yet another update lol.. so much for stopping :P

alright so over the last week i have got my car a pull cut and polish because the top of the car was faded so alot and it just looked like sh!t.. I have absolutly stoked with the job that the detailer did on my car. it looks amazing and has transformed the look of the exterior.

another one showing the seat :D

Image

I also bought some new door cards because my ones had big holes in them and also looked like sh!t :P

update...

I thought it would be funny if i gave my car angry eyes to :)
here they are...

Everything seemed to be going good till i was driving down the coast for work and my headunit kept turning on and off.. My first thought was alternator and when i got to work i soon found out i was right when i tried to start my car and got nothing :(

so with no car and no way to get home i had to get it towed to the auto electrician to get a new alternator in :( fml

Alright so something unfortunate happened today .. My right hand side mirror got knocked off by a soccer ball :( so now i need new ones..
Im not sure whether to go back to the stock ones or go something different.. I suppose if i found the stock ones cheap ill just do that.. oh well.

Anyways here the damage lol.. i think it looks funny :D

Image

sorry for the dodgey pic to lol

But i just bought a set of M2 runabout mirrors from rev9 so hopefully they should come soon.. Its kinda scary driving with no mirror on the right hand side :(

Great photos, thanks for sharing.
If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

Love that Nardi wheel, can I ask where you got it from? I've seen them on ebay, but don't know of anyone in Brisbane who is selling them.

I love HDR photography. Do you mind sharing which HDR software you used? And were these photos a combination of 3 or 4 pix each?

Great pix.

Hey mate i got this one from richard at mx5 plus. I was lucky to get that when i did..

Im sure if u shoot him an email he will be able to help you out.. but it also depends on what ur after like i know he has wooden ones and i think he has a few leather ones but im not to sure...

Either that or maybe JDMyard can help you out :)
