    If the roof rails are the same design as those on my Octy (and they most likely are), then be careful pulling of the plastic end caps, if you don't start at the right place (front of front cap, rear of rear cap) it would be easy to break the little locating (plastic) clip on the other end that helps hold them on.

    My rails were made of alloy (main body), and plastic (caps that cover the mounting screws), painted silver (original Oz fitting) or black (replacement rails pirated from a NZ model). You might want to get (or make up) new seals that stop water from getting into the body at the mounting points if you are taking the rails off.

    If you want to see what it looks like before making any permanent changes you could paint the rails with some water soluble art paint and then just wash it off after you have looked at it (but I wouldn't leave it on too long).

    If anyone can let my know where to get a set of those wheels I'd be greatfull. I love the look without the centre cap over the wheel nuts. And correct me if I'm wrong but they also look like 19s! YES PLEASE!

    Really? If they're 20's I'm not interested... Not willing to compromise the handling that much!

    Mate,
    I don't blame you..it's such a beautiful beast!
    I've been considering doing this aswell (plus tuning), but most likely our R36 will become the missus' car(we're expecting our first in Jan) and i'll probably look at the R20T when it arrives next year sometime. Will def be doing something to that for sure!!
    Cheers,
    Jayse.
