Sounds like you want to do everything that I've done to mine.

Make it easy on yourself and buy mine?

Seems good mate just a lot of little things to fix.
I`ve got 220000k on mine and it is running great.
Good luck with it.
Cheers Pete.

haha yeah hama i googled the color plus s pac to see what other people where doing to there's and yours popped up and i'm like heyyyyyy that what i wanna do!!!
if you where selling yours this would be on ebay in a second.
but then again there's no fun in buying a car pre modfied, more fun to get your hands dirty, stand back with a cold beer and go i did that :beer chug:

i might have to shoot you a few question about you lpg setup if that's alright im thinking of going vapor, i got the tank and im gonna spend the money i get from the sale of vr as well plus the gov rebate

@ pete cheers mate little things dont worry me hopefully i can keep her neat and clean which didnt happen on the drive down empty coke bottles and lolly packets every where haha

 

[two-bit]

last week gave her a cut and polish with some mates as we wanted some photos of our cars together
2 hours later and the wrong camera

No stress mate, hit me up with a PM if you need a hand/advice/info for anything mate.

P.S. Car needs lowering bud Get a set of WH Grange 18's on it, set it off

Looks a clean car as well man, keep it nice and clean and street original

Im going to cut n polish my VS soon... looks like yours came up mint, and looking heaps nicer with the tinted windows.

Curious, how much did it set you back? And what % did you go with?

lol i still gotta get mine done, ive driven past it a few times and does look alot better

ps: still quite happy with how those pics came out xD

 

[Omerta]

480? Sweet.. seems ill be getting a pretty sweet deal through a work mates connection then

I was thinking of going 15% all round, but not to sure coz I still want to be able to see out fairly decent at night still and especially when I have to drive at night out in the country where there is no street lights. How is the 18% for ya at night?
