11-04-05, 11:52 GMT+10#23 Just a slight update, i've started painting bumpers and moulds in asteroid silver. Here's what i did yesterday, not alot but we ran out of time. It looks 100x better than what it did look like, i spose i dont mind driving around with different coloured bumpers for a bit lol.
Stuff to be done is paint side moulds and add the calais lower moulds i have now. Probably need a new front bumper piece and right hand side piece. New tailights, calais/berlina or something darker than my current ones.

11-04-05, 12:55 GMT+10#27 That **** was there when i got it, and there hasn't been a big enough need to remove it, but yeah it will be come off eventually. I think it will look pretty shmick with all silver parts plus the calais moulds. Its so annoying having something not finished.

11-04-05, 17:32 GMT+10#31 Towbar is illegal because it obscures the numberplate. Is that a big enough need to take it off?
You should just be able to remove the tongue part that is in front of the numberplate and leave the rest on there.

11-04-05, 20:58 GMT+10#32 The bike part will go, but the towbar might stay, as if someone rear ends me it really minimises damage to my car.
Also, does anyone know why the bit sitting above the bumper doesn't line up on the left, it seems to be sitting higher. Givin me the ****s.

It looks a bit funny there, the flash on my digi makes the seats look alot lighter, it looks better than in that picture. I like it, it makes the speakers not stand out as much either.

10-07-05, 21:28 GMT+10#37 Nothing over the top, just 2.5 inch exhaust system, and i started changing the bumpers to silver but havent got around to finishing it. I also have calais door moulds to go on, and i will be looking for calais side skirts soon. Then mags some time next year, it has pursuits on at the moment, they look good enough.

Sorry but I dont like the standard VL steering wheels get a Woodgrain Holden one.
