When I first got it (8 April 2010):










----------------------


Painted the brake calipers yesterday, came out great

[Mike08]

Looks good mate, well done.

Cheers.

[TinSnips]

Not a fan of the headlights mate, but that is one very tidy SV6! Brakes came up a treat!

[Scorpion_Shooter]

Man, love the brake calipers. Gotta do it to my Red Ute.

[Ryzie.]

I must say I wasn't a fan at first, but they grew on me - I originally had a strip of LEDs under my factory unit, but they kept causing issues, so went for the complete built in option

What issues where the strip lights causing mate? I installed some the other day.

[Maccas90]

very nice mate!

got any pics of the DRL's at night?

Yeah dno bout the headlights, they look like the cruze headlights i think! Atleast their different though, it's a very tidy rig mate keep the mods coming!

Had wiring issues about 3 times, until I decided to actually cut the wires and solder it in - after that it was fine
The end of the strips popped off somehow, and water got in which took out about 9 LED's

got any pics of the DRL's at night?

I don't personally have any, but Slammer's Maloo has the same but black:

A few pics I took today outside the office

[BigBoss]

Looking good mate, I think your headlights look cool.

[DevilDRake]

5th picture from the top, mint. Awesome reflection :P.

Looks the goods.

[CV60VE]

looking good man are you gonna take off that sv6 badge on the back to?

Lowered and rims and she will look a million bucks

[Ryzie.]

Thanks for the kind words guys

I probably wont de-badge the SV6 - because it's not overpowering (unlike Mr Lion)

I've done a few more little mods since my last post.

• Re-painted the front lion
• New plates - The white on black makes it look so much better
• Quad pipe HSV mufflers (Thanks to Tyron for them)

I've also got a GXP Diffuser on the way. Lowered and wheels soon after

Here's a few pics from the other day:

Well, what a great way to start my holidays.

Was following my mates 4WD last night, unknowingly he decided to jump over a curb.
The SV6 however wasn't too keen.
Turns out the curb is worth $4600 in new parts

To be replaced:
LHF Strut, Strut Bearing, Steering Knuckle, GWheel Bearing, Lower Control Arm, Castor Rod, Link Rod, Power Steering Rack, Washers Rack, Rim, Tyre

Here's the quality design of the road. How ridiculous.

3 things.

1. What product do you use as you rival mine for shinyness

2. Where on earth did you hit?

3. ouch

Hahaha. I use Armorall for the wash, and Meguiars Carnauba Wax
Once every 3 months or so (or before events) After my wash, I'll run over with Clay Bar, then Paint Cleaner, Ultimate Compound then my wax

Hit the front left tyre, in Kings Park, Perth.
