[ChrisE2490]

Hey guys. Just purchased my Aurion Sportivo SX6 (white) about 3 weeks back now and I thought id create a thread to track its progress. The car is stock at the moment but I have an extensive wishlist of mods J.

Mod Wishlist:

• Sound System (Clarion Nx501a headunit, fusion speakers and amp. Being installed this week)
  
• 20% Window Tint
  
• K&N Typhoon Intake
  
• 19” Wheels (thinking of going a lexus style rim gunmetal) (http://www.ebay.com....2#ht_8101wt_962)
  
• Change all practical lights to white LED’s (boot, festoon, door etc)
  
• Angel eye headlights from Mars Performance
  
• HID Kits on the headlights and fogs (6000k)
  
• Vinyl Wrapping the interior (carbon fibre or gloss black)
  
• New Sports Grill with double meshing
  
• Bonnet protector painted black
  

Unsure Mods

• Lowering
  
• Cat Back exhaust with varex mufflers
  

Any questions, advise or just plain comments are welcome.

Love the colour!!!

Couple of the guys here will be adding Mars lights soon keep an eye out. Hope to see you next month if you can make the sydney meet.

[ChrisE2490]

Haha same to you mate. Yeah i will keep an eye out for the others putting in the lights. Would love to come to the next sydney meet. Hopefully i will have some more to show than just a stock car by then :)

Got my new sports grill last week and so I've just sent that off to the painters to get colour matched. Can't wait to get it installed.

Also got my bonnet protector last week. Took it to a local signwriter and they have just finished wrapping it in a black vinyl with AURION printed across the front. Not sure if i like the look yet will be able to tell more once its installed.

[ChrisE2490]

Went looking at wheels last week and I've narrowed down to two

This one which is a 19" aftermarket lexus wheel in gunmetal grey

Or this one which is a 20" Lenso rim in shadow chrome

I would appreciate any input. I'm having a hard time deciding between the two.

19" Lexus looks good

cars looking nice and shiny. the rims ehhh i like the 20" lenso

[juvenile]

I've been eyeing off the Lexus 19"s as well, just quietly

They'd be my pick, they have a great finish..

Yeah I'm starting to lean towards the Lexus ones.

Luke I remember you showing me those rims maybe that's why I liked them because they look great on that aurion.

I got prices on a package for both of them. The Lexus ones are $1600 (and they'll put Toyota badges on the wheels) and the lensos are $2000. So that makes me lean more towards the Lexus rims aswell.

[ChrisE2490]

So i put my front end together today. Both the new grill and the painted bonnet protector. Took some photos with and without the bonnet protector because I'm not totally sold on it. Need everyones opinions please.

Thanks in advance for the help

[Noodlez]

i say it looks better without.

[EC11WA]

I actually like the look of both:)

[jeffy]

imo - with - looks more aggressive - its like a pouting unibrow :P

[MyATX]

I would say without, its a very clean and sleek look.

[VF-X]

Look-wise,Definitely without.. Unless it's installed there to serve its purpose.

+ It wouldnt go together with the Lex rims IMO.

[Pah]

+1 on the unibrow

[ChrisE2490]

Lol I totally see the uni brow thing. Friends of mine actually pointed out the same thing when I put it on. Im still undecided. Might wait for the rims to go on and then make a proper decision. Some people have said that it needs a badge of some kind on the front. Thoughts???

[MrRob]

Haha reminds me of Agro. I like it.

[ChrisE2490]

Haha reminds me of Agro. I like it.

As in the muppet??? Lol

Just purchased a used set of pedders low springs on eBay for $91. Can't wait to get them installed. Looks like I'll be riding low before I even get my new rims :)
