Hi Lads
I ended up ordering four sets - it all came to $280, including freight. Haywire, I will PM you when they arrive and sort out address details. I can drop yours around or something if you like Pullstarter?
Sorry it took so long to order - I had a massive fight with Paypal.
Sounds good Jezz, do you work in Canberra? I'm in the Tuggeranong area but can meet up with you somewhere if you like?

By the way guys I have also ordered these recently for delivery here in the UK. I bought them from here after seeing them installed on a white pimped out Tig.

Yep, I'm always happy to take a drive to get out of the workplace. I'm thinking that as they come unpainted, an you and I have the same colour cars I might get them done. A chap at colourtech quoted $100 - otherwise I am thinking of getting a spray can at Capital Auto Paints for $40...Quote:

Hmmmm thinking if I Shd settle w the cheaper option of spraying it white. U reckon the surface will be smooth? What does a primer do? Does it primer before spraying, u reckon? Don't know much abt painting. :P

The primer helps get a better finish to the paint and helps it stick better I believe. Having a look around at paints you can get a can of primer for around $12 to $15 however I think you will be painting white on white so you can probably get away with not using primer.Quote:

Seeing as the headlamps take full force of the air whilst driving you don't want the paint chipping off easily.
Well that's how I see it anyway.
