Looks fantastic gldgti! Definitely reinforcing my view that the pre-FL exterior looks better than the FL there.
Polished the Wagon last weekend..... its an 07 and I think had never been done before at all - roof and bonnet covered in etchings and scratches.
I managed to get most of the bad stuff out (missed a few bad scratches on the doors but hey, don't want to have all my fun at once eh?), and the car is looking much more respectable.
Also, got tints last week. Sheesh! Talk about lots of glass - the car had 35% on it already but I thought it was just some lame dealer tinting because it didnt seem very dark... so the tint man recommended I go to 20% which looks great and I'm very happy with the result:

Thanks mate. Year I like the more angular headlights too - interesting the new octy will be more in this style too.
I do personally prefer the FL rear bumper, but I prefer the pre FL front.

now you just got to get rid of the long ariel and replace it with one of the stubby bee sting sorts...gives it a fatter stance...

I agree.
That long aerial looks ridiculous.

Hey Mysticality,
Have you tinted your headlights?
The pic in your link makes them look darker...

Yup!
I'm blacking out all the chrome/silver bits.
I used *wince* Commodore-spec Nightshade spray.
Did it with the spray to see how it would look... And it looks bloody fantastic.
Am still trying to find a tinting specialist that'll tint them with film. The local guy won't touch it.
Almost considering buying some 50% off eBay and doing it myself, but not 100% confident with that...
