yupp 99 as far as I know. Pity this guy has spoilt the car with Pizza dish wheels.

[Grennan]

Yeah totally agree, those rims are just, horrible.

[STEALTHY™]

The mirrors are abit sparkly aswell, so i think he has chrome mirrors on it.

99 made, interior is pretty awesome if you got to see it.


Going by how many i know of, theres not many written off yet.



The plates spoil it worse. We live in SA, stop being a tightarse and buy HSV SV99

[JD]

seen that car heaps, he's had a accident in it before as well

[Troy711]

gahh... what the hell did he to to the wheels!!

[r_i_d_a_h]

eeeek, hes got those lame-ass M3-copy chrome mirrors

[vicarious]

was that shot taken outside cafe de villies

[Astranomical]

I'll take a guess and say that he bought them so that he could sell his OEM wheels off to some 17 y/o to put them on his VN HSV Exec Clubsport GTS, and make a fair bit of money. :-/ :'(

um.....what?

[Astranomical]

What I meant is that he probably sold the original wheels off to someone to put on their VN, which they've made into a fake HSV.

[Troy711]

no way would i sell those wheels. they are my favorite HSV wheels ever made

You can buy them new.


Thats how i got my grange wheels, the guy just bought SV99 wheels. I got the Grange wheels in the new boxes. Although, i could've sworn they were 10 spoke, not 9....

[Troy711]

they look better in the GTS variant (shadow chrome)

wheelking has them listed as around 3300 for the wheels alone :emo:

The guy who bought them is on this forum (thats how i bought the granges off him) and i can't remember the exact cost, but i didn't think it was that much.

[Torquen]

yeh there was 99 made. one of the most expensive HSV's ever realesed.
interior is very cool. more pics for thoses intrested. cant see interior very well but you get the idea, EVERYTHING is tan leather!

[STEALTHY™]

[Torquen]

[=Calais v8=]

my mate has one. very very nice car! he is only 20. bastard.

[STEALTHY™]

super sexxxxy! lol

Thanks, the interior aint bad either

[Wombat]

Beautiful car...apart from those wheels of course...

Only 99 made! Good Lord. Some people just shouldn't be let near rare cars, you know?
I am reminded of the oil advert which used to be in Street Machine magazine quite a few years ago, where a young guy is standing by a gold 327 Bathurst Monaro. The advert says a story something like "yeah, granddad bought it brand new, and only drove it on weekends, grandma hated it, so it usually stayed in the shed, he really babied it. When he died, I inherited it...a genuine 327 Bathurst Monaro with low mileage, in perfect original condition."
What did our hero then do?
"The old girl only needed a freshen up, so I repainted it, tore down the motor, worked buggery out of it, lowered it, mag wheels", and the list went on...
So Einstien, you've taken a priceless original piece of motoring history, and turned it into just another done up Monaro...oh sure, it might have once been a Bathurst Monaro, but now it's worth maybe a tenth of what it would have been if you'd kept your grubby mitts off the damn thing!

Same with that SV99...unless he has kept all the original bits (which I would have done and put them back on for shows if you must have different wheels and mirrors), he has just lowered the value dramatically. Well done.

agreed wtf is with people screwing up all the rare, limited edition cars, and notice that most of them have pizza trays for rims.

[STEALTHY™]

Agreed aswell. Fair enough doing mods to make the car look better, but those wheels and mirrors don't do that.

VY mirrors at the least. And such a rare car, the wheels are awesome as they were.
