Yeah it's amazing how crap the colour looks when your car is all dirty. Mine's due for a wash again.

On that topic I'm actually happy that I've found a car related activity my g/f is actually happy to do. Strangely enough she enjoys going to Carlovers. I shouldn't complain.

LOL, my awesome silhouette XR8 S3 hasn't been washed for 3 months due to the water restrictions. Concerned about scratching the duco in a recycled water car wash. She used to look like that!

Good to see care and respect for one's pride and joy. Nice neat and tidy example you have there.

My personal preference for the XR6 is single tip, but if you do go twins I'd suggest you have them staggered to follow the lines of your rear bar.

its not quite on the coast but i got a few good pics up tamborine at sunset of my car a while back brent. If i knew were they were id put them up. even down at coolongatta you can park up on the point there and get some photos with the surf in the background. just a few suggestions

When i get my wheels brent we'll have to get both cars together and XR8220au's car he's from the coast and get some shots of all three. Correct me if im wrong Xr8220au but yours is the dark blue isnt it? which is a very rare colour in the 220's
