Awesome car Dylan!

For ages I planned to have my BA looking exactly the same, with those wheels and no spoiler etc.

BF Tail lights will definitely be my next mod too. Can I ask what you paid for yours?

cheers ash, yeah thats what i was saying to you bout losing spoiler.would look mad on your car. bf lights tho are a must have.

paid a bit more than they are gonig for ( $24k)

but things like the gt wheels, exhaust, cooler, lowered, and 6 speed made it worth it...for me anyway.\

dylan you dork he was asking how much the lights were...

$120 or so. bought 1 from swap meet with a big scratch in it which he repaired for like 20-30 bucks (i forgot how much exactly) and the other from grant walker for $90 or so....

but saw a pair auctioned off at $315 with bids on ebay about a month ago..... go figure?
