I've been promising Terence to get these pics up for a little while now so here they are.
They went in the car Sunday week ago, just in time for the cruise, well a week before hand. It was alot of "fun" installing them and could not have done it without the help of Nexus. Thanks Mate, your a champ!

I agree about the badge, I didn't remove it though, someone removed it and got half the back one off while I was inside Morley 24hr Fast Eddies. So i ended up taking them off, I want to get the Mitsu badges put back on front and back.

Thanks for the positive feed back fellas, my plans are definatly the grill. I wanna chanse down a KJ grill ,preferably one with the colour coded bottom but at moment, I think if I found one, colour coded or chrome edging I'd take either one. I wasn't in a rush before, I had a very laid back attitude about tracking one down, I figured I'd get one eventually but now I soo want it to go with the paras!
I keep thinking a Ralliart grill would look sexy aswell.
About fog lights, I never wanted them before but now I am thinking about trying to source a pair of those too.
As far as how long it took, started about 10:20am, finished around 2:30/2:45pm I believe with two of us doing it. We cheated though, we didn't quite take off the front bumper. Removed a few bolts here and there so the front bar was only connected to the body at the front of the car and just flexed it that tiny bit with a sheet over the bumper just so we didn't scratch it and got them in without too much effort. Trust me though, after how easy the normal headlights where to remove and that, 2 peice paras are the way to go if you want an easy install.

Have you got your side indicator light fixed yet? lol
Well, it was great experience fixing a one piece parras comppared to my two piece. I wanted the experience as well as giving AMC member a hand.
Things were lot easier if you have the light adaptors that lets you keep the original wiring rather then having to cut them.
One piece looks hot.
Have fun Ivan.

No, still not working, hven't had a chance to have a look, I have worked soo much since and slept soo little...
Its the original globe and wiring so it doesn't have anything to do with the para, I'm hoping that we bumped the globe too hard or something and it broke or the wiring is just not connected properly. Will probably get a chance to look at it Thursday.
The adaptors are magic and if I ever go to remove the paras (if i was to sell the car done the track) its and easy removal and replacement with the stock lights.
Again Nexus, thanks for your help mate!
