I like your ride matey, very nice indeed. I have an AU I XR6 and they sure look good these beasts. Don't know about the bonnet vents but I think they could grow on me

Nice car!
As for the vents, they don't look that odd. Like the earlier poster commented, it might be the position of them. I hope the car gives you years of awesome service. And hey, it's an AU, you'll most likely get it. LOL! GK

The car looks great mate!! Always loved the AU 2/3 XR8s and IMO that is one of the best colours on it. They are so affordable now aswell, would love a red manual 220 next to the BA in the garage

the bridge is located in Mildura, North west of victora, so most likley to far for a photo shoot for melbourne people.
The pin strip is actualy clear with a grey/silver background. Im fairly certain its from the factory.

What a great looking car. Azzuros suit the XR's better than the T series I reckon. I like the vents too.
