    white was a definatly in the future i need new tires first but.

    im thinking about picking up some stockies, silver ones, and putting flappers and dress trims on them, as just a tempory thing untill i get my vx rims powder coated or untill i pickup some bigger rims, hopefully supersports :)

    yeah man, i recon it looks good, really changes the look. have you removed any yet?

    yeah, my front bumper isnt in the best condition, and it came with a couple of cracks, so a new one will be purchased in the future and painted, but i need about $500 for that :/

    the updates should be flowing soon because cash flow is steady from now on, new apprenticeship, i didnt say much cash flow but ;)

    Man for some reason I keep seeing your car everywhere, a couple of weeks ago (just after Xmas before NYE) I think, I was driving my GF's black Cruze and noticed your car outside Nth Parra Dick Smiths, so I parked right behind it haha :p

    And lol @ your muffler, exactly the same thing happened driving my car to Tafe once. Came around a corner in Blacktown and heard some weird scraping noise, pulled over in a carpark and there was my rear muffler snapped off the pipe only hanging off by the rear mounts, style right there lmao

    Anyway your ride's looking good dude, +1 for Supersports but I want them as well like everyone else hahaha :p

    I reckon we polish up the cars and find a good spot to get some pics taken man!

    mate you got it in the bag! these are back on ebay, the guy i picked them up off wasnt telling the complete truth, apparently of a "vz sedan" but yeah, they struggle to fit on a vs commodore, funny that!? lukcy they were only $20 :D

    anyone got a ford :p

    this look will still be rocked, im on the search for another set, hopefully some will come up cheap, that are actually commodore ones :p

    umm i actually sold them again when i swapped my stockies, but they were atlas 15" walls, i got them from ebay America.

    i dont know weather they will fit or not onto a 17" rim, but why not give it a go ;)

    yeah probably, you know more than i do, i measured them but and they are 5x114 so thats a falcon stud pattern too. oh well, they are on ebay now and hopefully someone will pick them up :)


    small update!

    i had a spare set of indicators lying around (orange ovals) so i decided to hit them with some nite shade and chuck them on because lets face it, the orange is ####ed!

    im not 100% sure yet but i recon when my windows are tinted they will blend abit better.

    honest opinions?
