`VE COMMODORE STUB BEE-STING AERIAL__MADE IN AUSTRALIA__ - eBay Body Kits, Exterior, Car Parts, Accessories, Cars, Bikes, Boats. (end time 04-Apr-09 20:02:53 AEDST)

Thats the same one I got.. basiclly the same except it isn't black lol.

[Johnsy]

Thanks Troy i like the look of the one you got better.... but black metal would look better .. i think the silver one might stick out quite a bit on my car ?

[FAT.36L]

Nice Stato Troy I Really Like That Colour And The Black Wheels
And The Dish On The Back...JESUS!!! Bout time Some1 got Some Descent Dish On Holdens..lol

I Like It

[Zeussy]

Thats tidy as hey, big ass dish on the rears, beautiful...

We need pics but, of the lowering job, windows and the aerial,


If it were up here the window tint would of been fine at 20% no one checks them that ive come accross, and as long as you can sorta see in it the cops dont mind..
35% would probly look sweet but - enough to darken it quite a bit,
I think thats what came on my VY, the po po had it so it should be legal yeh? haha

Nice ride but, I like the colour too, just read your ute thread, that was tidy too..
But it needs a caprice front end!!! if I can find one at a resonable price when the time suits im going to buy it! (the whole car, not just the front end!! lol)

[SwordFish]

Mate you gotta get us some interior pics!!

Car is mad-tight!

Cheers. I wasn't a fan of the colour when we first bought it but it has really grown on me. I thougt it looked a little too 'pensioner'but the wheels make it look like a completely different car.

Black would look better (IMO) only because the base is black. I reckon silver looks alright only because the Stato has chrome window trims and such. But on your car black would be better. Anything to make it look like it isn't a remote control car

As soon as it gets lowered I'll get some pics up.

I did want 20% tint but went 35% just because I don't want any hassles. I think I'll wait until i prang the front end in to get the Caprice bumper. Ohh, hopefully that doesn't happen lol.

Mad-tight, never heard that one! Haha. When it gets lowered I've already told Cousin Slow Poke that he is going to come out with me and take some decent pics of it mainly cos my camera is crap and his is good. I also think he wants to do a wheel swap.. he wants to see what my wheels look like on his Calais V Sportswagon lol.

Ahhh dont say that!!!!
Touch wood that aint going to happen...

That front end looks fine anyway, haha, I always have to change something when I get it, even if it is as nice a ride as yours! can't help myself, I'll say "this one I aint going to touch, besides a set of wheels" then couple of months later!!

[Troy711]

Slight update...

I'm putting a GTS steering wheel on cos I hate the stocko one.. it's waaay too skinny. Also, during the week I will probably be picking up the twin tips off CSPs Clubsport and fitting those so it fills in the bumper a little more.

EDIT: Also changed the interior lights and park lights to white LEDs to make it look a little neater.


Pic of steering wheel and tips

[Troy711]

GTS steering wheel is fitted, so is the Airhammer intake. The tips didn't fit so I'm on the hunt for something else now

[mcrow5]

that sucks mate, i reckon the tips in the pic of the purple clubby look to small anyway.

[Zeussy]

Sucks about the tips, but how about the CV8 Monaro tips?? I think thats the ones, like BANKS is getting for his ute, they look pretty nice, and I think they are 3inch tips, so a little bit bigger..

[Archers]

ay m8 got some inside pics of the car?

[Troy711]

zuessy: I have thought of Monaro tips.. I was actually thinking of quad 3 inch lol. I dunno if they would fit or if it would look like overkill but I really like how they are really thick.

Archers: No, not yet.. I should take some though lol. I should really update the thread with more pics. Hopefully it will be lowered by the end of the month too

[Zeussy]

Yeah do it!! that would look pretty sweet IMO, I don't think it'd be overkill, as the VE have dual outlets anyway, yeh?

I want/ed two of the monaro tips (on the left) of mine, but im not 100% sure yet, ill get it painted and see then..

Maybe find something thats a 3'' cylinder type thing - maybe an old can of food - baked beans etc, sit them in next to each other see if there is enough room?!!

yeah man it looks great in the pics u took but i rekon some nice shots on a sunny day will just set the color off ur car off m8, the rims suit it so well, and when u lower it will finish off the package

[Unit_01]

Nice car mate.

It's as high as a kite but will look awesome when she's dropped

[BANKS]

troy, my tips are nearly welded up. Ill get a photo of them installed within the week

they MIGHT look to big lol

[kohan]

wow, nice ride. i jealous.

but what the hell is with the wheels? they are hideous. they make you nice car look like sh**. They look like they belong on a crappy old R33 skyline gtst
Put the originals back on. or at least get some wheels that suit the car.

that car is waaaay too good for the wheels

[acca00]

nice, dump it

Each to their own... you are the only person to say that the wheels look shit. But It's my car so I don't really care.

What wheels would you suggest (apart from the stock wheels, cos they are fkn horrible)?

[BANKS]

[FAT.36L]

Deffo need these for the rear for your car troy but maybe with the outside 1 offset abit to match the bar

Yep, exactly what I was thinking, have it set back slightly. I've got a guy in mind who might be able to knock up some tips for me, I'll see how I go

[Troy711]

Car is in getting lowered on Friday and hopefully I'll have some pics up Saturday or Sunday. I'm not going stupid, just enough to bring it out of space. Also booked it in today to get buffed the day before C4C
