wow! :shock: can NOT believe what a difference just the mirrors made to the car. If I saw that car in the street, would've never guessed it's an exec without going under the bonnet/interior.
How much it cost ya?
$125 + postage, the mirrors are off a TH Magna Sports (white) once owned by a fellow AM Member.
You know who you are - Thanks!
Was a far cheaper and more convenient option then having the original ones painted so I found out. All the quotes I got ranged from $200 upwards. :shock:
Now I have my existing black ones to sell if anyone needs a pair please feel free to PM me as the buyer I had lined up no longer needs/wants them.

Do they have anything else from the car for sale?
There's only one exterior thing left to be done and that's to paint the surround/trim around the edge of the grille - either that or get myself a KJ Verada grille.
I believe all models above the Exec and all TJ Series 2 Magnas have this colour coded and thats exactly what I intend on getting done aswell, after intial quotes it'll be cheaper than getting the KJ Verada grille so i've discovered.
Next, the interior: starting with a KJ Verada style rear seat back with height adjustable head-rests and full interior vinyl retrim in some combination of the following colours: black /grey / white / silver but haven't decided yet.

looks good mate, really makes a difference hey!
All up it looks like i'm going to be well in front, after initially being quoted $280 to get my existing black wing mirrors and grille surround colour coded white I've mangaged to:
1.) Get second hand wing mirrors in the correct colour. $125 + $18 postage.
2.) Get my grille colour coded for $60.00
3.) I now have my black wing mirrors to sell.
It deffinately pays to shop arround and to keep your options aswell as eyes and ears open! :D

:doubt: ths is whaat i be looking at one day, but i wouldnt vinyl the seats leather the seats and do rest in vinyl :D theres a place in perth that braez found, 1800 for all seats in leather pretty cheap!
I was lead to believe that you can't really tell the difference between leather and vinyl apart from the smell, that and that vinyl apparently wears better and should be far cheaper???

You can certainly feel the difference, well I can and trust me the smell makes it all worthwhile.

You guys have got to get friends in the industry. one of my mates is a spraypainter, awesome one at that. has done hot rods and other custom jobs for shows as well as his weekday job.
he did my side skirts,mirrors,door trims, de-badged,wash,buff an polish for $130 plus my car is sable and is a bit of a b*tch to match apparently. all professional job in the booth, non of this backyard stuff. WHAT A CHAMP! :thumbsup:

oh yeh AKKO those mirrors look sweet, its a little wierd but that small band of black at the base of the mirrors makes them look even better! don't ask why :nuts:
$60.00 was mates rates for the grille surround, had previously been quoted as much as $110 just for that part alone! :shock:
