hey guys this would probably be the third time i have edited this lol to get the pics to work, anyway here is the story of my car. i bought it in september 06 with 1 previous owner and 115,000 km's on the clock, when i bought it, it was completely stock no tint, spoiler or anything.
i had ford put the spoiler and tint on as part of the deal which they wanted to charge me $500 each but just a little haggling and well lets say the car didnt cost any extra. a little while after i started the general aftermarket mods, i bought a set of 17" shadow chrome RJR Storms, a pair of shadow chrome tail lights and a 3" catback lukey exhaust system. this is basically the look of the car now
and yes that is a yellow sticker on the windscreen, you ask how and why???? my parker lights are a turquoise colour and i have the super white headlights which the bulbs are a blue colour, so the nice policeman thought they would give me a hard day and get me for it (even tho the headlights are ADR approved how dumb are they) and a couple of other things.
this is what the parker lights look like in action
next i started a little on the engine bay with a K+N panel filter and a little cosmetic work
i put the same turquoise coloured bulb in the interior light and i installed a white cluster face
the cluster doesn't light up blue like i thought but it has this kool 3D looking effect so its ok. so thats my girl so far enjoy, theres many more mods to go such as i want to lower it a bit and put the XR50 bodykit on it then do alot more to the engine.

hey guys i received the bodykit yesterday and have started putting it on the car i havent got it painted yet, thought it would be better to wait until i have finished farting around with it.
its coming together nicely and am hoping to finish off putting the last of the skirts on today, when i get some pics of it i will post em up.
anyone know of a good painting place in rockingham that would do the kit for a decent price?
