I'm pretty sure kumho, (or was it simex :P )make white walls, thats what i had lined up for mine, they were $105 each in 205/60/13, which is not too bad :P

ok then, well its not as expensive as i thought. i want to get 195/50/R15's and thinkin of getting a thin whitewall on them.

 

hey what do you all think about painting the body white behind the grille?? i can't visualise it and don't have adobe so i got no idea what it will look like. or should it stay black?

I can't remember who does it, but there

was someone on the rollaclub who paints

there metal behind the grill black... it looks

more aesthetic and if its white your going

to be receiving all sorts of muck and crap

behind there, that could be a pain in the arse.

yeah i spose u got a good point bout all the bugs and crap hitting it, didnt think of that. thanks

Dude those crystal blinkers are mad they look heaps better then the ones i've got. Any idea what they are off? I see you relocated them as i've done. Nice work looks good! As for the whitewall tyres I had some guy hand me a business card the other month and he specialised in painting them on your existing wheels. He had a range of different colours too. Can't remember the company but its here in Wollongong.

hey thanks mate, those indicators i bought off ebay and are called known as crystal indicators. they look awesome. but the whole u put in ur gaurd is alot more neater then mine. mine is pretty rough but if they fit, they fit. sorry wollongong is waaaaay 2 far away 4 me lol.

Well if they look good and they work, thats all that matters! Yeah wollongong is a bit far for you, lol, but there would be someone out there that can do the same closer to you.

Keep up the good work mate!

yeah well thats right, thanks 4 ur diagrams etc, was a great help! :fuzz:

think i have changed my mind on colour which is bit of a bugger. want a more standing out colour but don't want to copy anyone with there colours. anyone got any ideas on colour? not sure bout blue, jus don't look right i don't think

Got a bit bored today so i decided to paint a few things etc. i started by painting the brake calipers red with engine enamel which surprisingly came up pretty awesome. The windscreen washer bottle, overflow tank, ignition coil and the 2 round pieces of plastic up on the sides of the bay (dunno what they are), all these went a nice chrome silver. Due to not having a centre cap 4 my new wheels i decided to paint the small hubs on the drums the same silver to kind of match the mags and not look rusted and crap. Jus look at pics and u will understand what I'm blabbin on bout lol :D
