yer going to the panel beaters at lunch today to book it in, i think ill just tell em to take the rear lip of and spray skirts black and do the little black lip around the bottom of the bars, whlst theyre doing the other stuff, unless they charge me heaps more, in that case ill do it myself. well its as i suspected, pulled the rear lip of a bit tonyt after work and yup its all white under there! dam it! ah well good news is its official now, booked in to go to the panel beaters monday morning to get the front sprayed and re-aligned, and touch up all little chips ect.. he charged me way to much to do the black strip round the bottom and sides, so stuff it, it can happen another time if i reali reali feel the need for it. As for the rear lip, i think im gna search for a rear bumper for sale in good condition, dunno reali lol, but dont worry guys its comming off!!

Did a little bit to it over the weekend. Relocated the AFM into the intercooler piping. Definatly makes a big difference, idles lots better now, no stalling every now and again, all ok now. And for everyone who is hating that rear lip good news is I picked up a calais rear bar with the black strip on the bottom, so the panel beaters will fit that up 4 me. Goes into the panel beaters 2morrow morning to get the front fixed and touch up all other little imperfectioins ect.. then when i get it back on wednesday/thursday, its getting a full detail in and out and it should be looking better. Also will be sorting out the transfer papers for the number plates so i can have them on. So by the end of the week i should have a few new pics up Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

JVC dvd head unit: And a nice big PWR tranny cooler to keep the temp down in my auto: So far its all going good. I was supposed to get a full detail in and out done, but i cancled due to this lovely Melbourne weather, I figured it wouldve been a waste of time and money It's now booked to be done just before the Cruise for charity, so it should be looking micky mouse on the day.
