Nice Alan

Jason - you might want to look into vinyl dye. We have successfully dyed a heap of beige plastic computer stuff black - dunno about going from black to white or where you might get electric blue vinyl dye from but where there is a will there is a way

Todd! · Apr 5th, 2005, 12:10 PM

Nice Al!! The S's make them really stand out!

The rubber thingys are very good too... mats soon

Paint should be fine. Yeah, it might get a few stone chips, but that is what touch up is for

Noice covers Al. The 's' looks sweet

I don't have anything new on my car, as of yet. But I saw somthing I never want on my car in the car park at work the other day. So I HAD to take a picture. Ahh picture phone finally comes in handy

Do you know who owns this piece of sh*t at your work, if so tell them to wake up, they look terrible.

MiniMiL · Apr 6th, 2005, 12:19 PM

they're "spinner" hubcaps *shrug*
My friend and I spun them, then just stood there a laughed for a few minutes.

I don't know who owned them, could be anyone in newcastle. But they sure do suck....

Todd! · Apr 6th, 2005, 01:03 PM

They were Scotty's - he traded the R90's in on some sicko hubcaps.

Nice touch Liam.

n00b · Apr 8th, 2005, 09:25 AM

Nice Liam. What's the damage to the wallet? I thought you had to buy the complete set of OEM white lights and can't buy them separately like this.

minigolf · Apr 8th, 2005, 09:36 AM

My dealer charged me $99.75, so it's not the cheapest bit of plastic. I didn't even think of buying the light separately, until I saw MickyD's at Eden last year. So, yes, should be no drama to buy just the single high level rear light. Although when I ordered mine on Wednesday the guy at Rolfe Classic told me there was only two left in Australia; a) dunno if that's BS but have no reason not to believe him, b) dunno how long it would take to get from overseas.

It took me, a complete gumby, about 10mins to do. You'll need a torx driver thingy to remove the three screws from the underside of the hatch. It can be a bit tricky to pry the light out once you have removed the screws, just use a plastic knife or something I guess (I used a screwdriver, but don't try that at home kiddies!). Removing the electrical wire from the OEM rig requires a bit of brute force, and the damn spoiler gets in the way, but as I said it took 10mins, so its not too bad. In fact it has probably taken me longer to write this post and upload the pics!

MartinSullivan · Apr 8th, 2005, 09:53 AM

Do you have the part number for the clear brake light?

Cheers
