Hi guys,
Here are some updated photos before I get the W427 bumper I do like the lion painted black! Next wednesday she will also get the 3.7 diff along with the 30K service

[TinSnips]

Looking good mate!

[loku16]

Got my 3.7 diff... and WOW..the car is very very responsive. Haven't looked at my fuel usage but at least the drone point has shifted It seem to hang in 5th for a little longer than normal and I will have a chat to the VCM boys about it. I would definitely recommend it for anyone wanting to change their stock diff to this.

Also thinking of powder coating my wheels to all gloss black. I initially like the machined face but I think I want the full rims to be black. I will keep the chrome strip on the boot and continue the chrome line through with the door handles (will replace the handles with the caprice ones)

Cheers

Very Nice wagon, but putting Chev badges on it is the same as putting Ford badges on it, its a Holden Commodore not a Chevy.....i just started a thread on this, why not be a proud Aussie and display the Lion with pride, nothing worse than Aussie kids thinking they are Yank gangsta rappers and chev badges on a Holden.

[The_Doctor]

Did they give you the space saver spare? Thats what they gave me but on the SSV Redline they have Brembo brakes and the space saver doesnt fit with the larger callipers. Thats not Holden Intelligence at work.

Hey Doc,
the age old emotional discussion on the badges....hahhaha... yes..won't go into it again but it sounded like a good idea when the sales guy asked me whether I wanted the Chev grille. But as you can see the lion is back in black. Have say that I'm still a fan of the sleek look of the bowtie! The back badge just had to go..too big and did look 'out there' in the end.

I had a full tyre not a space saver. My car is a series 1 and is not the Red Line but has the red leather interior which was an option for me. I just replaced my SSV badge with the redline to color code it a bit.

This will look great with the 427 bumper on there can't wait to see it

Looks the best with the Lion (black). Even though its not riggy, Redline SSV badges tops it off.
Nice look Mate

Looking good - very interested to see it with the W427 bar. Been toying with the idea myself!

[loku16]

Thanks gents!
yeah.. after seeing some photos of cars with the W427 bumper on here...I just couldn't help getting one!

This thread was the decider. Met with the guy at his small factory in Dandenong and thought I might as well.

W427 Front Bumper??

[MacD]

Good bumper but I think its to aggressive for the wagon mate
I would leave as is.
What do others think?

[loku16]

Here is a thread of a wagon with the bumper! I'm also going to powdercoating my rims all gloss black

what do ya think

[Gravity]

I quite like it.

[MacD]

Still like the front the way it is. But thats me, he also has the flutes.
Ya wheels black will look good.

[BlueSteele]

hmmm I dunno. I think I prefer the orginal. I think I need to see it in person

[loku16]

Ok.. here are some quick shots taken today. Got the wheels painted about two weeks ago and kit put on last week. Massive thanks to Michael at Universal Kustoms for the kit.
