Looking good!

What did you do to move your number plate up higher mate?

[FR34KO]

Cheers man.

Just tek screwed it in higher right through the bar.

Wasn't really worried about reverting it back, seeing as the effort to get a fuked up screw out of the number plate when i took it off, ended up with having to grind it off... In addition to this bar already being really ruined by previous owner, and my sister AND mum reversing into it



bahahaa Chris! Love it!

[Matt]

Hmm i was worried you were gonna say that lol

Might look at modding some plate up at work

[Matt]

[Morgan]

How much were the tyres?

I wonder where u got that grill from lol I ran into the same problem... Did i give u the centre piece for it?

Yeah, along with a good wash and a full wax that I did at the same time, the car looks 100x better

Ok, so a mate who I got them through said they're worth about $600 each. Anybody should correct me if that's wrong.
I paid, per tyre, $35! hahaha (Not 350, no typo btw).

They're second hand ones, LOL. Meaning that, they've been imported from Germany after being used for no more than 5,000kms. That's about 10% of their lifetime. So overall, I'm saving money, getting great quality tyres, and that's better than the $100per mediocre tyre I could've spent.



And yea haha.. Nah you didnt, I assumed you sold it!? It's cool though, I'm just going to cut close to the front leading edge and put the mesh there, will look similar to the Rev D-E grilles.

Great deal on the tyres... Theyre chuck them on all the german cars...

Now I remember I sold virtually after gettin it back from the wreckers...

[FR34KO]

It's a relatively new place on Briens rd in Northmead. I didn't look at the name (oops) as I just drove in there and up the back where my mate was waiting as he works there.


Yeah, crazy deal!

[MrSober88]

Yeah there is a place like that in ACT, called Northwest Tyres. They import them from other countries and they change them over sooner.

Is it Tyre Kingdom? http://www.tyrekingdom.com.au/

[justrad]

Nice...What's the color code/ color name paint of ou boot lid spoiler?

[FR34KO]

Mine are 225 40 18, i think... (not standard)
And no idea if that's the place lol.
And I MIGHT be able to. Not sure how he goes with rands, but i guess he'll give you retail for the seconds which you'd still be saving with!

The lip was pre-painted like that, they just asked for the colour i wanted and they clear coated over the top also. It's just a standard black.
