what a beaut

you must have the lowest millage G5 in SA :clapper:

the condition of them that are out there actually make me sad. People are buying them, but are not, or can not afford to maintain them and keep them mint.

All the best, and please keep that beaut as Oem as Possible :praise:

Did some decals last Sunday to try separate my car from others for a bit.
Did some red pin striping on the bonnet and bumper
And added griffins from my coat of arms onto the C-Pillars.
Some pictures accompanied by a Mini JCW with an exhaust that has inspired me to try do valvetronic on my chorr

So An Update For The Car.
Still waiting for the xenon adapters from VagTec before I can fit xenons.
I activated the fogs as cornering lights on my car as well as turning them to face a bit more to the side a bit more reach.

Then a few days ago bought a Flowtech DP and got it fitted at FR&R, Phoned around on the day I wanted to get it fitted to see who could help me on the day, and got some pretty shocking customer service from a few other places, but Leon at FR&R helped me out and got me sorted later that same day with some excellent service!!! Except my car felt like a baby in that shop with all those beasts around XD

Some Pics While the car cools:

Update Time:
So the local company that I have been waiting forever to get back to me on my adapters let me down, so I ordered a set off of eBay that are already in the country, just waiting for JIMC to get a move on :p so almost here for the thing everyone is waiting for XD
But in the mean time decided to tint the back lights slightly and to add some mud flaps:

Another Mini Update While Adapters are "Held At Customs"
So I decided I wanted to add bronze to my car, over the gryphon on the C-Pillar to get that embossed look:

Some Pics and One video for colour effect:

Hi Guys,
So finally the adapters arrived and I fitted the Xenons XD XD
For now I haven't run the 11-pin to the CECM yet for Xenon shutters but will get there. So I don't have "Bi-xenons" yet...
