I didn't know you'd still be able to see the blue with the full lights turned on! ahh well, still good. I'll keep a set of the clear ones just incase.


Just to update my 'Future mods'

-I want my car lowered (I got a thread in the vt-vx section with a couple questions if anyone wants ta help me out )
-I want my chrome door handles put on with blue LED's behind them (if anyone is interested in doin it for me in melb pm me )
-I wanna fix that damn scratch on my passanger side skirt.
-Gettin the gear stick and handbreak reupholstered, and maybe the front seats
-Need a new windscreen!!!!!! Quite badly

Then thats it!!! I'm not throwing away any more money!!!!

I like your list of upcoming mods. Saphhire will look wicked when your done.

Miiiiiiiiiiike, can I have your chrome shifter button and handbrake button?? Pretty please????

And what door handles, and door vents are in Sapphire?

[MikesVT]

Hahah, my chrome shifter button is scratched as ****!!

The old guy who owned it before me must have worn a few rings or somethin

I think it just needs to be polised up or somethin, it wont look as bad, but itll still be there

Her interior door handles are chrome and same with exterior ( SOON ).

I put the SS mats in today, n suprisingly they look really really good... especially in the back seeing as how theyre molded perfectly. Might need to give them a wash though coz theyre more grey than black haha but they look good.

Ahh.. I took her for a bit of a run on the hume highway today, just to let her stretch her legs was a nice drive.

"Remaining fuel" went from '550km' up to '650km' n coming back down sydney road close to peak hour back down to '600km' with about 7/8ths of a tank left ... < makes sense to me! haha

Blue parkers arent in yet.. Tryed to put them in today with no success! I couldnt seem to get to them... I'll try again some other time, so for now, Its full lights or nothing

Those chrome door handles are STILL in my room waiting to go on... I'm so slack!!

I'm lookin for a place to get it a cut and polish... she really needs it =/

Anyways, not much else to say... I've hardly been driving her since my old mans new car got here haha... I suppose that means I'm saving alot of petrol

Lowering has been postponed indefinately again!! damn it!

I'm gonna get the gear stick and handbreak reupholstered in the next 2 weeks while im on holidays. Then gotta get the air con fixed, then gotta get my damn antenna to go all the way down.... Bah...

nice car mike good to see it in the flesh

[MikesVT]

Thanks brent

It was good to see the XU6 and Ruby in the 'flesh' as well. Hope that light gets sorted!

Anyways, Got the car washed twice today... and $35 later..... Well... at least it looks good from a distance lol

I only got one pic as I was in a rush when I got home, but Its pretty hot, so I thought I'd put it up

(It looks better on my phone) haha

[MikesVT]

Shes no more.... Or at least it looks that way...

She was hit by a truck today at about 3.15...

Thread in the pub section for pics

if i was you, i'd go a VS statesman, i see that, i see that.

[MikesVT]

It getting repaired

Insurance are trying to stooge me saying that some of the damage (scratches) weren't caused by the accident, but they were... But thats all being sorted...

Ive narrowed dont my options for a next car to a VX Calais or VY Berlina... I love the interior of the VY, but the VX is a Calais...

She comes back on the 18th which is a friday if all goes well...
