Hey, while my car was in the shed (so I could work on the stereo install) I thought I would snap some photos for this thread, not much different really to the dealer photos, but you can see the tint on the windows and the stone guard on the front.

Its pretty hard to get the car in there, because you have to drive it in on angle other wise you can't get both the front doors fully open.

Just a bit of an Update,
Installed K&N Panel filter, BF Tail Lights, and new rims 18x8's.

Few photos of the rims here, will snap some shots of the BF tail lights 2morrow.

as said in txt, looks awesome with the new wheels. I was wondering we're you thinking about colour coding the bump strip as well?

Noradrenaline- 09-03-2009
Those wheels look great! wadesta/thumbsup.gif Think I've seen something like them before... Oh, that's right! On my car tongue.gif

Must lower it soon!!!!! Oh don't forget to add "External Tranny Cooler" to the list of things to do.

Is that the thing to stop coolant getting into the gear box oil? Can you give me more info on it please biggrin.gif

Auto BA's share the radiator for engine coolant and transmission oil in separate sections. However, this section corrodes and you end up with pink mush going in the engine and the gearbox. Worst case - engine and transmission both dead. Most common is just a transmission fail. Still big f$$$ing buck$. External transmission cooler doesn't stop radiator corrosion, but it stops coolant and transmission oil from mixing. That is, engine coolant and transmission oil have separate closed systems with no common parts.

Job is about 400 bucks including parts and labor. (Rough price).

Wanna point me in the right direction for getting it done?
