LOL. I reckon the bullbar would be more suited to Rick Kelly's Commodore

Rub it in why dont you :P . My car looks like it's been 4WDing at the moment. It is that filthy after Phillip Island.

Nice car BTW. I'd get a new demister switch for it though

This will sound crazy... my ED had crusty rear demister and wiper switch, and what turned them back to black was KFC refresher towels.......

Cheaper than a new switch!
