Drop tank Colour

[shiftySLE]

Hi All,
Made the VH look fatter in the ass end with a VN drop tank, that and the extral fuel gets me through the week, what are your opinions on the colour, the options are silver with black straps, silver with burgundy straps or hide it all with black tank. Or any other opinions you may have.
Thanks

Hide it all with black

Stealth is tops

[shiftySLE]

I'm sort of thinking that too, I like subtle instead of in your face mods.

maroon straps!

maroon straps!

maybe if i tone down the silver to a grey hammer tone or something.

Go all black it will look neater. Nice car by the way!

yeh a darker grey or black or black tank gold straps

[v8commy]

aww yeh and by the way nice car mate looks sick

[shiftySLE]

Thanks, As always looks better in photos, could use a tidy up but I'm not complaining for a 28yo car, original everything (probably had the odd touch up I'd say). I might go black, can always paint it back I guess. Gold straps, hmmm, different, don't know how it would go with the chromes which as you can see these have a lot of, still, I like to consider everyone's ideas.

1+ for silver with black straps

my vote for black, all black.. Got any blacker?

[shiftySLE]

Nice VL, that's how it is now, only prob is being the 80lt, it stands out heaps more. I'm trying to work out if it's just that bit overkill or not.

+2, i got silver and black straps on mine. Everyone has it, still looks tough though.

Your VL looks sex dude.

[shiftySLE]

I guess that's good for me, just means I dont have to do anything or should i say have to find something else to do on it.

How do you get over speed bumps :|

[shiftySLE]

I go over them the same way I do in the VZ standard height.

[VKCOMMO]

id say black. unless you want to dress it up like a torana one, that might be good

[180sc]

black and get the straps chromed.

[shiftySLE]

black and get the straps chromed.

I like that, that could work really well, thanks 180, I might shop around if I don't get any other suggestions that jump out at me.

So VN fuel tank fits the VH? (***Thinks about getting his changed***) how about the VS fuel tank?

BTW Silver with black straps if i were to do it.

[shiftySLE]

not sure about VS, I like the silver and black straps, just looking for a bit of a different look, bit of chrome under the car could look good, haven't quite worked out the fuel gauge yet, but that's VH's for you, the guessing game.

[GetToDaChopa]

Nothing new there my fuel guage is stuffed with out changing the feul tank

Funny story that. I was banging my head in on why my car would not start even though my guage showed half a tank of fuel.... turns out didn't have any fuel in the car

cheers fellas


i spent ages playing this game
was going to paint my tank silver and the straps the same blue but im glad i went black

if something looks good do it, dont worry if its been done too death as we all drive commodores

i reckon stick to silver / black, looks tuff on your car now and will look even tuffer once its a silver drop tank

only go chrome/polished if its a custom alloy tank

[VPplayer]

What about silver tank with chrome straps?
