Firstly...i could have sworn your name was Shane. Sorry my bad. And i dunno why i bought the car... mainly cos it was there, it ran really well and my VL was on its last legs... i need to get rid of it in a hurry. I don't remember saying its done a 15.8 but i'll put my money on it that it will now its been serviced and exhaust/intake sorted a little better. aus880... you're just a smart ass... i actually got it down a little bit off that but not much. And i got good money for my VL... you'd have thought they'd think to look under black electrical tape for windscreen rust.

its body colour now... as in the same metalic paint as the body not just a matte copy. Its actually Holts Duplicolour sprayed over a plastic primer... The problem is, that dash surround has so many coats of colour and clear on it that the bloody switch for the headlights doesn't fit properly any more.

yeeeeeeep yep yep its a lexcen you should have offered to take it off the dealerships hands for free and do them a favour? the interior even tho it looks better it looks ruff as S**T all lumpy and crap not smooth. what i would do is sell it and buy a mitsubishi mirage caus i think your ideas would suit it better. why havent you lowered it, the amount of time you would have read people giving you S**T on here you could have lowered every lexcen in aus.
