Nice one mate, looks like a good clean SV6.

Cheers.

[Ryzie.]

Looks great mate, good choice

Give the exhaust tips a once over with some Brasso and they'll shine up beautifully (:

[jbray1984]

Well I plan on changing the exhaust over. I don't know a lot about it all, but I want quad pipes with SS/HSV tips and a pretty throaty sound.

Chuck some secondhand SS/SSV rear mufflers (about $100 on ebay) on her and see if you like it. Anything much more than that has high chance of drone.

Will this give me the quad look or will I actually have to change something to get that?
Just love the look of the quad.

[jbray1984]

Is this the type of thing to look for?

ve stainless rear muffler | eBay

[BigBoss]

Yep that would do the job, or you could hold off until an older set came along i picked up an entire system for $170

[jbray1984]

Are they just a lift up and bolt on thing? Like, easy to do for a IT Guy :P

[BigBoss]

Haha yep mate simple enough, I did it and i have never done an exhaust before

[jbray1984]

Win, that's what I like to hear
Will post pics once done

[jbray1984]

Slight update.... BeeSting Aerial lol. Not a big deal. But still :P

[Gravity]

Still... showing some love for your car is always a good thing .

[HSV5L]

Looks good needs bigger rims.

Haha thanks Lots of love for my baby

Looks good needs bigger rims.

Indeed it does. Just in the middle of moving to Townsville at the moment so all my money is going towards that. Plus the first thing I want to do before Rims is Muffler change

[HSV5L]

I think black ve ssv wheels will look tuff. Or even if you dont have the cash yet paint yours black they will still look allmost as good.

[jbray1984]

I was actually looking at getting some second hand SSV rims as I think they set off the Orange colour quite nicely, even just in Silver. Never thought about painting them black though.
Haven't seen Black SSV wheels though.

Also edited original post to include future mods that I am interested in.

[HSV5L]

I might sell you mine for the right price.

[jbray1984]

Could be a hassle on freight. But what's the right price? lol.

[HSV5L]

there is some very minor gutter rash on 2 of the wheels tyres are very good not retreds all centre caps are there paints good i think Couriers, Courier Services, Courier Companies, Freight Companies, Freight Forwarders, Packing Supplies is the cheapest and closest to me view my build thread for pics of the wheels there of a 2010 ve ssv $1500 i will let them go for.

[jbray1984]

I'll definitely keep it in mind. In the middle of moving house/town so all my money is tied up in that. But once settled in you might be seeing a PM from me to see if they are still available

[HSV5L]

Ok mate see how you go it will look awsome with stripes and ssv's cheers travis.

[BigBoss]

Hey Mate, Just a little info your stripes should not cost you any more than $200 and about $300ish for a tint

Where do you shop? lol

I'm replacing mine as the aussie sun doesn't like them... to have them replaced inc fitting ($460) and then add another $120 to that to have them removed.

In ref to your budget for lights... Holmart is your cheapest option for genuine but they will set you back $1034 for the SSV rears & Projector headlights (GENUINE). OR you could go no genuine for half the price. Get ont holmart at the moment as they are selling the rear lights (genuine) for $169 each which is a great price - (New Genuine) VE SSV TAIL LIGHT RIGHT HAND


And if you just want an exhaust straight off an 8..
