Thanks mate!

I love this car. It turns heads everywhere. I'm not used to this kind of attention as I used to drive a station wagon. :D

Thanks.

I've already posted some photos in the gallery although they're a bit crappy as they were taken before night time but I'll take better photos soon. I'm in Sydney.

Thanks for the warm welcome guys. :D

Just a question for GPvR owners though, is there an adjustment for the brightness of the dash? I can't seem to find one. Also, can you confirm that there is no central locking on the GPvR as I previously thought that it might just be broken.

Thanks!

WTTC...i dont have a gpvr but it should have central locking. FTO locking isnt the best,but can be fixed fairly easily. (my one wasnt working cos there was no battery in the remote - took 1 year to figure out 8O )

yeah central is standard can be a few things that cause it like the relay or alarm even the motors but FTO is known for bad central however usually cheap to fix check forum diy if your handy have a crack yourself as for lights some have brightness adjust some dont but sure you end up getting KMC ones which have brightness adjuster :D hope that helps

the VR dos not have central locking as it is one thing they left out to make the car lighter, the same with the fold away mirrors and so on.
