    No i took the front bumper off and left it off waiting to get some round indicators to fit on the front and just a duck bill! I left the back one on as it looks pretty sweet with all the chrome, but the front one just stuck out way to far and was missing some plastic trim that made it look ****

    just a stupid question! does anyone know a way to stop the rear view mirror from vibrating when driving? everything looks like a blur in it and unfortunately its not down to the speed of the car lol!

    Also finding this offset stuff rather confusing, Would 16''x7'' with an offset of +40 fit with a 40mm suspension drop?

    16x7 et40 will fit, but might need some spacers to make it right, I'd say a pair of 10mm up front and 15mm at the back might work it to a good look.

    And it depends on your front brake calipers as well.

    Depends on the rubber too.

    Anybody got a block and tackle in Perth that would be willing to let me use for a carton of piss? Need to pull the right hand side forward about 10mm! Think previous owner must have had a bump at one point and my grill doesn't sit flush!

    I have considered just chaining to a tree and reversing but thought i would see if anyone had the proper equipment first!
    Cheers

    Finally my baby is back on the road! A week sat on jacks and both wheels off, new bearings are in and brake pads! Wheels are on the back of a truck somewhere in the middle of Australia! All that's needed is some tyres and some hub centric rings! (mayb some spacers to)
