Default Black Cerato (for us Aussies!)

Hi folks, this is my '10 manual Cerato Koup hailing from Sydney, Aus. I've only done the standard stuff to it that a lot of people seem to do;
-35% tint
-red calipers
-removed wheel inserts
-red grille pinstriping
-LED headlight strip
-badges

In the next few weeks I want to finish putting in my footwell lighting, and order some H1 projectors to retrofit (if I can get the balls to install them; I'm still pretty sure I have a greater chance of failure if I try)

Kool! looking good. Would you know how many Aussies are members here? I have contacted Whiteline Suspension, but sadly they say only I have contacted them.

Hey, I'm from the North Shore.. and yeah I did the lights, real easy for someone with no prior experience with these kinds of things. I just put in the interior footwell lighting too which was a little more complicated, but still easy enough

Iv well and truly been bitten by the bug, so far I have added a set of 18" Motegi racing mr116's, lowered, painted calipers and added brembo decals , dark tint, kenwood DVD , red pinstripes on grill and a magnaflow 12865 muffler, also red k badging! Not sure what's next, thinking maybe the head and tail lights? I'll take some pics soon and post them cheers guys

Im very keen on cai aswell but where to get it from is the question? If u track one down I'm in!!! Must admit of all mods iv done thus far the magnaflow muffler is the best !!! Car sounds amazing! And feels better to drive, I don't know if it's just in my head because sounds so good but i don't feel the lag between 1st & 2nd anymore!
