Mate! It was ridiculous! My Blue Trim removal tools which are thick plastic designed specifically for this task were turned white!!!! No shit!! I rang the supplier and asked if it was actually suited to the S5? There must be some hidden screws in the S5. No mate, what our vid. So I search YT until I find their vid. They did the swap while parked on the beach on a lunch break. Pop Pop, off it came!! No Way!Quote:

Naomi drew a line yesterday, she said I don't think you should be pulling the dash out, please don't, it's a brand new car, it was expensive, maybe you should get someone to do it. Lol. Nah it's OK dear, I got this!!!
Wait until the 5" snorkel arrives as the angle grinder comes out. Lol. I didn't dare show her the tow bar fit while the rear bumper was off! I don't think she was ready for that. Bhahahaha
Here ya go, looks like a electric window motor, see how close exhaust is and where the factory heat shield isQuote:

Nah that was all done it cost me an extra $80. To be honest I did not even check it when I drove away. TPMS is not something I have ever had before so just didn't look for it.Quote:

I uses HD double sided tape to keep the Aerial tight and tidy. There was a nice little grommet in the A pillar just under the factory loom which also worked a treat.

Then on the front lawn when I got home my Big-O Sliders . "You Bend them, We replace them" warranty. I considered making them but after looking at the chassis mounts on these I felt that this were a good buy made from Tube not pipe.

These have a kicker at the front and the back and the cross braces are all angled which should help deflect hopefully. I will be taking notice though mate for sure.
Yeah mate get some mesh in those gaps or it could end in tears. Would look sik too! :DQuote:

Naomi drove it to Werribee and then we swapped and I drove home. Now Naomi hasn't really driven it so was pretty laid back.
I got in the drivers seat and cruised through the Burbs. Amelia in the back seat with a DVD playing with headphones on.
I came up to a Red light out the back of Werribee, just as I came to the line the light went green so I floored it! Bhahahaha! From the back seat Amelia yells Dad! My headphone came off the back of my head! Bhahahaha. I think they both got a surprise. This thing is a Beast.
It's so hard not to be a wanker in it aye.....we don't have lights were income from so when I go to the big smoke,if I'm on the line....it's a race idgafQuote:

So much for having six or so big bolts to hold the bull bar on. We'll give you a thousand tiny bolts!Quote:

Brutal. Nah there was way more too it than i thought there would be. The clips down each side of the grill need to be squeezed horizontally which was a bitch then the bottom of the grill needed to be unclipped from underneath. was a MOFO but its off now. The front Bumper was a bit brutal too but wa got it all off.Quote:
