Dude, remove your plates, they're not required to park your car in the garage

hehehehe. the back ones are off atm and the front ones will come off when we wetsand the front bumper...

To everyone who hated me doing it the first time; I'm gonna fill those screw holes from the numberplates! lol I'll make a bracket or mount the plates some new way when it comes to it.

Righto, got my order from GAP but haven't had the time to install anything yet. Reason for that is this...

OMG I LOVE YOUR WHEELS GIVE THEM TO MEEEEEEE!

havent looked through all this thread only about the last 10 pages, and it looks real good man!

[Mrk_Mickey]

That's lucky, because the rest is crap! hahaha.

thanks bro, hopefully lots more to come

Looking good mickey, what electronics will you be putting in to open the rear hatch once its done?

[Lorenz]

Nice work Mickey, didnt realise youve gone to this much effort! Youve got balls to sand back such a nice mainly original paint job

[DubSteve]

That rear hatch is win!

Why not call into Sign -A - Rama and get a vinyl sticker made - to the right proportions of course

Well we'll put a solenoid in place of the boot popper; I'm not sure how it will work yet but I think Jaycar has a few options that are available.

Haha thanks bro, yeah I was just not happy having a yellowed white colour car! Plus I wanted pearl anyway...hahah

I thought about a sticker, but if I want to take it off then a bracket would be easier - and cleaner (hopefully anyway!)

[GoLfMan]

looking good.

while your at it get thinner tyres for the front so you have matching stretch profiles, and fix the stance (MOAR lows with SPT)

looking forward to seeing this at Nats

oh mikey, that hatch is fine bro, nice choice there! however I vote you don't pull the guards too much otherwise you'll loose the P out off SPT camber camber camber! just don't go too mad with pulling! (take that how you want )

I reckon your exhaust looks too tame! though very clean and will probably compliment the clean lines of your body.

And whether or not your keeping it close to your chest but have you thought about sanding, smoothing the bumpers and colour coding the side strips?
