Hey Doreen,

The screws I got that fit is Mushroom head bolt and nut - 3/16" x 18mm.

They're a snug fit and seem to do the job quite nicely.

Cheers For That Jannie ..I was in Bunnings Today looking and wasn't sure ...

You Wouldn't Believe This Jannie But I was just saying to my Hubby that you had just given me the bolt and nut size and he says to me we don't need more as The bolts and Nuts came in the Box with the Air-Dams lol As He unpacked The Box & I didn't realize :roll: .....

Now Don't I feel Silly *redface*

Its just over 1cm so its a lot smaller then the stuff you got online. It was $20.56 for 5 meters. It took me two lots to do what I did today. But I had a lot left over to give you an idea on how much you may need (obviously depends on how much your going to do and how much you chuck away from practice)

Jutt some pics of my air dam ext and front bumper black out install. Finished it all today finally.

I think the vinyl was harder to put on than the air dams extensions!

Just a decal I made.

Hehe thanks. :)

I'm not japanese, I just liked the characters when I came across it on the web.

I had some spare gloss vinyl lying around that we used for the bf's skyline so I decided to make it. I was bit bored at the time. I just copied it on the vinyl with carbon paper and cut it cut it out by hand. Nothing too exciting.

I think theres been a discussion before regarding whether people like characters on cars when they're not from their own culture, but eh do what you want I say :) as long as it doesn't rape my eyes :P


I still haven't got around to putting my 'The spirit of competition' sticker on yet, I've had it forever.
Lots of other people here have it now so it'd look like I'm copying :lol:
