Got that mag and she is a nice ute. I 100% agree with your changes though. Those rims just dont suit.

Looks like a beast mechanically.. but needs smaller diameter wheels, smaller intercooler. The beaver panel at the front is one of the great design aspects of a 1200, and with the intercooler hanging low over it ..it ruins the 'cute' lines.

I also think it needs a chrome strip for pinstriping. The extra chrome goes good with red.

Very good work mate, all the same.

Nice buy

I remember when it first came out with the 45USN plates.

I don't mind the grill and the cooler the way there are and I agree with dattodude that the bright red goes well with the chrome!

good on ya will look awesome with those changes, as for the mirrors ... something bigger for starters they just look funny 1200s and all other jap style cars need like round mirrors like mine, small rectangle/square ones or motorbike mirrors i think they look tops...

If you are planning on FR's , I wouldn't go any bigger than 15's. IMO 1200's with enormous wheels just dont look right Also If this car is going to be a daily driver, the intercooler has "pull me over Mr Police man" writen all over it.
