MCS Wheels Needed

[im_dave]

Nice pics!

I agree those first alloys are a nasty piece of work. Haha. The flamespokes and the s lites both look good. Though I think in real life the S-lites aren't that shiny!

Is the aero grill a hard job?

Yeah, I tried to Photoshop them a little more silver, I think those ones look very chrome. I think the S-lites will do wonders for the poor little car.. :P

The Aero Grill isn’t too bad, I did it one night after work, think it took about 2 hours with me stuffing about. You definitely need a Dremel Tool though; I wouldn't attempt it without one.- Can loan you my dremel if you want to attempt it.

I tied to make the mods on mine reversible as far as possible. If I really wanted to I could remove that aero grill and replace the stock chrome and silver one. Doubt that I would now though.

Dremel tool?!

Think I'll wait til I get the full aero front bumper before I give it a go. Good photoshop skills mate!

Hi Guys,

Been meaning to post some pics of the baby with the new wheels courtesy of Im_Dave. (Thanks Dave)

The before pic...


I'm really happy with the results. (Aero Grille, Tint, Wheels)

Ahhh... much beter.

Good work. BTW where is the location of the two latter pics? I see a lot of people taking pics there but have no idea where it is.

Cheers.

Great photos! Especially the shot with the Eureka tower behind.

Showing my age a bit here, but I remember when that yellow sculpture was revealed in the 80s (IIRC), it created quite a bit of controversy. Even as kid I thought it looked pretty cool. It was originally installed closer to the river, from memory, maybe near the World Trade Centre??? Someone will correct me on that. Now it's over near South Melbourne, isn't it?

The pics were taken behind the Malthouse Theatre near corner of Sturt St & Grant St, Southbank.

It's a good spot, because of the contrast of vivid colours I think. Photographed my SLK there also.


Like this spot also, behind the Officeworks on Kingsway.

- "It" is affectionately called the Yellow Peril. It was originally located on the bank of the Yarra near the corner of Flinders and Spencer Streets. Was covered in graffiti mostly. Think it's home on that corner near Sturt and Grant St is much better.

Looks good mate. I have to check it out sometime!
