More of a personal note then anything, but ideal rims... BBoss Elaenor or BBoss Maddison. Love the simple flat design... Looks heaps good on G220's I've seen...

Also, bought a growler for $100. Pick it up tomorrow afternoon after work... Then maybe get a big mouth kit off eBay in the coming weeks. Nice little induction upgrade. Hopefully get some sort of induction sound off it lol

You'll love the sound of the growler by itself.

Just picked up the Growler intake. I already knew that it was trimmed (to suit the intercooler piping from the car it came off), but now im thinking of ways i can patch it back up. i was thinking of trimming it back further till i get a neat shape (straight lines etc), then patching it up with some DIY fibre glassing. but i know very little about fibre glassing, so was hoping someone could help me out or suggest a better idea...

Zip ties are good as they're nice and long.

Fit it the way it is and go for a drive to hear what it sounds like. You'll also feel a little bit more throttle response off the bat.

Get used to not hearing it once that exhaust goes on haha unless you get something quieter, like I did before the BA had a mating session with that tree lol I'm oh so tempted to get this parts BA on the road, but will cost at least $3,000 due to the gearbox being shagged... Although I have the T5 kit at home, but would still need a tune to make it work.

Got some crazy marking on my new 20's (along with dents and a crack which I need to look into more), my question is... I have some autosol aluminum polish that I used to use on the sports bars of the ute, would that do the job?

As far as the gutter rash/dents and crack go...
Taking tyres off so I can hammer out the dents with a soft mallet, then file/sand/polish out the lip. The crack will be drilled to prevent further travel, then tig welded on the inside to seal it up... Then I should have new rims :)

Just as a note the wheels are CSA Vanquish black 20", not entirely sure of the rest of the details though... Still trying to figure out the range of tyres that will fit on them at the moment. The rears are barely legal... So need to find that out very soon..
