Sorry the post is a bit old...lol

The 19" rims will not be an issue. In the ACT and here in QLD, you can change your wheel size above the two inches allowed; however, must not change the overall aspect of the wheel. There is some formula the RTA/D.o.T uses that as long as the overall dimensions remain the same - you are good to go. For instance, I have 17's on my EBXR8. As they came out with 15's I am good to go. However if I then put say 235/40/17's on it instead of the required 235/45/17's, my tyre would be in fact undersized as the aspect ratio will alter the overall size of the wheel. I could be pinged by Plod and his minions for having altered wheels.

Dont sweat the dissenters on here - they have small pee-pees and all that matters is you enjoy your vehicle - not them!

Good work - keep it up


Nah that's alright, I'm over that kind of stuff anyways.

So many law's, cant do s**t any more or go anywhere with out getting a defect.

Thanks mate, so far so good I'm happy with what I've done so far :)

This is a fantastic looking car man! It's coming along so well. I've been hanging out for the pictures of her when the spraying was done and it looks fantastic! Very very clean looking car. Great work! :)

Man I was thinking of even cutting another coil out of the ultra lows. I don't hit any gutters or anything.

Okay guys, for a long time I've wanted to re trim the interior. I want that stock sporty with a bit of class factory look so I was thinking of the following:

- EL Fairmont Ghia door trims
Front: Bottom half for courtesy light
Rear: Whole door trim (no wood grain) This means the rear windows will be converted to electric.
- New carpet including on the door trims.
- Door trim material in grey leather what will be crinkled or what ever you want to call it.
- Standard seats re trimmed in leather.
- Custom Tickford floor mats off eBay.

Feel free to suggest anything :)

In the next week I will be calling the following for quotes:

- C & N trimming in Sunshine
- Autoimage in Thomastown

Any other trimmers recommended?

it's not hard to come across good quality factory leather for it out of ghia's, although it took me a few months and a couple sets, i'm 90% happy with mine, only let down being wear on the drivers seat, although all stitiching is good, no stretches, no rubbing/wear, no tears and no fade. just have to watch ebay, or if you're keen, i have some fairlane leather for the rear, just needs modification to fit, and were too good for me to want to attempt to pull apart and risk stuffing.
i want the same style door trims that you've described, but at the moment, i want anything but the crap velour i've got. plus i've got woodgrain which i'm currently sanding and re varnishing, when i can be stuffed, lol.
ebay have decent carpet deals from a mob in melbourne which are only about $175 to purchase.
if you do ring the trimmers, mind asking how much rooflining cost to be re furbished for a roof with a sunroof? lol. i destroyed mine :oops:
sounds tasteful though.

I know what you mean but I really want that style of door trim, I reckon it looks great! I cbf mix and matching plus I want to keep the XR seats at the front rather than fairmont ones. I'm not a fan of the wood grain, if it were an GLi or fairmont then yes but not on the XR. No worries man I'll PM you when I get a price :)
