s2 garnish I brought brandnew for 800 and lights for around 300ish.
a lot of money but man do the brandnew ones look so much better.

the lip is a brandnew aftermarket ss lip. its good because theres no joins in it its one piece.

after dyno its only 170rwkw. was hoping for around 180-190 but what can ya do.
shes torquey as hell though, roads are wet on the way home and I kept struggling to get traction :driving:

I'm amazed that you were able to find a new one, pretty rare now.

Did you need to mod the rear lip to get it to fit the s1 bar?

yeah at the moment im trying to just avoid any attention and just keep it looking neat but reasonably standard,
after I got cut off and knocked off my bike the copper ended up owning me in court so ive got the next 12 months suspended sentence.
so im going too quieten the exhaust "just a bit" and keep it relatively standard for a while, still maintaining a neat looking car.

after the 12 months ill consider some proper white walls, as the atlas walls didn't like the sun all day

That sucks. Good behaviour bonds really make you change your behaviours(for the 12 months anyway;) )
So, are whitewalls illegal or you just don't want to attract attention?

In SA they are illegal, not sure about vic though.

Sucks about the good behavior, I have recently quietened mine down too...not because of any trouble but just because I get home in the early hours on weekends and live in a near silent area so I try to do my thing for the community :)

yea superlow kings front and ultralow rear
surprisingly I got it above 100mm by modding the exhaust a tad.
but with the twin system it hangs really low (60mm) at one point.
very illegal but if im going to a shop to quieten it a little I might aswell get them to tuck it up higher if they can.
I don't wanna have to upgrade back up to superlow rears :(

so I try to do my thing for the community :)

haha in my community id rather hear a 'nice' sounding v8 putt past.
boys in blue don't though :/

and yea atlas whitewalls that are just inserts are legal in vic.. but the ones that shave the sidewall of the tyre off are not.
ive been pulled over with the atlas walls before and the copper said theyre okay, problem is if they wanna be c**ts they'll defect u anyway and theres not much ya can do.
ill probably leave them off to avoid attention from the popo, it would be nice to still look great and have it still undefectable though
