Well after seeing Combat_laser's recent pics n seeing how well a black bonnet protector fits right in I decieded to spray mine black...

On the drying rack



Will get it on 2mrw n post up a pic...

Also my 25mm spacers arrived... Sits nice n flush now but mite need to roll/massage my guards a little

[FR34KO]

i waaaaaant to see this bonnet protector!
Also, on Wednesday I walked past your car leaving tafe. Stopped to admire as usual.. Did you notice mine at the very start of Traynor ave?

[bobbyjimmy]

Also my 25mm spacers arrived

Oh yes.

[SAV84C]

As requested



I think I can get away with not rolling my guards with a bit more camber in the front...





As for the rear too much camber I think... So needs adjusting n may need to roll the guards... I also might actually raise it a touch...

[bobbyjimmy]

Or lower it more?

Guards aren't even rolled yet are they by the look of it?

[Sam]

Looks tops with the spacers. Way better than on my car

I don't like the tucked look... Want more of the flush look...

Also Still need to get the front coilovers sorted n in which will get rid of the front wheel arch gap

My cars front end has been clunking going up driveways for a while n thought it has been my adjustable sway bar links but I put some stock ones in n still clucked... So i checked my ball joints n tie rod ends and wat do u know ball joint boots are torn n full of dirt with pretty much no grease in them...

So did some research n theyre the culprits into the clunking..

Now the real question is to the all u suspension gurus...

Do I get standard ball joint replacements?

Do I go for the Superpro ball joints?

Or go for the full roll centre kit from Superpro or Whiteline?

Superpro is cheaper than whiteline even with my trade price connections

There was problems with the whiteline versions but however had them revised...

I'm leaning towards the superpro kit with ball joints n tie rod ends

I'm gonna wash it 2day! Even gonna clay bar n polish or wax it for the first time since I've owned it... Will be nice n shinnnny for the cruise

I like it Chris. Blends in well with the other black bits and bobs on your car.

[bobbyjimmy]

I'd go the Superpro's - onto my 4th set of the Whiteline's...
Plus you can get the Superpro parts separate for later on when needed.

Edit - What price can you get them for?

[bobbyjimmy]

Double post fail...

[FR34KO]

Yea i think it'd look great in person!

Unfortunately this sat is looking less and less likely for me so i wont be able to see it all shmick! When are you doing the claybar nd wax? Might i be able to see it during the tafe week haha?

These rocked up today... ordered from the US on the 13th gotta love the US Postal Service with their quick postage!



Will be putting them in first thing 2mrw morning to replace my worn out shitty aluminium D1 spec lug nuts

[FR34KO]

How much did they cost!

[SAV84C]

How much did they cost!

77US... You can have mine for $70 I don't like the open ended look coz I have longer wheel studs n they stick out a tad so I have to buy longer ones...

[FR34KO]

I possibly wouldn't like that too, dunno. But don't wanna spend that much on nuts that im just gonna paint
Would also rather spend that towards the roof fairing Soz man
