Replace your current wheels with the VX GTS and get rid of those dreadful guards and the car would come up a treat. All the best.

All the best. have a issue with the VX GTS wheels as the tyres are to wide, otherwise they would be on there atm its currently running ANZ Five+Fives which look a lot better than the wheels in this pic, but im going to be up grading to soem white 20s in the near future. the guards really are not that bad, not everyones (including mine, bought the car with the paint and body work already done and its a custom colour) first choice but everyone who has seen it in person seems to like em. so they stay for now. thanks for the feedback but, im just keen to get her to the strip and see what she can run :-)

well guys i got sick of the SL tailligths so i managed to pick up a set of calais tail lights and center garnish, plus the bootstrip and tail light extenders for a good price so this arvo i put in teh taillights and garnish, its to dam cold in canberra atm to be out side so teh boot strip will have to wait till i warmer day. but heres a quick pick i took of the rear end. looks much better IMO Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
