You're right there. As soon as we can find a decent chroming place we'll colour code the bumpers to match the door handles.

As for the rear spoiler, it's not an A9X, it's a UC, and UC's look crap with rear spoilers : )

Here's proof

And now look at it without the spoiler

Sure does make a big difference : )

that front spoiler you made turned out sweet. some personalised plates would finish it off nicely.

When (if) my car gets registered I will get NITERIDA plates.

Quote from Night Rider in Mad Max - "Do You See Me Man ?"

My nickname has been night rider since 1983 and my friends gave it to me from that character when I stacked an RX7 at 195kmh on the Kwinana Freeway - rolled 4 times, took out 1 lamp post, 2 trees and ended up in the swan river. Got out the car (not mine but not stolen) with blood pouring from my head and proceeded to "run away" as you would .........
Didn't get far though as I had a broken neck and ended up in hospital for a few days, only to find that the break was just a scratch on the x-ray. Still bloody sore though but 2 days after the accident I was out and about on my Kawasaki - still with a neck brace on.
So I think I live up to the nickname (well not anymore of course Posted Image

my fun filled days of youth)

And since my UC will be changed to no longer look exactly like a UC (not like an LX either) I think the quote makes sense and may get it subtly written somewhere on the car.

Ooops sorry Tim Posted Image

farking lol , that's awesome : )

Congrats on the progress on roady Dirtbag and bro, it's looking mint!

BTW a Ventura bus went by me the other day, and i noticed it had some lights in the rear bumper that were almost the exact same style as your front indicators. Only major diff was that they were reverse lights, not indicators, and obviously, they were wrapped in a road going people barge, not a sexy hatch.

Suggestions for plates that are not resticted to 6 characters:

VERSION 01

U AINT CN NUFN YET

MORE TO COME

STAY TUNED

HATCH IT AND THEY WILL COME

HINT HINT

NUDGE NUDGE

I'm sure we could all chuck in for THE HELP POOR DIRTBAG FUND, - HE HAS RUN OUT OF TORANA TO WORK ON!

And even if we only raised 1000 bux and some pocket fuzz, we could buy you a clapped out dunger and be happy that your build threads will continue for many more moons.

Hell, it doesn't even matter if it's a UC, we could probably get paid to take the thing away and have funds to put towards tyres for your brother to fry on his hatch : )

(no offence UC owners, one day someone will invent awesome tail-lights for them, and they might even be better than LX ones : )

Hey congrats on getting the roady. Must be a big relief.

Just looking at the pics of the front of the car and i remembered earlier on you were planning to fit these pieces of like a narva truck light lens over the front indicators, to give them a less orange hue. Are you still planning on that? I guess cos the car is orange they sort of blend in with it anyway though.

Yeah, still planning to do those. I have the alloy to machine the outer rings too, but am running out of time pretty fast. I think the ones on there look fine, but the new ones will look a LOT better.
