3 guess as to what it is inside it!

1) Air

and you can't tell me I'm wrong with this one unless that box is vacuum sealed.

Stuart@BMRAutowerkes · 10-25-2011, 01:46 AM

PE

oh and on SBC's theory... some sort of bubble wrap?

the box was freaking heavy and I was wondering what they use as padding.

It seems they used shredded cardboard boxes for padding.

Sigh i want to put my PE on now but still waiting for my downpipe to come in - stuck at Singapore Airport apparently there is a massive back log of goods coming in to Perth (with TNT).

Here is hoping it will get on a flight tonight and arrive tomorrow and installed on Thursday before the long weekend!

*edit* just got an update from TNT tracking site!

25 Oct 2011 12:57:46 Perth Shipment Released From Customs Following Inspection.

Going to be a great long weekend

- might take the queen for a ride in my car

RaihaX · 10-25-2011, 02:56 AM

sweet you will love the LUX - our car looks so much better with white angel eyes!

how much was the LCI tail light anyway?

RaihaX · 10-25-2011, 03:05 AM

another item added to my mod list

RaihaX · 10-25-2011, 03:39 AM

I think I read somewhere 2008 was plug and play. Will have to double check when the time comes I suppose.

dtcoff · 10-25-2011, 04:16 AM

2 x MPSS (fronts) arrived from Tirerack yesterday. Only ordered on Thursday. No sign of the rears yet, and Fedex tracking site now shows 'Clearance delay'. WTF does this mean?

Honny · 10-25-2011, 04:29 AM

**Note to myself** - stay away from Rey, his car and threads to avoid passive spending.

Jking- can't wait to see those toys fitted!

I'm keen to see how white lights so on a red car.... I still think OEM yellow is the only thing that works.

Haha, someone chip my door (small), so I tried using a bit of touch paint, major fail is more visible now

gazz · 10-25-2011, 06:06 AM

Queens here over the weekends, Avoid CBD. Sorry about the chip mate, from what I hear don't use touchup paint unless you know what you're doing.

Yeah was a stupid comment about the queen coming here.

Lesson learnt about the touch up paint!

Harlequin · 10-25-2011, 10:22 AM

Noice. congrats dude...

I just ordered some LCI Tail lights to make myself feel better after a crappy day...

Will hopefully pull the trigger on the PE next week... Just waiting until after the move... There's always those pesky unexpected "hidden costs"...

I used some Dr ColourChip touch up paint to cover a chip on my rear quarter panel - can't even really tell its there now . . . cleaned up a fair few on my front bumper too. No complaints here . . .

My great day went to crap yesterday after a cop pulled me over for doing 80km in a 60km zone (I thought it was still 80 but somewhere along the line it went down to 60km).

The guy didn't give me a fine on the spot and will mail it to me.

What pissed me off was the fact that 2 second after driving off the road went back to 80km

not happy!

Hmmm was reading up on it seems i should have used a toothpick or a very very fine toothbrush.

I tried using as little paint as possible with the brush that it came with but it was still fail.

Oh well.

Harlequin · 10-25-2011, 07:34 PM

A few months back I got done for 78 in a 60 zone - 10 metres before the 80 sign...
