Paul congrats on the new rig.
How long/how many D3's did you look at before settling on this one? Was it at a dealer or private?
If you can stretch the budget go the drifta setup they are a very nice piece of kit. Your mod list's sounds good.
Will be good to see a photo of the rhino platform once fitted
Mines a 2005 and its a Zambezi silver Paul.
Congrats on the purchase. ;)
Love your choice of car and the year:D How many KM on yours?
Think about a reversing camera Paul? I have one plugged into a VMS nav unit but not nearly as good as the integrated one on another car I have. I have a good Camera it is just the switch when I put the car into reverse which is a bit slow.
I put leather on my front seats. Auto trimmer did it for me for a price. Don't think many people will be keen on a swap back to cloth. With more D3--D4 wreaking now keep an eye out.
Paul, do you see anything like this under the bonnet?Quote:

Thanks Rob, it is an SE with a single CD unit. A double conversion will be down the track a bit. I'm going to wait until Android Auto becomes more common and a bit cheaper! Do you have a thread on your modifications?Quote:

Thank you! I think mine is Zambezi as well, just can't confirm it in any way!Quote:

Thank you for the links! I have checked both those areas and can't find a paint code anywhere! I will have a good look tomorrow again and see how I go!
I am also considering a bullbar but still undecided. The car looks fantastic with the tint. I am loving the car. Averaging 12.7L/100 on my daily commute so just experimenting to get that down a bit more.
