That's not a bad photoshop job there, looks like one of those games where you have to spot the differences.
Your plans look good, definitely ditch the mudflaps though!

13300 is an awesome price for one of those rigs. Well done.
Just ditch that spoiler ASAP and get a towbar cap, win.

Thanks for the responses, and as for the stupid P Plater mods warning, TRUE! I'm a firm believer that the more simple and understated a car looks, the more attractive it is. The weathershields, mud flaps and towbar cap are happening this weekend. Then then hopefully i'll get a DJR bobtail OR a new bootlid with a force lip. I also have a K&N panel filter ready and I may get a typhoon secondary intake.

Just got this clock face to tie in the clock to the rest of the car, hopefully i'll find a dash template with the same design. Anyone have a template out of a fairlane/ltd?

Turned out my template was no good, so I had a proper look on eBay and found some genuine fairlane fascia's on.
Here's the URL, there are three left:

Yeah, I can't wait until they arrive. Anyone have a Fairlane/LTD (preferably LTD) grille that they wouldn't mind parting with for some $?

I want to tie the rest of the car up with the grille, I don't like the current one because of the black centre. As for the BF2 front, yes I like it, but i'm not a fan of making a car what it's not and don't want to customise it too much too.

Oh ok, i'll probably go see if some wrecker has any. Also today I was bored so I decided that the matte rocker cover wasn't to my liking, SO I got out some aluminium foil and degreaser and cleaned some of the surface. Then I got some mother's polish and 1/2 an hour and tonnes of elbow grease later this was the result. I couldn't finish the rest as by back started getting painfull, and it doesn't allow me to bed far enough to reach the sides. It still needs more on that surface but I can't wait to finish it off.
Metal polish used:

thanks man. im not sure, if i dont find a good mkii front i might try graft the mkii xr front pods onto it and just get a xr8 bonnet. there's a sr lip made for this front end but its rarer than anything.

This car looks mint, I love it
Even if you kept the front end, it still ties in with the XR skirts
Did you replace your whole ICC to get the black one?
And where are you from? I think I seen you the other day... have no idea where though, Newcastle/maitland/central coast by any chance??
