I think it works on the black car. Normally I don't like 'em

The voting is going well :lol:

. Anyway my rollbar is in. It took a bit of lateral thinking due to it being custom with no instructions but I'm happy with it.

And once again my daughter is giving me a hand. I have high hopes for her

UPDATE TIME!!!!

So I ordered some custom gauge faces from revlimiter a little while ago and finally got them in. Adam is a really good guy to deal with, he kept me updated thoughout the process and he got them to me in incredible time considering these are customised. Cheap compared to AWD as well.

There a slight issues with the install due to the Aussie cluster being different to the US. Instructions call for the check engine light in the speedometer to be moved to one corner and the high beam indicator to be moved to the other corner. On my 01 model I have no check engine light so that's good and the corner spot is taken by a security light. On the tachometer face I have the ABS light as well as the high beam light. The corner spot has no wiring running to it in order to swap either light. I ended up leaving both lights where they are and hoping the difference in light colour will warn me of high beams or ABS failure. Apart from that the install was easy, the instructions clear, and the parts are high quality. Enjoy the pics.

Before

After

And in true revlimiter style. He sent me these with my order to protect the needle stops.

Took this picture of my car today when it was outside. I love how aggressive it's beginning to look.

More updates soon as some more bits have arrived.

Your car looks fantastic, love the aggressive look, and IMO only the black can pull this off. I've seen other NB's try it, and it's just not the same.

Well done, keep up the good work!

meanmx is always topless :shock:

, unless it rains (or if he has left his beanie at home or something).
love the updates, buddy. looking forward to the decal/stripes in the future :BROADY:

Thanks guys. Shuey is correct, the only time my roof is up is if it is raining. Not even a lack of beanie will stop me. I like the hardtop look but it's a convertible. The badge will be painted soon.
