Thanks! Yeah I had 20" VY sigs colour coded to the car on it but I had supersports once before and getting rid of them was the worst idea ever, so my tax money got me another set! And I've just got a white line strut brace and went with mace ignition coils. Spent 4.5 hours last weekend getting it ready for a local car show that was today/tomorrow and I'll upload some pics tomorrow or Monday

These are of the Monday before the car show after 4.5 hours of intensive polishing

I dunno why but I'm seriously contemplating swapping the supersports for a set of matt black fr20's

Forgot to mention I got the whiteline strut brace, mace coils and picked up a Philips HID kit off a mate for $100 that he had only had for 12 months and it retails for like $800. Only took about an hour to fit
