LOL!!! +1 to all that...

And ditch those grandpa mudflaps ASAP!

Re front grill, is it a straight swap to SV6/SS/SSV grill from Omega? I know the Berlina/Calais/CalaisV aren't. Not sure about Omega.

[Hektic]

not a straight swap you will need to shave of the plastic mount on the side of the sv6 grill.

[ROHJ]

Haha cheers guys

Mudflaps were the 2nd thing to go, along with the old plates and stickers.


Buying the SSV Taillights tomorrow, $169 per side and they're genuine.
Possibly picking up the Grille tomorrow as well, waiting on the guy to reply though.

I'll add suspension to the list, but it'll have to be done after the full bodykit just incase I go too low.

[shauniie]

looks tidy mate and welcome to the forums

what body kit u goin the sv6 kit? or something else in mind?

[Potta9]

Very nice good to see sensible mods with genuine parts

[VS_Pete_1]

Nice ride mate looks nice.

[ROHJ]

Thanks guys!

@shauniie
I'm gonna go with SV6


Picking up lights and an un-painted SV6 front-bar today I'll upload pics with the lights before and after.
Also, does anyone know a good place to get the front-bar painted in Vic?

[Rufys]

Go with SSV tail lights rather than SV6 ones imo...

[BigBoss]

Hey Rufys,
I think that is his plan.

[ROHJ]

Spent a little coin today, $644.35 to be exact.

Bought the SSV taillights, SS/SSV floor-mats, Lock-nuts and Lock-nut/regular nut covers and an SS front Grille.



Here's some pics of the lights, the Grille and mats aren't in yet.

[shauniie]

much better lookig rear end now hehe

[itsArthurKomar]

just need an exhaust with chrome tips :P


im sellin my 2.25 xforce catback for $250 if u want bought it for 750 and its only been used for 3 months all u need to get urself are some moulds/those rubber bits to hang the left side of exhaust on it which u can get from holmart

[ROHJ]

I have enough for it, but I'm going to hold off on any purchases for a while. Remember, I'm only 17... Mums been going off her nut at me because I bought the SSV tailligts. She thinks I only spent $150 lol. She's paying for insurance so I don't wanna piss her off too much :/

[vicarious]

i reckon you need to fit the boot lid carpet to underside of the lid, it will finish it off

[CH3F]

You can get it from Holden, off a Calais, cost me about $52

[ROHJ]

Nah, I don't think it's worth it. I'd rather save up for a decent sound system and that boot lid would probably cause vibration? If it does the opposite let me know and I'll probably end up getting it

[Rufys]

Mats have the logo on them... Why oh why???

No way man... The boot lid liner is TOTALLY worth it. And will help with the sound system. In my opinion Holden are just plain cheap not installing them standard across the range!

Are you talking about the SS/SSV mats that I bought? If so, I don't really mind. I needed new ones anyway. I haven't even put them in yet, still int he packaging.

[itsArthurKomar]

lol fair enuf haha :P i know how u feel mate haha as my mums finaly getting off my back about the shit i do to my car haha

Stealthily put in the new grille whilst mum was out today :P Took two attempts but all up probably an hour... Had to trim the clips at the bottom and also two parts there were on the sides. Definitely worth the $50.
Thanks to BigBoss for his advice :P

Going in for a wheel alignment on monday, I've been driving around with the new tyres for a week now, started to worry me :P

Here's a couple of pics

[BigBoss]

Coming along nicely, as you know an SSV exhaust would set it off.

[itsArthurKomar]

hahah next think u know u will be either selling him ur carputer set up or telling hime to make his own haha :P
