Same thing

Obviously you've never hit a wombat before. I'd rather hit a koala than a wombat if it came between the two on either lane.

I've seen trucks come off second best to wombats

When I was hunting on my uncle's farm we found a wombat and my uncle had to put 7 bullets in it from about 5m away to get it to die.. sturdy little bastards

I hit a wombat in a 4 runner and it honestly was like hitting a massive speedbump

A fleshy, bony speedbump.

You hunted a wombat!!!

My uncle told me to shoot it but I refused, it wasn't doing any harm to anything. He grabbed the rifle off me and shot it though

I heard ages ago it was illegal to hunt native species?

its only illegal if you get caught

Your uncle is a cockhead

It's legal on a private property as far as I know. They cull roos because they f**k with the land and stuff.

Also, it was in a gully and was going to die anyway. Was all mangy and sick. Still, I didn't want to shoot it.

So when is the facelift bar going on then?

All depends on this carbon wing business. I want that here first in case it arrives damaged. It's a big if but that way I can paint/repair everything in one shot instead of doing it twice if things go badly. FTO luck right? :')

Anyhoo, I have a painter, just need quotes and that to see how many parts are worth respraying at once. At this rate,it's a couple of months away..

Plates will be first I think but I'm wondering, has anyone used square plates for the rear? I was looking at it before but there's this weird gap at the top that might look dodgy.

A couple of months away? Takes like 1 day to paint a bar lol

For simplicity's sake:

Yea I have square rears for my plates. I had them on my other bar, they fit nicely but yea you do have that gap at the top, but you'll get that on all of the plates

hmm weird as,it'll be more pronounced with the square ones being narrower too. Might borrow one and test it out first.

Yea all my spare plates are at my parents in the boot of my MX6, so i'll have to organise to get them brought to Adelaide

Don't you have to go full custom with the yearly fee for square plates though? Maybe I missed one of the options..

ed: ah, you can get the premium ones...

Annual fee is for full custom ("XXX XXX", "XXX" etc).
Once-off fee is for something like "X-55555", "XX-5555", "XXXXX-5". Has to have numbers on the end and six characters!

Yea I've got premium plates ie; CCXXXX

Ya ya, AA-XXXX
