Great looking pics of the car XLR8, and I'm sure you're enjoying every bit of it. The AU's definitely handle better than the EF/EL's, alot stiffer in the body and the 17's help of course.
I'm sure you'll let us know how the brakes are once they're bedded in, hope to hear good stuff as I'm contemplating doing the same thing for my Ghia, of which I still haven't put any pictures of here yet...sorry fellas.

I like

I noticed Xr8 badges in places there shouldn't be. What are they ?

The stereo being a single din unit, is that your choice and if so what brand model is it?

I was also wondering of the possibility of buying an alarm system through you via your friend. Any chance. I have a few options and are just checking a few out!

Ok.....

XR8 and Tickford Badges are extra i put on
1) XR8 on glove box
2)Sml Tickford wings (from wheel centre) on ashtray
3) XR8 on airbox
4)Tickford wings on boot opposite XR8

Did u spot the extra wings in the engine bay?????

Stereo is an Alpine CDA7852
I have also upgraded factory speakers all round to Boston splits in front. Did you notice AU2 premium a pillar covers with speaker grill???
Boston 7x5 in rears all running of Kicker IX405D Amp

Should be able to organise alarm no problem......
there is a website with full features of alarm, will post it when i find it!!!!

Budget has taken a real hit lately so It won't be much.
Would like to do something with the interior an alarm/dead switch. and then start on the motor.

If you are getting rid of your series one wheel I believe there are at least a couple on this board that might be interested.
