    I have the same problem. Gutter rashed and badly repaired from previous owner. But I don't have a second set of wheels to put on while I repair them.

    I'm planning on getting new rims when the tires on mine are done and I'll probably repair them then and put them in the shed.

    car came up mint after that detail mate! black cars are so freaking hard to look after, especially if its a daily. My missus had a black fto and it was a nightmare to keep looking good all the time

    you shal see, Tomorrow Hopefully, If not it should be friday :) I'm rather excited hehe


    I'll get some good pics of the car as well. Haven't done so yet, Worked out rough fuel econ when i filled it up last night, its about 13.9 local running, mostly 5 minute 3km drives at a time. barely gets warm lol.

    Exhaust has also dulled down and sounds better since the muffers have bedded in some more. :) Still can't get over how much power and get up and go it seems to have. Once these wheels are done, I'll start saving for a tune i think.

    There still 18s, I bought two new tyres the day after i bought the car because two were Farked. So i had to get 18" wheels, I Think I'll keep the old wheels and clean them up and put them aside might put them back on at some stage before buying others, and sell the current ones.

    good thing about the mags is they are relatively cheap,try the 19's next time and see if you like them,i have found with the 19's the car looks lower even though its not and yes need some tyre shine-lol,looks alright though

    I dunno if I should clean up The rims and paint them silver again, or paint them gloss black, with the chance they may end up back on the car? I seem to do pretty well cleaning up wheels and making them look pretty again haha.

    Really wish i kept them, would have been nice on this car :(

    Looks to be in great condition. Nice pick up.

    I reckon fix up the original rims and run them. They suit the car really well.

    Its one of them Aaron ;)

    Okies well I just went out a bought another Factory air intake and air box. Does anyone have any pictures of this "TWO HOLE" mod, I bought this second setup so if i wasn't happy I haven't damaged the original one and i won't be upset haha.

    Once I have this sorted and the filter, will that be enough to have it tuned to make more power?

    From word of mouth a Growler, and the two hole mod are the same basic theory, so it was cheaper to buy a second box and give it a go. Any thoughts???

    Pictures would be great too!
