i just left safety beach in january and only ever saw one other barina in the time i was there... and it was BLKSRI at Rye boat ramp/pier

Only things i've done so far are VERY subtle due to insurance restrictions:
- Painted Brake callipers red
- Phillips Crystal Vision Headlight Globes (low beam)
- Phillips BLue Vision Headlight Globes (high beam)
- Phillips Crystal Vision Parkers
- White LED Interior Lights
- Tinted Windows (darkest legal)
- 'Holden' Windscreen Decal
Have just ordered a K&N induction kit and getting quotes for a 2 inch cat back exhaust, will be getting that once i've changed my insurance as AAMI don't let you do anything really.

As i tell everybody, get a 2" from the exhaust manifold back, not cat back.
You'll notice the difference doing that instead.
Thats reminds me.... i should let some certain people know about my rims and mods... hehehe

I've still got just over 12 months left under warranty and if I do anything beyond the catalytic converter it'll void my warranty, so i'll just do the cat-back system until i'm no longer under warranty, it's gotta be better than the extremely restrictive stock exhaust! lol

At the moment first on the list is K&N Performance filter kit, exhaust. (Aiming to have this done before the show in April)
Then down the track when I get a bit more cash (Uni students don't have much cash! haha) i'll look at some 16 inch rims not 17's coz of the cost of tyres, then lower it and then hopefully get some SRi sideskirts to finish it off. I want to keep it looking not too overdone.

Just some more images...
