I'm planning on loosing both the scoops they make the rear end look too fat, they stop the roof lines from flowing into the rear of the car. I have the standard covers but no Nissan Bayside Blue paint... I wouldn't expect to find any around here either lol!

I need a few parts at the momemt actually, a timing belt cover for a 3S-GTE genIII (which I'm hoping mates up with the 5S-FE front cover). When i bought the car it was displaying its shiny HKS cam gears, to anyone with lapriscope to be able to view them lol! I also need a heat shield for a pod filter or a stock genIII airbox, any help appreciated.

I love the wheels and they would be well suited to a non-widebodied car, 18x8 +34 (with a 3 mm spacer) and 18x9 +36. I would like to get some Grams Lights 57 Pro in gunmetal/titanium (bit of bling) but with the wide guards am totally bemused at what offset and disc clearance would a) fit beautifully and b) look awesome.

I would love to just cruise to Sydney and will be soon... for an emissions test :(

You should be able to pickup a pair of factory side indicators in either amber or clear fairly cheaply from Toyota, they're identical on a number of models (Corolla, Celica etc).
I didn't want to mention it earlier but totally agree with your comments on the snorkels and wheels, it will look amazing once you have those sorted. The US MR2 forum (MR2OC) would be a good place to look for examples of sizing/offsets for a widebody, quite a few of them on there, or use one of the wheel calculators online to work out some sizing as well.
How come you have to come all the way to Syd for an emissions test? Either way good luck with it, and if you have time while you're here I'm sure a few of us wouldn't mind having a bit of a look at your car haha

Oh Stop! You guys 'll turn my car red if you keep complimenting it![:I] but seriously thanks.

Does everyone hate snorkels... there hasn't been this much division on the styling of cars since the cyber kits were popular on mirages and hondas. They will be leaving my ride, to a better place if anyones interested it could be their place.

What are the guys and girls thoughts on mirrors? One of mine is tech screwed in place (due to the pivot point being broken i suspect), so Im thinking do I try and find a replacement unit or just bight the bullet and go for some ganadors or craft squares? If i go the Ganadors or the replacement mirror I'll have to paint to match the rest of the car (do the engine deck side panels too).

Soon to be fitted: Turbosmart Dual Port, new 2.5" piping

Well snorkels is personal taste. I have one (original Toms that came with the car from Japland), which I do like. It honestly depends on the rest of the car though. It tends to compliment the lines of my bodykit, but imo not the lines of a widebody. Snorkels also tend to stand out too much on a stock body. 2 snorkels looks like the "devils horns" imo, which isn't a good thing.

If you ask the Yanks, they HATE snorkels. To each their own though.
