Very nice, is that a 215/55 tyre? just wondering why you didnt go 45 or 225/45

I always said pics dont do justice to Kappa rims but you've just proven me wrong :)

Nice wheels and tyres. Yes you will need more shots

Looking at that first picture, i think there seems to be some tyre marks on the ground...It's a matter of do as i do.

Looks sweet mate. It's a double win. Good looking wheels, plus great grip.

Agree, very good grip with those tyres!

i swear those tyre marks were there when i got there... honest! i wouldnt be skidding on the adrenalins anyway.... too much grip :P

thanks for all the comments, i've just been out driving all night, loving the grip in the wet! only time i got wheel skid was coming out from an intersection which had wet sand thrown onto it from the rain we got today, other than that, these tyres grip!! very very happy with my choice, both with wheel size/design and tyres...

juvenile - i did want to go for 225/50 but there was a massive price difference and i dont think i would of felt the difference (apart from financially) for the way i drive.. :P

Daryl, dont they make the re001's in your size? i hear you been spending crazy money on tyres recently :S

U54mot - thanks for your kind words, and also for all your advice thru my PM's regarding tyre size and selection :) you car was one of the main reasons i decided to go for the Kappa's (along with Daryl's)

hrmmm yeah i still am a bit undecided about those for now... i kinda like the slimline look of the car at the moment... will see how it looks once the other mods are on. hopefully by the end of this week!! :)

thanks for all your comments guys!

Lee - when you getting your baby back? bet you must miss it.. :(

Awesome awesome awesome, love it man. Where did you get the grill from? How are the quality on these after markets? I'm really considering putting this on my car but if I dislike it it's going to be a waste of money.

thanks mate :) i got the grill from the group buy... whicch sourced them from r style racing in thailand.

quality wise i was very suprised... the chrome grill feels really solid and has no visible defects... it acctually feels more solid than the original aurion sportivo grill i had on there previously!

id highly recommend it, im loving the look of the cars front now... love pulling up behind someone with a shiney paint panel at the lights now :P

thanks for the comments, will have the ducktail fitted after i get back from os, along with some more mods i have lined up! *evil grin*

Haha, oh okay fair enough. Shes one clean ride for a daily.

Exterior is lacking in cleanliness as the weather in Melbourne is horrible during this time of year. Raining is on off constantly and the outside gets dirty too quick so I do not bother AS much. But will give it a clean if she needs it rain or no rain!

BUT, I did clean the inside today, I love the inside being clean. It must be immaculate like you keep your paint job :P.

Mods, on low funding its a bit hard to do anything to her(Already spent hundreds/thousands on my new phone, GPS and bluant). The main, very main thing I want to do is put in a system(Amp, sub like my old car, damn I miss that system, had built everything from scratch including the parcel shelf) with the LCD head unit.

So in the mean time its stalled completely for now.

Good luck with yours man :)

Edit: Should ask, where is this group buy, and how much was it?

Looking real good Davo.

Why did you have to post up pics of your grill? I haven't picked mine up from Vick yet because I am in the process of buying a house and if I rock up with it on then my wife will surely murder me for (what she considers) wasting money.

Well done mate!
