I was going to keep them as they're for now, then maybe get them re-trimmed at a later date.

After some prick hitting his door on my rear quarter I decided to get the whole left hand side painted so it's mint for show&glow.. Whilst it was in for paint I thought I'd get these little
Touches done as well  :laugh:


I know the tank colour irrelevant to the colours in the car but I've always loved a creme tank

That is seriously beautiful :notworthy:
Only thing I would change is the rear wiper. I find it cleans up the look of the car massively.
But nevertheless, this car is awesome :happy2:

Thanks for the comments. Haha I do agree with the rear wiper, but I hate not being able to see when it rains.
I'll get some more pictures of the set up and brakes tomorrow  :drinking:

I had to get used to that when I had my cabby, so it's not a problem for me :signLOL:
Have you tried Rain-X?

Looks great dude.  :wink:

What were SiC's work like? I've heard mixed things. I would recommend turning off the ACTIVE thiingy (I forgot what it was called, if you have the paper guide book with the commands it's really easy) - The one where it will automatically adjust the ride height while you're moving. 3 other people I know (plus myself) have had their car dump itself while driving.

About your rear wiper you can put a durable glass sealant on. Rain X is not bad but not very durable, a couple of weeks. If you use G1 or Fly By 30 on a properly prepped window you'll get a good 6 months as a minimum duration, normally double that.

I haven't tried rain x dude..

Cheers jay  :wink:
Sic done a great job mate.. I'd recommend them!
I'll give that rain x a go and if it works I'll get rid off the wiper.

The active thingy? Haha... When your car lowers on lock etc?

I don't want it failing as it'll much my wheels. Literally have no space and sits perfect
