So today, we decided to give my car a good once over with interior detailing/clay bar/cut n polish/buff and damn did it make a difference

First port of call was to give the interior a clean (fortunately i'm anal about my interior so it wasn't overly hard for him minus dog hair lol)

Then we gave it a wash with Bowdens Car Wash (Salt free and works a charm)
Then the roof was had tonnes of contaminents so it was given a claybar (Also Bowdens)

Sneak Peek at the wheels, centres are all in etch primer with a black gloss coat behind the spoke. Decided to do the black as it wasn't able to be seen so why waste $$$ on more lovely subaru pearl white :P

UPDATE:
The other day i decided to get off my a$$ and get the projectors in
the lens seemed damaged but got most of the issue off.
Next Problem was i bought these second hand (as you could guess by last comment) and one of the mount broke off in the post, luckily it didnt affect the mounting of the projectors.

First was to get front bar off, i would of thought it would of been harder than it was but i did have a bodyworks guy helping me :P

Im soo sorry but we had an issue that caused me to avoid my slr so all photos are iphone only the issue was setting up the HID's...the passenger side was ok and was plug and play but the drivers side had a separate red and black wire....
After reading the install on here it said to run wires back to battery..that didnt seem right so i showed a friend and straight away he figured it out.
The previous owner had unplugged the two wires and the connector was inside the projector so i didnt see it =/
So here is finished result:

VERY happy with them, they dont annoy other drivers and have a very direct light to them, but i might need to adjust one side a tad up.

Big thanks to Swade on here, i found the perfect aerial i wanted for my jazz, It's extremely small and gets rid of the RC aerial that was once there:

Looks good! Were the headlights a retrofit or is there a company down there that produces them? Ive been thinking about a retro on my headlights, but also like the idea of having them done, just to have them done.

Im pretty sure they are premade ones, usually cost around AU$600 but i picked these up for $250.

195/45/r16 Hankook V8RS tyres are the choice for me, super sticky lots of tread and should stretch oh so slightly :P i might go push my wheel guy to get them finished asap!

Updates have been few and far between but wheels are nearly done. Only mods lately have been putting too many k's on the odometer :P

Got the inner barrels back, not overly happy with the finish but they will have to do i guess =/
Gotta go pick up the centres from a mates, they are all done and look epic! all the lips have arrived so it's just a case of drilling holes in new lips and putting them all together.

Tyres are on order, i went with Hankook V8RS's in 195/45/r16

UPDATE:
So yesterday i picked up my inner barrels off a local shop who stripped them and painted them gloss black.....
After having a good look at them and showing a few spray painter mates and have decided to send them back to get done again. There is many runs in the paint and looks horrible, yes i will never see these runs but it will annoy me haha.
No pictures yet of said runs but trust me its pretty pbad for the $$$ i paid.
Buuuuut i have pictures of more wheel painting that is full of win

My mate sent me these two pics today of my centres all done in Subaru Satin White Pearl. They look amazing and can't believe how well they came out.
Just put my bolts in some coke to hopefully get all the glue off them so wheels should be back together by next week
