Yeah man still got the stripping its waiting to go on to the maroon vp.
The crome trim is actually the standard trim with all the paint sanded off. Its actually alluminium under the coating.
Iv done the left hand side trim on the white sedan havent done th 1/4 window yet or lowwer trim

Really? so it would work on my mates vp? he has been looking for chrome trim for ages

Yeah mate. Iv herd the easyest way is to use paint stripper to help remove the coating off the trim.

I used a flapper disk on the grinder to do mine was quick and easy but was very agresive on the alloy. So i still had to hand sand with 80grit then 240 to finish it off.

Hey mate.
The wagon has the vy hubs and lca's the camber spec's im running on the front is 2.5°neg set to full positive on the hub adjustment. With ksport coilovers and ksport 3d camber caster strut tops set to max neg camber and caster on the strutops.

The biggest problem with the setup i found was the lca's caused my rackends and tie rod to be to short by 30mm to short perside. 60mm total.

I have extended rackends modified standard ones to solve the alignment issues with the toe.

iv still been lazy with both of these, the wagon has just been clocking up work trips, on the up side it is back on 17's so it sticks to the rd a bit better again.
how it was with green tailgate (miss that lol).

how it sits now.
had to strip the wheels back to alloy on two off them due to damage on the paint, so left the rear alloy just cause i can.

the white vp has been on timeout in the garage collecting dust again.
on the good news it will be getting washed, then off to willowbank for some runs at test and tune. see if it can still manage a low 15 second 1/4.
