Smile Cranners now complete

Ive now crossed off everything on my mod list, a list i started late last year. My main goals were as follows,

* Exhaust system
* Stezza
* Lowered
* Rims
* Tints
* CRANRS plates

The last mod that i completed was the 17" BA XR8 rims which i got the day of the last Melbourne cruise, Just took some photos the other night just before sunset. There is some stocko photo's there too!

The one other mod id really like is a XR bodykit which im aiming to get late this year. And i might get superlows, peer preasure from Pat ing_sm

Now its time to save for that XR6T for when im off my P's 21 :sm_headba

Thanks for everyones help and advice in creating my dream :-)

Paul

Congrats! Glad to hear it! My list is a very long one, which will take half a lifetime the way things are going at the moment... Ahh well another one will be crossed off soon enough!

Nice pics by the way, the light in frontal shot is fantastic, well done!

looks suprisingly good for the minimal external mods you've done.

you really have one nicely preserved EL. some clear repeaters would really set it off i reckon.

Yeah i agree with you about the stockies, ive still got them under the house so they can go back on any time. I had the chance to get these rims for a great price so i couldn't turn them down.

Stockies are in sleeping lol

Yeah the lowering issue is wierd, when i first got the lows it sat really nice and as time went on its getting higher i recken. Im happy with the ride height cause with people in it its still drive-able. Sits like supers with 5 ppl :-)
