    The only difference from factory i believe is a 195i HSV tune and the exhaust. That's it. Oh and the badges.

    Anyone can buy some second hand engine covers from a wreckers or ebay and claim it's 'HSV Enhanced'. Look at the silver metal plates on the firewall for any indication it's HSV modified.

    Lol... Too funny.

    The firewall is the wall at the back of the motor. I think the VT had the compliance plate on the wall on the passenger side. Out of curiosity how much did you pay for it and how many kilometres on the clock?

    Firewall: Seperates the engine bay from the cabin. It's the wall behind the engine. The steel one. Engine bay is under the bonnet, bonnet in at the front of the car. You can see it from the windscreen if you look forward and down.
