well anyways im always thinking of ways to make my magna different to the others out there with minimal possible cash, so about 6 months ago i painted my front grill completely Black and it looks cool as i retained the red tridiamond logo. anyway today i did the back boot garnish in black and it looks very nice , ill post some photo's tomorrow.
Also the other day i saw that someone had copied or just plain thought of the same idea as me *caugh* and did the same foglight setup as me , maybe a reader of aussiemagna forums ?

Dude - wasnt me - foglights give me the shits - ppl should only use them in fog - otherwise they are brighter then low beam and piss oncoming drivers off!! mind you the little green dots in my window washer jets apparently piss ppl off as well - oh well - all for themselves i spose.
Anyways - the black on white is a nice contrast and wouldn't work for my pewter car!!
looks great on yours though!!

A mate in our car club has done what you've done widow (sorry i know it doesn't make you feel any better) I think everyone did it coz of that japanese D that had done it

Now that looks sick.
As for foglights, the are cool if they are stock, if not i reckon they are dodgey. Id rather use the foglight openings for some cold air induction. now THAT serves a purpose!

japanese D ?
hehe fog light ports for cold air induction , i was working on doing somthing like that awhile ago but after some thought, just think about it the tube has to go from the bottom bar upto the top of the engine taking a long windy path that leed's it strait past the radiator and engine block. Where is the stock intake ? a strait tube connecting the front of the airdam strait to the filter box which is made of semi heat resistant plastic.

I didnt actually put fog lights on my setup they are 55watt driving lights , but year i hate those people in cars with foglights and they use them to drive around even in good weather and day time, and them falcodors with the really bright foglights down the bottom i mean whats it matter in a falcodor if you hit somthing you will kill it and keep going in that tank of a falcodore

On my old TS wagon i had foggies...used to use em abit at nite...but one nite got pulled into a defect station and got fined for useing them...bout $80...
A while ago a mate got pulled over for useing his standard foggies got a warning and that was that...
I am laways seeing people with foggies on...specially new commie utes..really shits me 2 tears...not just annoying to see but its supposed to 'illegal for day use'....
****n bull shit it is! wish i drive the same car as cops do so i could do what ever...
(im not in a good mood!)

the other thing similar which pisses me off - is subaru - in all of (well most of) there cars they have the double headlight set up - two headlights - normal place and two more below in the bumper - which is illegal as the do not comply to ADR drive regs - you are only allowed to have one set of drive lights (low beam) and if there is more then one set they are classed as spot lights - and then if they are on - you get busted as oncoming drivers cant see - but because they are built in so many people dont get busted for it!!!
oh well - shit happens - i just wish the bastards would leave me alone!!
even when i am not in my car they still pull me over - mongrels - got pulled over in a work car today for RBT??? WTF??? i work for a mining co - if i have alcohol in my system i lose my job let alone get done for DD - it was 1pm - WTF are they doin at this time of day??
