Well today was the day for the VIV & Rego...
...and it all went...

FANTASTIC !!! :D
I don't hate my Ralliart - I love it!!!
But I gotta admit, that Ralliart front bar/splitter sux!
I got the VIV done - no problems. Then had a hour before the rego appointment.
So seeing as the car was all dirty & dusty from not being driven (and water restrictions = no car washing at home), I went to a car wash.
All was fine until I went to leave.
Hmmm :think:, there's two exits. One harsh steep exit (the way I'm supposed to leave) and one that doesn't look too bad (the entry). So I try the easy one. Drive the car on an angle and very slow. Crunch! :shock: the front splitter hits the road! Lucky for me, I was only creeping so reversed with no damage. A bit of forward/reverse/etc. and I got the car onto enough angle for it to be okay. and this wasn't even a harsh driveway entrance!
This car is going to be fun to get used to. lol
Anyway, the car's past the RWC, past the VIV and is now Registered. :dancin:
Yeah!!!

Usually someone would say "I don't like my Ralliart, I love it!" Not the hate road, lol
Good work though :D
Hurry up and sell me those Enkeis :P
lol sweet!
welcome to the world of body kits and really low cars! :)
oh yeah, if you dont mind, the price would be interesting to know, how much you bought it for and how much it was to get it going, well done getting it on the road.

Remove the splitter mate, that's my advice ;).
Glad to hear everything went ok!

Dammit, just when I thought I was gonna offer to take it off your hands too! :rant:
Congrats on getting it on the road and legal to go :D
You think your lowering causes problems, I know people that can't get up the majority of driveways because of the height of their car, to the extent you have to reverse in most places. Thats hell, it'd drive me nuts haha.:bowrofl:
Enjoy the Ralliart, and take care of it! :cool:

Awesome work there mate! Very well done!
Now, you will have more problem of scraping your front w/ or w/out the splitter when you lowered it! But hey, we all do love having that crunch face everytime you here that scrapnig sound! :bowrofl:

Sure the front bar looks better with it, until you hit a driveway and bam the front bar has a crack in it, then we'll see what looks better :P.
This is without lowering, ohh wait til you get it lowered puck, will be your worst nightmare. Living out in the bush doesn't help.

The bush is okay - it's those gutters that I'm afraid of :bowrofl:
Has anyone ever put a Stainless Steel plate on the bottom of the front bar or splitter.
Wouldn't stop the bar from cracking if it got a big hit but would help stop the scratches & paint chips I've seen on other Ralliarts.
As for costs, I'll finish adding it all up and PM those who are interested
Thanks for all your comments guys. It's a dream to drive. :cool:
