    ye ye, after the defect gets cleared, ive got a to do list:

    - Get Caprice Grille

    - Get my 19"s engineered by Stuart @ Tonkins...

    - Tint Re-Done ....... consider weather to do mirror tint this time around or just get the notorious big tint done again haha =D

    - Start to do Stereo Install

    try to get the first 3 things done before c4c cause i anit showing up stock to c4c stock haha....

    stato all back to standard for regency friday =( wish me luck.....!

    and have picked up my splits last night now as well......so starting to get parts for my system together now, they are MB Quarts 6.5" Reference's.. not mucking around with SQ in this setup this time, hence why i went with the MB's

    lizza's stato: well i don't even know the height man i believe they are like SSSSL's..... but ive been told i think 2.5-3" under what regency give you tolerance for lowering your vehicle.

    naa i didnt just ran Munroe heavy duty shockers as the shockers .....

    smoked engineering friday arvo with Stuart,

    was plently of clearance under full lock, and the rims didnt fowl anywhere at all..
    so pretty happy bout that..

    now Tuesday i get all the exemption papers and the new tyre placecard.. then we are all set.

    going to be funny when i show up the regency with people seeing the car rock up with 19's on trying to get defect and roll straight over..

    rego runs out 3days before regency tho =( so im going to use my RAA free tow down to regency hahaha then ill whack rego on it straight after while im down there..hahaha beats paying for a one day permit =D

    okay well today was d-day at regency park...

    and it was all good and smooth as, luckily I got two awesome inspectors =D
    they were a bit confused why i would try to come thru with 19ths on, but then when I filled them in about the engineering they had a laugh bout it...

    so ye well back to gettn stato a bit better now, springs on order (a new ride height...i think ill go for some super lows, as ive got a biggish stereo install to come that will slamm the rear a bit ), and tint gets done on Sunday arvo.... so then we will be all good =D

    well picked up the two piece series 3 rear skirts yesterday...

    and they where in ok condition, a few light rub marks, and few scraps on bottom of em.. so ye there were the typical nicks n **** in them..

    so i took them across to my painter 2 secs from my house and he going to buzz them back and fit em up for me Wednesday this week (fingers crossed if he gets time..) so they will look minta.. and Saturday picking up a different exhaust tip, so it looks nice with the skirts..

    my *new ride height* springs will be here Tuesday, so ive gone with some luuvells Super Lows which will be enough for now, and when i get the front series 3 skirts it will look as low as the SSSSL but only be Super Lows...

    and my whitewalls get done on Wednesday morn... makes me cry ever time i look at my rims without them so ye..

    and hopefully this week i get my HID's for my fog lights done, then will be all good =D

    so there will be a few pics over this next week...so stay tuned..

    true. i was gonna go the s3 grill but they are so hard to find so i just went for the caprice one^_^. did you get the s3 number plate mould aswell because the s1 etc wont fit on with the skirt
