Yea it's two pack mate. My best mate is a spray painter, it's spies and hecker paint. Colour coded to exterior of car. Also used special plastic undercoat. Just made the interior look a little newer and less boring!

Love the red trim on the wheels and grill, it offsets the blue really well. Also, nice engine/car combo!

It's an eBay brand that a lot of guys use, it's an engineering joint in Melbourne I'll look it up, very pro kit. I will get them to fit pulley to power steering pump as it's a head #### as involves heating it up etc to remove old pulley etc was about 400 and does every belt including air con etc!

Ha ha don't think anyone ever said my ute is sexy lol.
It is sitting on super low king springs with shortened struts at the front for better ride. (does not scrub unless full lock up a drive way)
Rear all so has poly bags that I have pumped up to keep it off the bump stops, also has smaller bump stops! Altho thinking of going air bags as it's my work ute
