Welcome mate, it's very tidy. Nice pickup :)

Personally, I'd leave it fairly stockish mechanically, at least for now. Slap on the pepperpots, maybe lower it a bit, and enjoy driving it :thumpsup:

Pfft, pepperpots.
I've got a set of White 16x8 Rota grids here left over from my hatch.

But seriously, I think the pepperpots look better on the later Sigma's, and turbo's look better on the early Sigma's/ That's if you just have to stay with a factory rim.

Nothing wrong with rocking the factory rims with dress rims to keep to Popo away. especially on your P's and driving in Sydney.

Back in the early to mid 90,s a bloke in my suburb had a gh the same colour as yours ,it was immaculate ,he had a ghturbo engine in it that my mate built for him with a webber and 3 inch exhaust ,lowered with polished turbo wheels ,this car was smick ,and would leave the bogan commodores and falcons for dead ,and lay pleanty of rubber, this owner actualy approached the original elderly owner at the local lawn bowls car park and asked if he wanted to sell and paid $1000 for it. look after it gh sigs are getting pretty thin on the ground ,i like that colour also. :thumpsup:
