I have had the same wipers on my car for the last few years.
They work really well and are actually the same as the standard one on my GF's 2007.5 Holden Astra.

i dunno.. he hasnt taken it off yet i guess. probably hasnt needed too yet. lol
the paint colour is really hard to pronounce.
its a simillar shade of blue, but a lot more metallic, glossy and has a bit of a pearl look too it. its different enough to stand out, but not to outlandish to scream for attention.

Brisbane_boy · 10-02-2010, 12:09 AM

yer i know what you mean, we did a similar thing wen we repainted the silvia, mixed up the same paintcode then just added heaps of matalic and vibrance peal..
Should look good. When is the date to get it painted??

02-KQ-LASR · 10-02-2010, 02:26 PM

should hopefully be done in about 2 weeks.

on another note, i have got the rear door trims done now! i finished them off this morning. now all thats left are new tweeter holes and a few touches on the front door trims and there all done!!

scott b · 10-02-2010, 08:17 PM

fitted up my new front bar to make sure it is all ok, there seems to be a bit of a gap between the bonnet and bar but its alot due to the rubber seal, i couldnt for the life of my get it any closer. but fits pretty well everywhere else

pr1mo · 12-02-2010, 06:35 AM

pics or ban.

DavoAust · 12-02-2010, 07:26 PM

some dick tried to break into the astina while it was parked at the station today. didn't get in but busted the drivers lock.

anyone had this happen? how easy is it to key a new barrel to the same key?

irony = buying an immobilser & alarm yesterday.

project.r.racing · 12-02-2010, 07:46 PM

yes i had it happen to me. but they broke both locks. and i had to get into the car via the boot for 2 weeks.

any locksmith can supply and re-core the barrel without problem.

marcs_sp20 · 12-02-2010, 08:20 PM

paid to keep the car registered for another 6mths... $343.70 is a joke, considering 4 years ago it was $280 & that included the 7% fuel subsidy

D Valerius · 13-02-2010, 04:00 PM

Removed spare wheel to discover the well almost 1/4 full of water.
