Nice cars, love the custom plates!
The black rims on the AU are a nice touch IMHO.

Couple of nice looking cars :) AU sounds good from in the cabin and looks mad with the black rims. ^^Agreed about dumpage too.

Ahh I remember your EB. I always loved it.

I wouldn't have thought the black rims would suit the blue, but I def agree with Gozza - it works really well. That's a decent figure from the AU, has it been down the strip yet?

cheers for the replies :D

nah the au hasnt been down the strip yet, SA doesnt have a drag strip :twisted: .

i originally painted the rims black because they were scratched to buggery, but it has grown on me now.

Yes we do! AIR - ANZAC Impromptu Raceway :P

I think I remember meeting you when you bought the EB on a couple cruises back in the day.
I agree with everyone else about the AU, it looks quite decent with the black wheels.

Do you pay $160/yr or whatever it is for the plates, or do TSA sting you more because they're only 2 digits?

The XR8 looks mad....

My old man has an AUIII XR8, Venom Red, with the 220kw engine and the Factory racing bodykit. Wicked fun cars

Any more progress?
