I'm with Kito on this one.

And definitely different rims.

Your sideskirt paint job looks mad bro. I'm maybe on the hunt for some SS or S-type ones though so that my rear bar won't look out of place.

Clear indicators are on the way from ebay I want to lower my car but I cant afford such an expensive mod atm and as ive said earlier I have to drive the car really long distances so I want to make sure its done right!! New wheels arent really high on the list of things I want to do but we will see.
Anyway rear bar is now done!! I cant wait until I can polish the new paint up! Im really happy with how it turned out.

It's a good job mate. So it looks good but how worth it is it? Does it still look like the rough grey plastic surface when you're close up? Does it still feel like the rough grey plastic surface when you touch it? or is it smooth and clean like the rest of the bumpers?

 

[MattyZero]

Unfortunately its still textured plastic, which is why im now on the hunt for an SS body kit. I did sand and prime the surfaces but the texture still came through. Point is it was a good learning experience, looks better than faded black plastic, and has given me some good practice until I can track down the bar and skirts I want.

 

[djdomohudson]

It does look better than faded black... Could have gone all Mighty Car Mods and gone BLAAACK but it's looking better in body colour. Shame it still feels like rubbish
Yeah me too +1 for the SS body kit. Good luck finding purple ones but then you've been learning to paint so it could work out.
I'm finding it hard enough to come across white ones which were common

 

[MattyZero]

I fully intend to paint the parts when I get them! I found an ss bar I could get for $50 but I would have to drive 3 hours to get it lol.

 

[MattyZero]

Ok so a bolt snapped off and now the wheel makes a squeak sound like an old man in a rocking chair when I drive, how bad is this and should I get it sorted sooner rather than later??

 

[djdomohudson]

Um... Take the benefit of the doubt and go get it checked out pronto.

Yeah im gonna go get a bunch of studs from supercheap and replace them all, im pretty sure this was caused by overtightening of the nuts by kmart auto the guys I got to do my alignment, never ####ing go to them they are **** one of the nuts fell off on the way home from the alignment and now this!! wankers man. :ranting:

best off replacing them all if one has snapped. did kmart auto do anything else or just the alignment, cause the alignment doesn't require them to take the wheels off.

BTW car looks sick :spot on:
