what is holden by design mean

[STEALTHY™]

Holden by Design Started out with the VL after Peter Brock bought out the HDT VL with the polarizer Pack Holden gave him the arse so HDT stopped then Peter Brock started in 1988 SV which the first car was the VL SV88 Calais and still had the Polarizer pack in it My VL Formula Turbo was the first car that Holden released from Holden by Design which was in competition towards the Brock cars which did not compare

Holden by Design is NOOOOOOT Holden Special Vehicles.

Just so you know

Your wrong. Def out with the VT range.


HBD (now called HSVi) were just the company dealers used to fit extra's to cars. Bodykits, wheels, and other extra's.

Cheers for clearing that up.. I wasn't sure..

Holden By Design (HBD) as has been said already are optional upgrades that can be fitted from factory. HBD upgrades are usually things like different wheels, bodykits, painted PBR brakes and interior options such as seats, steering wheels and roof mounted dvd screens for the later models. Not exactly sure when HBD enhancements started but my vs has a full HBD interior from factory so thats atleast from 97 and they went to atleast the vy. HBD is not associated with HSV.

If you look at your HBD build plate it should also tell you what options were fitted.

If you go back prior to HBD, can you recall the "Formula" factory option packages that were offered on VN's and Camira's? They were REALLY crap - painted wheel covers (white, I recall) and I think the cars were generally all white, with stripes and other ****.

Real "must have" cars - NOT!

i can remember the vn formula

but a hdb camria:shooting: good god how on earth could they improve a camira beside setting it on fire to hot it up

10 minutes later im still laughing at at a hdb camria thought

hdb tags would have been worth more than the car itself


can tell ya know hsv and hbd tags 10 years later aint worth **** because half the parts fitted are totaly stuffed now anyways mine is now a dsv

darren's special Vehicle as i had to replace all the stuff to bring it back to life and the options availble now hsv dont even compare
