How do you afford such a car earning only $400 a week?

[Wagon_Wheel]

Lookin good mate! VX berlina/calais always look good.
Headlights really make the front too, bet it goes well compared to a 6 lol.

Ohhh and ditch the ugly turtle shell for some twin piece covers

hey mate,

i like the first wheel. Shorelines are good but they are getting way to common. keep me posted on when you want to get rid of your 18's

[rch-13z]

yeah 1st ones, like nicko said 2nd ones become as common as our vy ss rims....

the black bit on the first rims will match your headlights...

[wrx884]

i say neither i cant see these rims suiting ur car id wait out the 3 weeks 4 ur 1st choice

[VR304]

awesome vx love the LS1's
was soooooo close to convincing my dad in letting me buy me a VT SS 5.7
till the owner told him you couldnt drive them on ur P's lol
other than that go for a OTR CAI setup and mafless tune ftw
car and rims choice is perfect
remove rear resi for sound wise to

[benjiaka]

What ya gonna do man when The New P-Plate laws come to Adelaide? you'll be spewing little man
