Do you get a discount if you buy an Audi?

Thanks! It's not too hard just measure 5 times, make a template to test fit with and then cut the real one. Oh and lots of Velcro adhesive dots!

I'm over in Adelaide at the moment for Superloc Targa Adelaide and I've got to say I'm rallying liking this city! We are staying in North Adelaide and you can literally walk out the door to wonderful shops, French patisseries and cafés. It's so cool, there is even late night yiros! It's been great to hang out here and looking forward to getting amongst the hills for an interesting event.
Ben and I spilt the trip over into two days and went via Great Ocean Road, it was pretty awesome aside from the wheels that are currently on the car because someone had too much fun at motorkahna and disintergrated a tyre. Big thanks to the Boaks who helped us out, as always it's really appreciated. :beer:

In other modified news, I have realised a longstanding mx5 dream. I have in my possession, for my up coming birthday, all the way from Nippon with thanks to Rupewrecht and Ben.
My Corns* exhaust.

(Not that anyone cares about this, I'm just excited.)

Having rare items on your car makes it more satisfying I find!

It makes it unique. I'm looking forward to hearing this

Especially used ones and out of production.

Half the fun is the hunt, and the story. Being able to say "I've been looking for one of these for 3 years, I finally found one for sale at some wrecking yard in Japan"

Is the tip painted? or made of brass or something? (Looks orangey through the plastic)

Could be just that brown wrapping paper stuff

Makes sense, probably packing tape etc.

Makes more sense than corn's painting it yellow (Unless they wanted it to look like corn?)

Been hunting this one since Broady made me aware of its existence back in 09.
Could have just bought it off the site, but my inability to read Japanese and the costs involved with importing it on its own have put me off for a while. Until opportunity arose.
