Gonna need to actually make a member's ride thread pretty soon!
Already helped a mate move a bar fridge, slept in the back, and took all my bottles and cans to the depot in it. Wagons are wicked. It's also not slow, I got an opportunity finally to safely use launch control, and using a camera for measurement, clocked the 0-100 at 5.5 seconds pretty much on the dot. A lot better than the conservative 5.8 figure, just 0.1 shy of someone on Youtube. I'll take that. :P
On the mods, I'm still waiting on a LED projector reverse light and I need to buy some Philips BlueVision globes for the cornering/bend lighting, but in the mean time I have almost finished the Euro plates. I've ordered the SA state lettering in the proper Euro plate font to hopefully apply this weekend, but for now I've drilled and test mounted the front plate. I love it.

The rear is tricky as the dealer who delivered this car to the first owner completely botched both the front and rear plate holes. The front was easy because I can redrill the plastic with no dramas, the rear is less simple because I unfortunately need to drill the tailgate which is not something you want to do quickly and easily, and it's also completely permanent. The current holes are a solid 5+mm different in height, which makes a big difference when the plate is so wide, it looks completely awful as one edge is almost touching the top of the tailgate where the lights mount. So the plan is to carefully drill new holes just next to the old holes, rather than out at the edges as I did with the front. If a dealer had done that to me, I'd be wanting a new tailgate, they did an abysmally lazy job.
