Good work sixappeal
I love the overall understated slightly sinister look, lower body kit and lack of boot spoiler especially looks good.

Now for twin turbos and the boys here will really stand up and take notice. :idea:

Oh, I'd love to twin turbo it, unfortunately I don't have $15,000 laying around for that kind of work.. If the cars still with me after I finish studying, then that'll be it for sure!

Thanx for the comments guys! Gen3Ute, gimme ya standard chrome strips! :vpo: :p

Sweet looking machine but you may wana edit your wheel and tyre info *Wheels/Tyres: 20" HP Hektik's wrapped in 225/25R18 Nankang Tyres* If the rims are 20's shouldnt the tyres be aswell or are they just a tight fit? :D

Yeh, it's a Super Golf Course on Clayton Street, I made sure they were shut when I took the pictures just incase some dodgy golfers were there, heh

Nice work on the car:bravo:

Haha! All good.. I've been there a few times, understandable. Thanx :D

Hey Yiddo!! Yeh, it started off as a boring Acclaim, look what happens when you work night shift for a year and a half and have no social life :( heh


seen this rig in freo i think, might have seen me a bit (silver VYSS with P plates??) looks pretty nice specially at night!

Yeh, more than likely! I'm in Freo quite regularly, love cruising the coast :D Don't think I've seen you around though :( Come out for a cruise some time :D

Ohh, thanks for picking that out for me! I just did a quick edit when I updated all my cars info!

Phew, now I'm exhausted hah! Thanx again people, I really appreciate the lovely compliments! :bravo: :bravo: :bravo:
