Mummba,

Thanks for the info on the lights I'll check out the paint & panel forum. Have you ever seen them done on a black ute? how do you think it would look?

When you say king reset leaves do you mean SL or SSL rear leaves or did you have them re-set at a suspension shop?

Yeh I just noticed with my rear flaps that after a few scrapes the flaps must have been rubbing back and forth some what and left some fine scratching behind where the flap sits normaly got it out with some serious polishing but when I re-lower the ute (hopefully after I receive a new diff compliments of ford... speaking of which anyone from Perth know a dealer who is reasonable to deal with?) I will ditch the flaps and have the guards re-sprayed.

Likewise on everythin 310_FSX asked :bowdown: and what grade tint is that?? looks tuff as

Awesome ute by the way 310_FSX, you have impeccable taste I must say :nyaah:

Thanks Bulletxr6t, Once you go black..... (bitch to clean though, brembos dont help!)

Are you running 20inch argents or factory 19's Im looking around at a few exotic rims but my fall back is a set of 20" argents hopefully in a 9 inch or wider if they are ever released! Any suspension mods yet bulletxr6t? where bouts is funbury? I just arrived in perth for work a week ago, expecting the ute this week.... know any good drives worth doing?

I want a dark looking rim (grey or black) hopefuly with a decent offset to fill the guards but I'm not supper keen on a chrome dish of any sort. If anyone has any sugeestions would be much appreciated, needs to clear brembos.

Cheers,

Matt

Get the guards resprayed under warranty, its a known issue, I had mine resprayed at about 5000ks.

so they resprayed your rear guards because of the rear flaps scratching it??? whos your dealer? im taking mine there!

Metro in the city. A few people have had them repainted.

Although they used the metro panel shop in Brendale. There work used to be good but has really slacked off recently. I got the ute back covered in swirls so was not happy.

Yeah I here ya, I've got mine livin up North where I work temporarily and it turns red bout half hour after washing it its a full time job. Funbury (read Bunbury)is bout 2 hours south ov perth, some sweet drives way down south as for up your way prob hit up the next cruise can't wait ta get out ta one. Sadly no mods yet, roads too :buttrock: up here to be rollin on rims or lowered and don't trust anyone up here to tune it haha

Factory 19's atm desperately want sum bigger rims though, I'm in love with the huge pumped guards on the tray but 19's look tiny in there haha. Thinkin 20's on front and 22'ish on the back then dump it on its arse. have same back up plan as yourself as the dark agents do suit them nicely. Try looking at Asanti Luxury Wheels - Custom Wheel Builder custom offsets colours etc and can paint the dish been too scared to ask for price though haha
