Well spotted! I better fix that now! BTW, looks like it is impossible to delete name tags when on a phone, had to go on a laptop.

Get Ajay from @Subirex Automotive to have a look at it, will be much more beneficial than any VTNZ/AA inspections.

Took me a great number of attempts to remember how to take night pics

OLD: Mountain Road SH1 overbridge Bonus pic NEW:

Wet send with 1500 grit than cut and polish?

The one in your original post has hands free calling, factory installed not aftermarket. BUT the whole entertainment system is in Japanese - not that crucial just will have to find out what is what in the menus to start with. Povo == poverty spec i.e a lower spec car NZ new Legacies will always have 260km/h speedometer, not 180km/h.

It' is a 5th generation BR9 Legacy - 2.5 litre non-turbo with CVT transmission. Not a povo spec at all - S package (headlights, bumper, skirts, carbon-like trim, 18x7.5 alloys), semi-leather seats, cruise control/eye sights, McIntosh audio system which imho sound pretty awesome (hands free calling through speakers, music over Bluetooth or AUX inside armrest). Keep in mind though that (as far as I know) navigation will not work in NZ, even if you get correct maps and you cannot change system language to English.

Might be useful: Part number H0017AJ000

Autosol is originally a metal polish, brilliant for polishing mufflers etc (or headlights if you wish, I even polished some high end Swiss watches with it at some stage believe it or not ) I like Meguire's, get it from Smits.

I'd say the other way round - Autosol --> heavy cutting compound --> light cutting compound I just use Meguiar's heavy cutting compound then some Meguiar's glaze. Do not leave any micro scratches/swirls as most of the other methods do.

Not sure why you'd want a stock camera. a) $$$ b) crap resolution I installed a "$10 shipped ebay special" camera in my old BLE and it was miles better than a crappy factory camera in a much newer BR9.

What time was that?..

Found it, guess the gates will be shut at this time of night

Too much wine to go that deep... I love wine

What time did you take the photo? Was walking our dog along that street at around 11

Did the same yesterday, not surprisingly it rains today 😏

Indeed!

Lol I know the place pretty well

Found it, non-subarus allowed? Google maps --> satellite view. GB mostly posts from a certain part of Auckland, once you identify that pattern it's not that hard

Sending them via Fastway on Trademe should be fairly reasonable. Might have to split into a couple of smaller packages. Have sent muffler/rims/suspension that way and ended up being cheaper than Mainfreight

Both BRM (2.5L NA) and BRG (2.0L DIT) are facelifts models. BR9 is a prefacelift/facelift 2.5L - can be NA (CVT) or turbo (5AT). 5th gen have significantly larger rear part of the cabin, especially leg and head room. Boot is actually a touch shorter than 4th gen (test fitted a 4th gen boot mat in a 5th gen and it was too long). Exigas are pretty low on specs, not even HID headlights, basic interior etc.

Yeah you just never know, big issue over the ditch too. I like the idea of wrapping it, perhaps in some alcantara or something similar, all up probably won't be too far $$$-wise.

Damn that's bad Going to replace the whole thing or just leave as is?

A Volvo?.. o_0
