vento is looking tops! I see what you mean about teh colours. plates to black and black or clear indicators asap!!!
Cheers buddy . Blue/Black/Smoked is my theme, so the side repeater is going in the bin when I get around to it, will be a smoked one, maybe shave it down the track (i.e. US panels). Will also get tint, maybe side skirts (OEM don't panic) and a seriously OCD clean up. Annoying how low it is yet still seems 4X4, it's at about mobile phone height at the moment, will do the lameo hard-parking thing and dump it for meets.
Maybe one day a picture that isn't from a 35yr old pos iPhone.
finally got those fat fives on! (yeah like I can talk!!) what size tyres? How high are you off the ground from your sump?
Yeah had to get tyres for them first, student-hood slows that down somewhat. Went for Kumho KU31s 205/40/R17, K-Mart bloke told me they wouldn't inflate on a 7.5" wide wheels, stretch is minimal and I've had 205s on 7.5" for around 4 years but I guess they operate in conservative boundaries for their own reasons. Option 1 were cheaper and had good service, and the young fella at the desk was interested in chatting about the wheels, always like places that have a bit of passion about what they do.
Where are you headed Imposter? AKL? If so drop me a pm and will try to get a few of the boys together!
LM specs:
5x100 7.5" wide in 17"
ET 48, but spaced/adapted all round by 15mm
Rear wheel faces have been rear mounted to lips
final ET: FR-33 R22
Chch mostly, thinking of popping up to AKL for a few days in there somewhere (it's my home town after all), depends if a mates in town then or not. I'll keep an eye on VASK and try and make it to something, saw so many nice VWs when I was there last. Will keep in touch if Aucksville is on the cards.

Hehe, reminds me of when I was getting my wheels fitted to my VR. JAX, Bridgestone and Beaurepairs all wouldn't touch it cause I was tryna put 205s on my 9 inch rears, in the end it was Tempe Tyres (who have a bit of a funny reputation...) who did it!
