Gonna spray the bits under the bar black and possibly fill the wings in, passed another silver lux today at straddie with the same bar and it looked heaps better with a few mods :D

Seems a shame to axe it as soon as you brought it. Maybe invest in some of those roo whistles if they work that is.

1st thing Id do is paint the zinc bolt heads black as the silver is eye catching. If you still not keen 2ndly would be as you said the infills saw quinneys in vic and it looked good, use checker plate IMO

If you put another set of spotties on top of the bar which would look good, but they do cost! Like Kylie said paint the bolts because they just draw your eye to the bar and dont look right!
Your UHF is in a good spot seeing you have such a big head unit! And it wont bother you because you never sit on that side! But if you do go in the drink it might go under! Ive lost a CD stacker and UHF at about the same hight!

You got water in because when they told you Australia was across the ditch from Newzealand they were figuratively speaking. They didnt mean for you to try and drive over :lol: :lol: :lol:

Cheers guys, the lux did a 9 hour highway drive with a bit of weight in the back yesterday and i tried a fuel cleaner called fuel doctor (green fluid stuff) and reached about 500ks out of 58L of fuel (11.6 L/100km) and had a noticeable difference in torque so i've bought another bottle 8-)
