    Default Brought my very first car today

    Hey guy, this is my first post on this site and to start off on a good note i'll start off by saying my first car is a commo, yeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwww.

    Here's some pics of my baby.







    Some plans are a good polish and clean, tinted windows, king springs, good set of black rims, cat back exhaust, MAYBE extractors, air/pod filter, all in time tho because i all care about at the moment is that i got a commodore

    Man, what a sweet car to have as your first.

    Another couple of things I'd add to the list of things to do would be to ditch the Series 1 taillights and orange side indicators for Series 2 tailights and matching clear side indicators.

    Nice car mate, i like that colour!

    Personally i wouldn’t get the loan, save up for the mods Plus im pretty sure the minimum from a bank is $5000.

    Nice pick mate! Have a geeze at my first ride in my siggy . I should've probably spent about what you did on my first car instead of what i did though haha.
    With the strips on the side, i presume they would be glued in, if so you should be able to get them off using a flat head screwdriver and some elbow grease. Then just use an air drill with a caramel wheel to get the glue off. Not 100% sure though.
