Thinking of Putting E1 Front Bumper On MY10 SV6

[burleighboy86]

Ok, so this has been done before by others, but I'm seeking some feedback on my current thoughts.

At this early stage of the thought process (Yesterday it began Lol), I don't want to go over the top HSV, so I've opted to go the E1 look as it is the most subtle. Just a few questions.

Would the stock grill fit in with the HSV bumper?

Does the stock fog lamps fit into the HSV bumper? Additionally, what are the second set of lights in the bumper and in your opinion could I get away with not having them until I can afford it?

Finally, how much would you expect the cost to be for this undertaking? Fitted and unfitted guesstimates would be helpful.

I've always been one for a generally stock look, but I love the subtleties of the E1 compared to the later models. The others look just too busy. Any changes to my cars I consider long and hard about, so I'm just tentatively looking into whether I want to do it.

Cheers for any thoughts and opinions.

Stock grille wont fit HSV bumper, the HSV bumper is complete one piece.

Your foglights wont fit, different size.

Could fit yourselrf, not hard. Cost of bumper well you cant just buy them from HSV you either need to know someone that can get you one or find a second hand one.

Thoughts and opinions aye? Here goes... don't make a FakeSV, no matter what there will always be someone who calls you a tryhard. Spend the money elsewhere.

I had that thought at the back of my mind and tried to ignore it Lol. I also wanted to go for what would effectively be an SV6-V, with all the V options put on.

Whatever the result, the process will be slow and steady.

HSV VE GTS Front Bumper on SV6 Series 2?

I think that thread touches on the subject at a high level.

I'm pretty sure the bumper alone costs roughly $1200+ (going by VZ prices) and knowing HSV you'll be looking at a house deposit for fog lights. Ignore the haters, do what YOU want.
