Looks good mate. I like the SSV wheels - look great when tucked neat against the wheel arches. Interior trim looks good too mate. Nice work.

[RUF-60L]

Tidy car man I vote no for tourers, that's my opinion though

[SV6Fitzy]

Thanks for the comments guys appreciated. I have been thinking about some Pedders coilovers. What are you guys running?

I have really been lazy lately, but I was able to pull myself off the couch and make a small change sorry about the quality.

Cheers

Car looks great mate, I especially like the SV6 badge, and the interior trim works well

[Whitesack07]

Looks good mate, looks alot like my Old sv6, living on a black road sucked heaps! could never keep it clean, so sold it an got my ute, lower it a bit an you it will be sweet

[SV6Fitzy]

Hey Alex thanks for the comments the badge was really easy if an IT bloke can do it most people will be able to.
Bought some touch up paint from Holden Sizzle from memory.
I masked up what I could especially below the badge and covered the bumper.
Painted it while it was on the car you could take it off but as I said I was really lazy.

Thanks Ryzie

Thanks Whitesack07 I know it needs to go lower just saving some cash and doing a bit of research on which way to go, Springs and Shocks or coil overs.

[a.critta]

No worries mate haha well im feeling a bit more confident now!
yeah ive got the touch up paint already (seeing my car is red) so no just to actually do it..
thanks for the help though, appreciate it!

Keep the mods coming! Lowering would be a good one, just picked up a full set of gt monroe shocks & struts with king springs (SSSL's all round) for mine. Now just to get them in.. cant wait!!

Cheers
Alex

Hey Alex
It took me a little to work up the nerve, who did you get your shock and springs off if you don't mind me asking? and how much of a drop are the SSSL's?
Cheers
Brett

No worries Brett, got the suspension from the guys off ebay, was up there for $680 + postage.

VE COMMODORE ULTRA LOW KING SPRINGS & MONROE GT STRUTS | eBay

Sent them a msg asking for a better deal so the guy gave me his number, rang him and worked it out for $650 cash! Went and picked them up from the place in bayswater. Give it a go, was easy to deal with and i though wasnt such a bad price but im glad im not paying for fitting!!
Haven't got them in yet, installing them with my uncle next week sometime along with upgrading the brakes to slotted V8 specs, got the calipers and the rotors and pads are on the way. Once ive got everything we can install it all at once!

When its in ill let you know how it is and put up a pic and so you can see how it looks
ive got supersports on mine so will look tops once its dropped! the car is way too high with the 20's haha

[Potta9]

Love all the little touches well done

[SV6Fitzy]

Thanks Alex,
Ok cool a photo would be good once its done . I want to paint the calipers when I get some time and I might try some slotted rotors.

Thanks Potta9 wouldn't mind having an R8 though.
