Looks very nice Napalm, I have 2 questions though, how did ya get the Blue Dials and what did you use to get the Alpine Head Unit in, did you import a replacement part for the dash where the stock stereo goes?

well me and my mate pulled out my dash and resoldered blue surface mount LED's in the dash (bought from EBAY for $29) and as for the Facia the guys from JB HIFI had a lot of trouble finding a fitting facia but found one through stinger for a focus...

Love the blue dials. Rims look nice too - they look like Panther Vectors.

Dead right, Its the design of the wheel that is the problem as well. The spokes stop about an inch into the rim, and then theres the outer lip.

If the spokes went all the way to the outer edge of the rim like mine, or like the MP3 rims, then it gives the effect of a bigger wheel.

That was the main reason behind my choice as well.

Not too sure, but I took a photo of my LX and Pie's Zetec nose-to-nose, and his is noticeably lower (although a bit of the height difference is because he has 15"s and I have 16"s.
