    Haha yeh, it was a pretty easy job (although a touch fiddly), I got the LEDs from JayCar at penrith (your best chance, they are nowhere else!), I think I took the last two though, so maybe call first?

    Installed a pod enclosure for the car. Had to do some cutting to make it fit the custom piping.
    Cleaned the interior some more and dressed.

    OK, pics of the paintwork. A few of you might remember seeing it at the bonfire. Changed a bit since then though. Basically did the rear bar and both rear quarter panels:

    The rear bar was black before I started. Couldnt afford to get someone else to do it , so decided just to get it the same colour until I could afford to do more. Had 3 cans made up at Allards in Canberra (auto paint suppliers). Didnt come out half bad I reckon. Still have to buff it when I get the chance.

      I washed my car and did a DIY headlight restoration with just sandpaper, water and cut and polish. Looks sooo much better!

      Got some new shoes. Rays Volks TE37's (Genuine, not Ravs Vorks or Raze Wheels :lol:)
      Front tyres were bald so got them wrapped in new Bridgestone Adrenaline RE001's.

      I know, I know, centre caps are desperately needed haha

      It already has tuner wheelnuts on. They are the Rays long style locknuts or a copy of. I had those nuts on my gramlights.

      Nice choice in wheels :), and screw centre caps with japo wheels!

      Edit - forgive me, just noticed centre nuts had open ends. My rays longs had a closed end. Could be D1's ?

      Yep, "D1 spec" lug nuts. Apparently they are made in Japan and they only cost me $50 new (local tyre store tried to sell me normal lug nuts at $2.50 a piece)

      Really need some centrecaps... but I can't justify spending $200 on 4 tiny pieces of plastic with a sticker on it :roll:
