Looks good mate :thumbsup:, nice and clean, keep us updated

 

[Kurtp]

Ended up getting new wheels anyway!

Check it out, havn't had a chance to clean the car. First saturday i have off work and it's pouring rain. GRRR.

Next to lower it!

 

[Kurtp]

Progress slowed down by alternator problems, pulled it off to find some great corrosion to the main power wire. Will change that over tomorow. Soon to lower it, probably about two weeks. :yeah:

lol about the guy who put speakers in centre consol. nice car mate, i got a few dings here and there, barly noticeble but need to have them fixed. looks like you got some mesh stuff in your grille at the front like i put in mine. should colour code your door handles rear garnish and mirrors, looks alot better, i was gonna take my strips off, took one off and i acctually prefered the look with them on, but id debadge the rear end if i was you. as well as getting some clear tail lights and side indicators. i need to lower mine but dont have the money atm lol, im lowereing mine asap

 

[Kurtp]

Yeah i was thinking of taking off the side strips too, If i end up getting a body kit for it i will most likely take them off right away, up close they don't look good, the person has done a bodge job on painting them up. And yeah i will be replacing those orange indicators soon, i was staring at them yesterday trying to decide hah! i'll take a photo of the original central console and in cars interior now.

Some pics of the cleaned interior.

and LOL @ what the last owner did, to top it off there was house tower speakers in the boot, with a 10" subwoofer in a xbox box (the cardboard box the xbox comes in)

 

[Kurtp]

Debadged the car today, also bought clear indicators will file back the holes tomoz to fit them.

Here's the pics of the results.

hey mate, what indicators are you putting on? if your just putting the clear vx ones they are a straight swap

 

[Kurtp]

They're supposed to be for VT-VX, but no it isn't a straight swap here, the original hole is not large enough. The plugs switch over fine though.
