Talking My new AU2 XR8
Well I decided to purchase another XR8, to have it as a daily and my AU3 for a weekender :hihi:


lol ok nah, this AU2 is my brother's (TRIK67) new ride.
It's got sunroof, bodykit, premium sound, leather trim, momo wheel and knob.
It has a nice sounding 2.5" cat back exhaust, lowered on king springs.
It did originally have the TE50 rims, but he put on some 20" FPV wheels yesterday.

When first bought


and today


He's planning on cleaning it up a little, so some more better pics to come.


If anyone is interested in the TE50 rims, they're for sale here

Looks good mate, If you are going to do paint work get the mirrors sprayed too, I agree it will look great with darker tint too.

I have SSL's in my Series 3 and it is about that low. Make sure the front guards are rolled now you have the 20's on it or you will scrub the guard and bend the lip out not nice.

They actually don't scrub at all, only thing that hits things now & then are the pods but the 20's have raised the front abit higher now so it's not as bad.

I love the AU series 1 body kit from the mid backward's but I prefer the AU II/III front end, if that makes sence.
