    Ah was hoping the front tyres were older hahaha. You'll want decent $ for them then, normally i'd offer around $100 for a set of 4 with ordinary/crap tyres, but you probably wont take that if you have fresh rubber. They'd only get used for skids by me anyway.

    $120 is fine for two (with good tread) or $150ish for all four if you like, doubt you want the hubcaps?

    I decided to get rid of my green parkers and plate lights, not a P plater anymore and just liking a more pure white colour

    Is it just me or does the front look a little high.. probably the subs + full tank + LPG tank in the boot making it look funny but I'm not sure

    SMD LED's, 5 of them on the one wedge
    eBay Australia: Buy new & used fashion, electronics & home d

    I got my green ones from him too and the parkers have lasted a good year

    Oh and yes true that 5.0, SS lip might touch the front up there. Will start looking around, with a few things starting to go in this engine (mainly the tensioner which i can't be bothered doing) I'm looking at an L67 conversion, apparently has a different torque converter but will bolt onto the box so hit a few birds with one stone. Auto may need some attention too though

    are the numberplate globes wedge globes? I think I may have some somewhere.

    I tried to take the cover off to look, but they seem to be stuck and I was afraid of forcing them and possibly breaking them lol. they do just come off from the outside? not from the inside of the boot like the reversing lights and such?

    Assuming your Stato is the same, yeah T5 Wedges or something universal fit in one way only. It is just a clip on the outside of the boot somebody could steal them if they wanted, if they weren't put in the right way they may be stuck. But both covers should have the clip on one side (right from memory) which you can squeeze and then pop them out, from there you just need to twist the adapter and pull out the globe

    ahh I had a look and see what you mean there is a tab on the side of the lens. turns out I also have a set of led wedges from the commodore. they should fit. I'll have to try and get the lens off.

    do you get the blown globe warning and chime if you use leds? (if commodore has this feature) I know if you use led's in the back end of a statesman it can trick the computer into thinking the globes are blown because the leds draw less power. same with the front end if you use led parkers.

    Mine doesn't have that feature, I see what you mean in your PM now, that could be annoying lol but if none of your other ones have done it so far I would hope they're fine

    I would if I had the money will have to see how I go next pay and over in Melb. Also might have trouble with the sikaflex lol

    Cheers Anton, yeah should be good fun. Was meant to go to an NA6 cruise today but had houses to look at as well as a puppy up North. Also saw iChris at about 12 today at the new lights on Armadale road
    Also I feel I want the side skirts as well, maybe rear bumper but they can wait front first

    Opposite direction so towards the railway. Was in the GF's car
    Also disregard that, SS back bars look funny. Maybe just side skirt but then it may look funny from the sides, dunno

    ahh. I probably had my music blasting. I assure you I was not heading to the carwash either.

    have you considered calais/statesman style skirts?

    Suuuure you weren't
    I like the Calais ones noticed another thread where a guy is chucking SS kit onto his Calais it seems but depends if they will post or not :/
    Though he doesn't have the rear bar which doesn't look that out of place after all so considering that
