Work in progress!

Post by Websta14 »

Thought I'd upload some pictures of my fro gpx I purchased a few months ago for only $3,500 with 9 months rego! Had it all checked over twice now and everything is good just need new engine mount rubbers but I'm pretty happy with it, what do you guys think?
I wanna change the gold as I feel it makes it look abit tacky!ImageImageImage

Nobody's going to be much impressed with the kit. :lol: But you do you man, still looks relatively clean! Those tyres are tiny though! What are they? 215/35?

Yeah I'm not a big fan off the kit either .. Yeah the tyres are way too small but they are almost brand new lol so when I need new ones I'm gonna go a bigger profile

Yeah that's true, they're scratched a fair bit from previous owner anyways haha. I just want it to look neat and tidy. I want a new body kit something that's a little more plainer and I want the front bar to be the same height as the rear as you can see here the rear bumper is way higher then the front witch I don't like at all lol

Why'd you buy it if you don't like how it looks?

Only the front bar and rear, after looking at it for more then a few days it just doesn't look right how I would want it lol I bought it because i got it cheap with heaps of rego and service history... Just because I don't like the front bumper doesn't mean I shouldn't buy the car, body kits are easily changed right?..

Yes they are easily changed but only worth it if you can get good condition kit and then get decent paint

Facelift Rheo - $150
Facelift bar - $550
Facelift indicators - $120
Facelift headlights - $500
Rear Bar - ~$100
Paint $500

I like it would have considered straight swap with my facelift kit only if it was in same colour! Used to have a poster of fto w this kit on the wall almost 20 years ago.
