looks great - fairly sure you can put a flattening agent in your paint to dull it off

Not sure if it was needed but i changed my hand brake cables. The drivers side was abit frayed and crappy, the passanger side still had a few thousand km's left in it..........

what you reckon?

Matting base will dull the gloss but doesnt give an aged appearance. Still looks like dull new paint.

Found myself a cool old 3/4 length rack.
fitted straight on with out any adjusting
i was hoping to find somthing that would mount to the original roof rack points but now i will get rid of them this weekend.
started a new job 2 weeks ago so no other progress to report.
