I picked up the car last Wednesday and I'm VERY happy with the car ..., all the features etc, power, looks etc... it's all worth it and I already travelled 550km in 4 days
When I got home, I did my 1st mod straight away: OEM NAV
(have'nt done the mod for this nav yet that allow me to hook up reverse camera and video input). A bit nervous when I hooked up the NAV..., but finally It works
The radio also works with the memory seat (I tought this wont work since this NAV option not available for AUSTRALIA). So once you program the radio with memory seat and mirror, everytime you start-up the car with the programmed Key, the Radio will automatically turn on with the pre-set station
Done the Tint as well ... it is 15%
Next mods will be exhaust and grille. I will post pics later.
Cheers
I like it very much.
The car looks funny with the steegin wheel on the right, but I guess its cause im used to it on the left.
I also like how the license plates look like they are wider and shorter. why couldnt they make them like that in the states.
Yeah, I work in the city... I always on Geelong / Wesgate Freeway around that time
I'm thinking to get cast wheels such as DUB or TIS..., but I'm afraid it's gonna be too heavy. Probably I will by forged wheels..., I'm still shopping around for a good price.

Regarding the big wheels; what are you looking for, billet, cast etc? I can point you in the right direction for billet. Have not put any on the 300 yet because we don,t agree on the style but have 20" on other vehicles.
Cheers
Hi there, thanks. The OEM NAV does not have DVD player built-in, it only has Radio/MP3/CD player and build-in Alpine NAV (But we cant use this NAV since no NAV CD/DVD available for this unit).

Hi DUB300, I'm VERY happy with exhaust and the sound is exactly like the video on their website and there's very very very little droning or no droning at all when you'r crusing.
I dont have to pay any Tax n Duty. Just talk to them regarding how to deal with this and they'r willing to help you. Good luck.

Did you have to pay any extra at customs when importing exhaust?

Thanks heaps Bezita
That's made up my mind, I will order the exhaust next week.
Hey Bezita, I was in Sheen Panels South Melbourne this arvo. Do you know the guys there? Sebastian was telling me about a client who has just picked up their Black 300C after replacing a Grange. Is that you?
I repaired my old car there once... and I think I know Sebastian there..., but my old car is not a Grange...., it's a bimmer ..... is that close enough? hahaha. I dun think I'm that guy

Congratulations on your new ride. That car is gorgeous, but I can not get over how weird the steering wheel looks on the other side...
Oh well, I bet our cars look equally weird!

Is that your car on Capel? I think I saw it the other day when I dropped in to see one of my dealers. Love the grill, got the same one for mine.
How dark is your tint? The back has to be at least 20%.
