ha ha, it aint

I hope to keep it on there they can mod the rear skirt to fit the towbar is handy...

Here is the wing sitting on there I think it looks sweet

you should shave the rear fog light while your there

I should as it doesnt work anyway.

The wing looks heaps good, I wish there were similar tail-lights available for the X3.

Spoiler(wing) rear skirt and front skirt are at the paintshop got quote this morning, hopefully next friday I'll get the front and rear skirt trial fitted and they are painting them the following week so hopefully I'll have them on the 26th march, so all up with buying the kit off Jezza, it cost $1750 supplied and painted/fitted which i think isnt to bad with a wing on there too

does that include them making the rear skirt fit over the towball, where are you getting this done

ben

Thats everything, modding to make the front lip fit good, fit wing and modding the rear skirt to fit round the towbar tongue they said will be easy. Should only be a small cut out they said and its under the bottom anyway so it wont be seen unless someone pokes there head under there.. Im getting it done at weston smash repairs they done the last work on my car and I was very impressed with the job they done, I also live two streets away so I can drop it off and walk home lol... it might be a week later now as I have to work next friday.. and I havent got enough notice to them to get it done on monday on my day off. I have to get an exhaust bracket fixed I'll get that done on monday instead hopefully. My shifts with work are all over the place at the moment so it should be sorted soon I hope.

Thought I would try myself at meshing my grill and front bar after helping out medic the other week I think I have half an idea now... I think it came up pretty good I got some screws in on the grill, the bottom of the bar I used the two wholes where the bar clips on to the metal support, the bottom good old cable ties came out mesh is nice and firm I think it looks better...

Before (sorry could only find this picture with me trial fitting the front lip you get the idea)



After

looks good

Cheers medic will be better when the kit goes on now

now all you need are some black diamond headlights, The chrome trim inside the head light is painted black while leaving the reflector chrome.

mmm do they make those headlights somewhere??

i think you can buy them from the states but they don't have parking lights over there so it may not be legal to use them here.
Just need to heat up your set (or a wreckers set) pry them apart, and paint the chrome trim inside them.

I have seen one car that has had it done I think they painted the insides... it looks like monaro lights

tom (wheels of steel)has got it done....

bound to be a pic here somewhere....

will post up a photo when i get home. i think i actually got the DIY off here? perhaps it was off HP or similar. but yes its quite easy, easier than i thought. i can't remember exactly the temp i used but i believe it was around 130ish... just go one at a time into the oven, pry it apart (BE CAREFUL WITH THAT FARKING GREY GLUE, IT GETS EVERYWHERE AND IS IMPOSSIBLE TO REMOVE) then take your frames out, i believe there are 3 screws holding the frames to the case. sand back where you want black, mask up where you dont, plastic primer, then a few light coats of black plastic paint. allow to dry, put back together, back in the oven to get glue ductile again, put them back together. run a little bit of selley's around the edges so you don't get water in the headlights.

its quite easy and there are massed DIYs across the internet. just make sure you dont get farenheit and celcius mixed up with the american DIYs

Thanks I might have a look for a diy

here you go man. double check on the DIY section here. im sure i got it off here. its actually a link to an american site but whatever.

I might take a look at those headlights after the kit finally goes on... the remainder of kit is to be trial fitted monday and painted with the wing and fitted friday

Just a note for people that have whiteline sway bars fitted keep an eye on the links on the ends... because of the such sharp ends on them the links are quite tight and have a totally different angle than stock bars well on my LC it did anyway, and I actually snapped the link on the left hand side.

How did you snap it?
Did you notice when it happened?
And yeah i remember it being a little difficult to get both of them in when i installed it.

I hit a large pot hole as I was going round a sweeping corner made a bang noise and it was rattling basically the link was rattling on itself and the sway bar was touching the strut every now and then... took me 3 weeks to work out what it was I actually thought it was the exhaust rattling as I snapped a mount around the same time. So made phone call this morning to Ian from Hyspares all sorted and there on the way.. Set of rear links 72 posted to my door

Well kit is on the car now... very happy with it...




Pics are a bit crappy I couldn't be bothered getting my camera

Here is also the broken sway bar link from the left rear on my car I think they have a weak spot on them they dont look to strong..

Dude!! I love it. I've always been a fan of that kit for the LC1's. Plus I love the colour of your car. Nice

Thanks Bozza I do love that kit I wish I could have got the T2 grill too but I may have found one in the U.S so maybe it will have one soon...
Heres some better pics..

I dont see the tow ball there adam.
Decided against it or does it slip in under the rear skirt (lol)

It just misses out they cut around the bottom edge... I have scored a 2nd hand tongue gonna see if it fits and clean it up and paint it... Im not going to leabe it on all the time just when I need it
