    G'day Guys

    My vp is looking a little bland, and i was thinking about doing something to the outside, any one got any suggestions. (cost effective would be good :) )

    Cheers

    on the topic of clear side indicators, how much would i be looking to pay for them? (ebay ofcourse) and how hard are the existing ones to get off...

    oh, MavVP, try 10mm plastic sleeves for ure lights. $2.50 got me a green interior light, green parkers, green boot light and a green glovebox light... needa get a new pack for my numberplate lights now ;)

    A good cut and polish will do wonders if the paint isn't too far gone. A nice set of wheels - 16 or 17". Tint the windows and lower it just a touch will give the car a understated classy look that will set you apart from the rest.

    yeah, i got mine from autopro and repco (autopro didnt have green at the time ;) ) they do look good, but ill eventually order actual green parkers because these are a bit dull. my mate has blue lights in his AU ute and it looks wicked and thats on a FORD! :D
