Thanks Mark. Mate, I don't know about dream car, but I am rather partial to it.

They were the D'Corsa rims mate, and they have been off the car for 14 months now. They were actually removed because of the hundreds of of little chips on the leading edge of each spoke. Another legacy of that eventfull day we both took part in.

Thanks Jason, and I think the FPV replicas are becoming rather abundant. These are an 8.5" rim too, so a 265 on the rear next tyre change might be the go.

Sorry mate. You know I wouldn't have got 'em if I knew you wanted them. :

Kev, love the new wheels mate, can't go wrong with the dish! They really suit the car and make it stand out even more! Well done!

Looks like I'll be following you with changing my wheels very soon...

I saw that Bud. Those Cobra rims will look fantastic on your ride mate. I reckon the 18's personally, but you choose mate. And thanks for the kind remarks Brother.

P.S. What the hell are we doing up at this hour?

Thanx mate, I'm leaning towards 18s as well, considering the car is a a daily and I'm driving a lot.

P.S. The day(or should I say night) has just started for me!

It wouldn't be easy mate, but I like the red. It's a nice contrast.

Nice ride mate, I got barry at BPT to my starter button and its not easy even though I was only watching.

I assume the cooler was silver before like the typhoon, if so why did you want black. Just curious.

The pics earlier in the thread when it's on the dock show a very pronounced cooler, and pushed me to paint it like I always wanted to. Makes the front look cleaner, and stops alot of people peering back as they pass, and flooring it.. LOL

Some more goodies arrived today courtesy of FTG. Replacement side repeaters. It's amazing how these things age, and until you compare them to new one's you don't realise how much. Now I need a tip to remove them, never done these before and I don't want to mark the paint.

Key in, ignition on and push starter. A bit ****y, but it's cool. I look forward to seeing yours at Geelong.

Inspired by this thread and totally bored today, I polished up my auto shift cover and selector plate. Came up mint apart from the gear shift cover having some scratches on it. Have to get another in chrome.









Now what could I polish next??

Can you also start just with the key? (unlike the FPV)
Gorgeous car you have mate.

No mate, it is the real deal. Exactly the same as how the FPV operates. Key in, turn to on and push button.
