Dodgy Mods on Dazzler's new car

Dazzler · **November 10, 2012, 03:34:15**

Well the Stitch on Steering wheel cover (mark 2 version) is not so dodgy .. (better than the 1st one anyway)

Here is the 1st one as a comparison

But the Pretend Shark Fin Antenna needs to be Black or Body Colour I think

(only sitting there)

Steering wheel looks good and I agree - the shark fin needs to be painted. I reckon body colour. Or black.
Or you could stick it on the back of your wetsut for when you go swimming.

That is quite appropriate (I do have neoprene seat covers)

I might spray it black (cheaper option as body colour spray will cost me $25)

That would be a talking point.
"Would you like to come back to my car and see my fin?"

I hate to say this Daz, but I think the "Dodgy" one looks better!

Oh, and wont that shark fin thingy create extra drag and increase your fuel consumption?

From what I've heard, Dazz is into drag.

Shhhh! Daz was keeping that a secret.....

I think "in the flesh" the newer one looks more like the factory one .. Made of proper leather. The first one was sort of leather look vinyl I think. I'm hoping the new one will settle in time..

Don't think the fin will cause drag .. still in two minds whether to use it.

(I've sprayed it black - will take another photo when it dries)

You're an industrious little vegemite today Dazz?

Maybe it's just the angle the pic was taken or something?
Anyhow, doesn't matter, as long as you're happy with it, that's the main thing....

Btw, what the hell are you doing playing with your car, surely you had gardening to do or something?

He's got a sore foot from twisting his ankle in a hole (which he dug) in the garden. Haven't you been paying attention Rusty

Unfortunately Dazz, I would have sprayed it the car colour, not black, sorry.

If you must have an appendage on the car - then spray it body colour - not your body colour but the colour of the car body...

Doggie 1 · **Reply #14: November 10, 2012, 13:05:12**

My appendage is black.
It came with the car like that.

Once you have black, you never go back....

Fair call Rick

I am happy with the new cover but looking at the (now black) shark fin, I think I'll give it a miss

P.S. I spent over an hour spraying a bank behind our house and other areas with "round up"

Got some whipper snippering to do later today

He, he,

As you were talking about painting your black shark fin, I thought you were going to write,

P.S. I spent over an hour spraying a bank behind our house and other areas with graffiti

Ok, so now I've done my last mod (except for the slimline weather shields which are due to arrive early next month)

These stainless sill plates look a lot better than the plastic ones they replaced.. (My old hybrid had stainless Hybrid ones but they would have cost 5 or 6 times as much to source) only $29 a set for these..

Before..

after..
