Thanks guys. I am replacing the front and rear bars and adding some SS side skirts. I hope this gives the car a subtle unique look rather than a "stand out" look.

New wheels are on and I've just had a run on the dyno before I start thinking about changes. Came out with 188.3 hp at the rear wheels :w00t:
Not bad for a Berlina :D

I reckon the other mags looked better ? :confused:
You do? Each to their own.
I like these ones. They suit the car more, atleast I think so anyway. Once the new bars are on I think the old wheels would have looked out of place.

I got sick of the silver engine covers so I went looking for some blue paint to give it a different look.
I usually don't like the red covers because HSV had them as standard fitment to their cars. Since I don't have a HSV I didn't want to go down that path. But when I saw this paint at Supercheap I couldn't resist. They said they don't have this paint in blue so I went with the red for now. I spent $40 in paint and papers and it came up a treat ( as much as I love photochop, the colour in this pic is straight off the camera )............
