the kit will look great. as far as the rims go though, i dont think the black suits the car in the slightest. on an xr, it could work, but a while chrome-y fairmont, needs bright wheels some silver wheels would set it off beautifully. Your car though, so enjoy.

Hey Matt,

Haven't fitted in up fully yet still waiting on brackets so when I put it on I'll let you, as to it lining up properly it seemed to be fine but until I do it properly I won't know.

Thanks for the comments mate, it doesn't look to bad in the flesh but thats my opinion but it needs to be lowered a bit more so hopefully it will look better after that.

Don't have photos of the front yet as stated in a previous post I'm still waiting for the brackets and driving lights before I fit it up properly. As for the wheels they are a matt finish with a little gloss finish to it.

Regards John

I quite like the blue mesh, it works on white The only thing I'd do is search for a series 2 or 3 chrome boot garnish like on this car:

Nice car mate.

I saw you in Braeside this week. You need to bend/lip those front guards up a bit - so common on lowered AUs.
