Now you can put some LED running lights in the new outer openings to bling it up a bit. :D


was going to look at that option :D they are good openings for an oil cooler


Ummmm so why do you need an oil cooler?
Or did you mean intercooler :twisted:

Not to invade your thread unnecessarily, but providing feedback on my last comment, Dennis & Mick did a smick job on the old lady's IX35, matching the silver well (they blended/feathered the paint to the edges so it would match/blend well on adjoining panels). They also made the insurance company come to the party in terms of negotiating repair costs, as opposed to doing the 'cheap route' as they do with their 'recommended' repairers. I intentionally chose Hume over NRMA's recommended repairer based on the feedback on here. NRMA tried to make them budge, but Dennis/Mick stood their ground and said what they wanted to do for quality work and made the insurance company come to the table. They won't compromise cost for quality of workmanship. Their service, customer service and personalities are second to none.

Anyone who is thinking of getting paint work or panel work done, see Hume Smash Repairs. Keep the independent guys in business so you keep getting quality work for a competitive price over the insurance dominated workshops!

That would have to be out near Oberon somewhere, the branch line for that level crossing has been closed for yonks so you didn't really need to stop! :wink:

Ahhhh...... Another derelict railway line..... Although I think they might actually be in danger of regaining their accreditation to run steam trains along that bit of track.....
So that means you came home along the Bells Line of Road?.. Nice bit of tarmac that! :wink:
