    Hey guys this is my new rig bought her last friday and absolutely love it!

    MODEL: 2006 WM Statesman
    COLOUR: Black
    BODYKIT: None
    ENGINE TYPE: V6 Alloytech
    ENGINE MODS: None
    POWER: Enough to move it
    GEAR BOX: Standard Auto
    DIFF: Standard
    BRAKES: Standard
    SUSPENSION: Standard
    INTERIOR: Standard full leather
    EXHAUST: Stock
    STEREO: Stock

    Well as you can see it is completely stock for now haha but it is only a week old so mods will come with time.
    Dont wanna be going all out on it as i think they are pretty well equipped out of the factory will just be chucking on some rims, lower it, bit more of a stereo on it and possibly exhaust. Just general p plater stuff for now. Also some black mats because trying to keep the creme ones clean is a bit of a challenge!
    Having a hard time deciding on rims at the moment so if anyone has some suggestions swing them my way! But i am sort of thinking a black on black euro look might be the way to go?
    Cheers guys,
    Jackson

    20"s
    On your P's you don't want the hassle of getting defected everytime you go out for a cruise on 22"

    Something simple to clean :)
    A five spoke with some dish would be classy, have to look if you want chrome or black

    Nice car mate. The current shape is a real limo I reckon & black is the best colour IMO. I was looking for one but there were no decent examples around when I was ready to buy..

    Looks good mate, but rip off the mud guards :)
    And have you considered tinting your rear lights because they stand out like crazy atm.

    Very nice mate, classy looking car.

    I know it's a photoshop but you may want to raise it slightly at the front. I might be wrong but I think the wheel base is longer than the SS and I struggle with scraping in multi story car parks, speed humps etc so it'll be killer for you

    well i managed to get coilovers in over the weekend
    sits nicely, little bumpy but they are still settling in
    love the fact i can adjust them haha
    BigBoss i have seen a few blokes going round with tinted tail lights and it looks awesome but does anyone know the legal side to it
    is any tint on them illegal or is there certain percent like window tints?
