Thought you'd come around eventually. Do you suggest siliconning the holes? Looks good.

Hi Oz I used a product called kristal klear to fill the holes before a stuck on the new badge. Comes out white and dries clear.

Congrats Ozstung, awesome colour as it is also my choice, the only thing i cannot have is, a white interior, which i have seen on a video with Micro Blue paintwork, but this colour interior not available in Australia, so not happy about that. Anyway Enjoy your baby in 2 weeks, my turn will be worth the wait.

Hi Melbourne Stinger coincidentally I also liked the white interior which my American friends reminded me was actually Gray (Grey) which yes is not available in Aust. Chose Red which last week I was told was delayed and they couldn't tell me when. Just before I hit the roof he said in the next sentence he said he sourced one with black interior as I posted before. Pulse then returned to normal. So I will post a picture with my witty number plate which so far no one non stinger understands. Bugger it ill tell you now : BIT10A ... Like?

Congratulations, @Tazztattoo! It looks awesome! I'm going to guess you'll find various reasons to be driving all day today. So, see you tomorrow!

Hi all, had to clean and move a few items out of the old shed,
to fit a new member of the family,
Still impressed with this vehicle after a week and 500km

 

[Ozstung]

Nice, there's s few dollars worth next to her.

 

[gsh253]

Im still old school, and you notice both six cylinders, both handle reasonably well
but huge difference in power

173, 186 & 202 considered more than adequate back then. Lj original xu1 ??

my second choice for private plates was "GOTHAMCOP" and when you see the DCB colour in the flesh it's all batmobile!

Hi All

We are expecting our 3rd child and with the Aussie sedans now gone I thought I'd consider a stinger. Is it a completely unrealistic expectation to fit 3 child restraints across the back row?

Is anyone able to measure the width from armrest to armrest across the back seats?

 

[Tazztattoo]

armrest to armrest the back seat width is 133cm so less than a 45cm allowance per child seat. If your current child seats don't fit, buy smaller ones.......you need to have this car!

Just note there are only 2 sets of isofix points
