my question though is where do i get dials that look like this: http://astinagt.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8096 with the colours and everything for my BA? had a look on ebay and didnt see anything which i liked particularly - either that or they were $220 :S maybe im looking in the wrong place???

man if u want Dials, do you want self iluminating ones or ones that are backlit, ie a replacement for your current ones. ones that i have for EG are selfiluminating ones (EL) and they are around 220 so yeah. the ones that are just a piece of plastic are around 30. if you want the EL ones get them from ebay germany (ebay.de)

How about these? They arent exactly the same style, but are white and in Australia!

Is it illegal to remove the reflectors in a rear bumper? I know there are reflectors in the taillights, are they enough? Most custom bodykits these days dont have them, so you think it would be ok?

the pro's...keeps dust, rain and sun off
the con's...putting it on n taking it of alot,holding it down with rock's,
looks like its worth stealing.
thats all i can think of,but if my ride was in the sun like you said
i would get one.

They scratcch the hell out f your paintwork.

[Rupewrecht]

Yeah, unless your car is clean, you just drag dust/dirt etc over the car as you pull the cover on and off.

as far as i know is, as long there is a reflector on the rear of the car (red of course)that shouldnt be a problem unless u aint got any on the taillights and only on the bumper then u better leave it on

found some http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...K%3AMEWAX%3AIT cheap too... dunno if anyone else has found these before, they have a few colours/styles all the same price... when i have money and have fixed my leaking car - had a 1cm puddle in the rear passenger seat... at least the amp still works :P



which leads into my next random question. where the heck can i go to get my door seals and trims (the ones that run along the roof, as well as the metal strips which run down the side with rubber...) dont want any from the wreckers, chasing new ones... would mazda rape me for them or can i source from somewhere else

Might be due to no space on the laser tail lights? I mean comparing with 323 tails, where they go into the boot...

Never been to your house bro! No approval needed

[bourbon]

marc shade sales are the proper ones on the big poles, which will probably need council approval...but the little portable carport covers like marc pictured dont need approval...

[marcs_sp20]

ah sorry, read it wrong, thought mat meant the one I pictured

[Brisbane_boy]

not a bad idear that cover thing.

might just go put it on the street where i park.

lol some one might steel it lol. :P

ya i would like to get one. might just see if i can put up a shade sail off the house. do the sneaky sneak. :P

[marcs_sp20]

Being in redbank plains, even leaving your mailbox unattended will get it pinched!

you could just go to crazy clarks & buy a cheap blue tarp, nail it to the eave of the house and place poles on the other ends?

And of course peg it down
