New Grocery Getter - Aussie Motoring Icon

[TJ]

The high end ones of these seem alright value. The rental spec one that I had for a few weeks made me wanna neck myself though.

Not your exact car in that photo on the OP, I take it though? 'Cuz I'm pretty sure that one was taken at my work.

Yeah - says "stock pic because CBF" haha

There is 100000000 for sale (well, not really, the only sold 16000) so plenty to pic in WA.

[Bob Vegana.]

I've not experienced one myself, but I couldn't imagine them being epically shit.

Obviously saved the best til last.

Good pick-up, though.

[TJ]

Many have said it but had they kept the badge off of it, outcome would be much difference.

Couldn't carry the weight of expectations.

I should actually pick it up tomorrow thankfully.

[Sloth]

tj, has yours got nav? off to look at one on sat, ad says nav, but google say no. cosmic grey for us...

[TJ]

No Nav in LT and RS, Calais etc do.

Android Auto works well - assume Apple Carplay does too.

[TJ]

Also - finally got this Friday evening - will need to go directly back as they fucked the tint in the hatch.

Other than that, it really is a lovely appliance. Drives super well.

[mizone]

You still have the Statesman right?

[TJ]

Yup

[TJ]

Hardcore mods begin in earnest. HARDCORE I TELL YOU!



IMHO Looks 10000 times better in black.



Stock chrome was awesome at blinding you while driving - such an oversight by Holden to use it in Aus car.



Makes for a neater rear.

Full detail and ceramic coating next week.

Lowering springs are on back order but no rush.

Now - who can find me the following

BBS LM Style

18 or 19 - 8/8.5 inch wide not fussed
42-45 offset
70.2 bore centre

I think they would look awesome on these.

[monk_13]

Koya do some decent wheel designs, PCD/offset to order, and won't eat into the bank account too much.

Looking at 19x8.5 and 19x9.5 for the Beemer and they're $515 a corner.

Their SF07 is kinda BBS like if you squint hard enough

[BLO 767]

Yeah mate nice colour - agree!

[TJ]

Probably end up with some of Tempe's finest melted Chinese diaper/human remains/coke cans as wheels at this rate.

Surprised with how little choice exists.

[BLO 767]

You know what I rate, and would suit nicely (was going to put some on my i30 recently but too much $$ for a daily, so went Advanti's):
OZ Racing Leggera HLT.

This thing was clearly "detailed" by someone with a scourer and a vendetta.... so was time to sort that today.

Before.....




9 odd hours later...

[mizone]

I've come to the conclusion that the only people in WA who have these are the police detectives and TJ.

I think the stock wheels loom alright TJ. Why not leave it alone and just use it as an everyday hack? Spend you time and efforts on the Stato instead?
