im very much the same andy, but we cant take a line up of plain looking cars down there. We need the brightest and the best looking rides representing us.

hey, i dont claim to have one of the top 12 cars, but i just got my retrim, and am hoping to have the car reprayed by final battle. Also have a pretty extensive ice system and have just sold my wheels (just waiting to get the $) to make way for at least 18's. More info can be found in my readers ride, but as long as i get it all done ($$$) id like to be considered if possible. Also i didnt see toyboy (TOY 323) mentioned anywhere. I saw his beast at newy last sun and its hot as f***. I think he would have to be up there!

By that time SP18mkII will be sporting 100kW+ atw, SP bodykit, vented bonnet? aftermarket grill, black headlights, tinted tails?, angel eye fogs?, partial vinyl interior, DaveB guage rings, short****ter with Maxx Sport shiftknob, SP18 decals, Jspec trispoke steering wheel, 323 Astina aluminium scuff plates, black handbrake boot?, and Advanti Flash 16x7" alloys with 205/45/ZR16 Sumitomo rubber.
Obviously some of those things are done, some thing are here but not installed and some things are up in the air...

having seen robs car i can vouch for his car looking pretty darn hot....

skippy, you'd need that paint work sorted out before even considereing it.... if you think the swirls show up bad normally, you should see them in the autosalon hall...

andy, chrome more chrome dude autosalon has a big show on looks, love looking at the CAA guys and gals, unwashed, and functional car audio....

Also, at autosalon, are you allowed to drive in and then change your wheels? or do the wheels have to be on your car already?
