I still have idea's though, brakes, colour coding, shaving, debaging, etc.I tend to agree with others, I drove a BA XT until I got off of my p's that was stock aside from 2x12's in the boot! Then once off of my p's got a BA Turbo.On the other hand, I modded my current car for me and although I appreciate kind words from others I have done it in a way that I like and enjoy driving everyday. Each to their own, you have a great base for a nice cruiser which ever way you go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 07/05/12 10:39 AM Author Share Posted 07/05/12 10:39 AM Hate to only do another quick update, but I was unfortunately admitted to hospital a day after I picked the car up.So no driving my baby or photos or anything :(But im better and coming out tomorrow!However with all the time I've had I went ebay shopping.Order a set of floor mats because the car didnt come with any for some reason.And done some research on HIDs and intakes.Ill be getting my hands on a set of 6000k HIDs for hi/low beams, foglights, and matching parkers and number plate lights.Also found a place that sells the SS Growler kits and Big Mouth induction for a decent price.Im also looking for a place to get the car tinted, if anyone has any recommendations on places or tint amounts.Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try and stay out of the places lol.Good stuff about HID choice. Parker's and number plate lights are a few bucks from some Chinese or Hong Kong sellers.Tint, the folks on their new territory went to tintmaster. Perfect finish no bubbles and it was darkest legal I think. Not too dark but keeps the sun out pretty well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 12/05/12 02:29 AM Author Share Posted 12/05/12 02:29 AM I'm all out and well thank god I ordered new mats off eBay as the car for some reason didn't have any. Decided to go Witt black mats because they are easier to keep clean and I think it gives the interior a nice look. im yet to screw the drivers mat in cause I'm lazy.I also got my hands on the HIDs an started installing them. I contacted a guy directly off eBay and ordered several kits for some mates cars as well. Installation couldn't have been easier, and he gave me new style ballasts that didn't need to be connected to the battery and just ran off the loom.The above photo is half done.If I remember correctly, the HIDs are 6000k 35W and H4 globes for the headlights and H1 (I'll need to double check) for the foggies. I'm going to install the foggies today.The matching LEDs are spot on in colour, the front parkers have 9 diodes and the rear number plate ones have 5 diodes. I got everything at a really good price. If anyone is interested PM me and I'll see what I can do :DI also took the damn dealer sticker off easily with a hair drier and my finger nail.much better lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 18/05/12 04:48 PM Author Share Posted 18/05/12 04:48 PM yeah you were correct, H11 for the foggies.well they went in pretty easy. well worth the $150 for the HID kit here are some pics:passenger foggy in. the drivers side is still factory.Very happy with the outcome of the kits and the price. Would highly recommend the guy I got these off. Driving at night is now a lot safer, and no one has flashed their high beams at me or anything.Also did the premium sub fix, by inverting the polarity on the back sub. Another easy mod I would highly recommend as the sound quality increased dramatically.Only point I have to add with that mod is that instead of pulling the rear parcel shelf off, you can access the sub connector through the boot, which saves time.My best mate also last week picked up a white VZ SV6, so been cruising with him a fair bit. His also coped an earful for being a Expensive Daewoo driver lol.Once I've got my car looking the way I want, a photoshoot with the twowhite cars is going to be mint. :D 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
