Jimbahh]

Yeah was planning on the whole black and blue thing, just havent got around to the black part yet

[Cameron P]
