HSV VE GTS Front Bumper on SV6 Series 2?

[chilo]

Hey guys just had a quick question,

Does anyone know if a front HSV 2008 bumper fit into a 2011 SV6 Series 2?

Any help will be appreciated


Cheers

[vicarious]

yes, you need new(series 1) headlights though

[chilo]

So the series 2 headlights are different to series 1?

Ahhh why cant they just make everything easier for us...

Cheers for that anyway

[vicarious]

series 2 lights taper up at the bottom at grill end,series 1 are flat at the bottom all the way along

May as well get SSV series 1 lights just for the projectors.

Apparently series 1 SSV lights wont fit in a series 2 from the holmart website

Arrrgh ill just skip the conversion for now. Darn pricey all up. knocking me back more than $2000

the grills are different from S1 to S2 as well which may be an issue with the bonnet.

why bother with the HSV bumper put a HDT one on it, it'll fit better and look different not like a HSV GXP wannabe

Why on earth would you want to do that?

Just though id update the front look of the car buddy. Guess not

Anyone seen the HSV daytime LED's put on a VE front?

Spend the 2k elsewhere. Adding a bumper to make it look like a knock off HSV is simply a waste.

u want to update the front of a brand new 2011 made car with a 2008 bumper?

get a HDT VL bumper at least its ment to have holden tail lights. HSV front with Holden tail lights is just wrong, hense why they disscontinued the HSV GPX models

Daymmm guys was just a thought...

I see your point though putting a 2008 bumper on a 2011 car. (bad idea)

Well thinking about it i rather spend that cash on some wheels. Looking at the Tourers 20"...

Thanks for all the suggestions guys...

[BigBoss]

Haha, don't take it to heart mate, HSV gear on a non HSV cars is normally criticised around hear.

Well it's just such a bad idea.

[chilo]

haha all good guys...

Thanks for all ya opinions...

Rufys: You should be more open to different ideas and opinions and reason out why its not a good idea not just saying "its a bad idea"

It would help out newbies like myself in not spending excess amounts of cash in stupid mods

Cheers

[Troy711]

Oh god, first a knock off HSV and now Tourers? Tourers are bloody awful to say the least.

Tourers = excess amount of cash in stupid mod.

If you are looking for wheels, best bet is to go to a wheel place and get them to bring out rims so you can see how they look on your car.

Everyone has tourers because they are cheap AND there is so many out there it's easy to picture them on your car.

Seriously, there are some awesome wheels out there that suit VE's very well.

You will get more satisfaction from comments to the tune of "Wow.. those wheels look awesome on your car" rather than "Y|Hey, I've got those on my car too..."

At the moment it sounds like you've got cash burning a hole in your pocket and you are looking for the quickest way to spend it.

My advice, slow down tiger. Take a moment, do some research and find something you REALLY want on the car rather than jumping from idea to idea based in some forum comments.

I counted 7

I like that you're taking everyone's opinions chilo, you would have definitely regretted the bumper
What colour car do you have? Like Jesterarts said, there are awesome wheels which can make your car pop

[vicarious]

if it was me, i like a good set of ve hsvi rims, for the fact i like factory rims and they are subtle and classy and not many people have them unlike the tourers(with the exception of supersports)HSVi - SS-V

[chilo]

Well ive got a VOODOO blue one.

Had a look at those HSVi wheels... Pretty awesome looking and expensive

Now the only thing i need to do first is lower the ride down. Was thinking of getting the pedders 2954/2955.

Think the drop is like 40mm with the stock 18's. Would 20 inch wheels fit with that setup?
