, btw i love the open slot grille, but im gonna fit mesh call me rice but i love it, im estimating the car will sit 90-95mm off the ground at the front... untill i get rims lol where it will sit around 115-120mm, i hate the bonnet scoop lol, and i dont like the rear wing at all... or the front wheel flares.. part from that its good...
ive mounted the rear bumper and dam it looks hot... considering taking the rear boot lock out and filling the hole then spraying it... as some wanker took to it with a flat head screw driver... luckily its a calais and has remote boot release actually wired up as opposed to the exec's that have the motor and the wiring just no button...? hrm thats some great cost cutting by holden... remove the button insted of the motor...

[premmy186]

haha the buttons easily install, i gave up on the wiring bit when i installed my new boot, after the sound system, alarm, central locking, live feeds etc etc i just couldnt be assed, it'll be a key entry :P aslong as no dodgey jams it with a screw driver it should be ok. I'll post up a quik run down of the centre console and doors.

cheers mate, i dunno yet, my rear lock is fked u cant even fit a key into the lock, i mean if u were serious about breaking into a car you would use more than a flat head screw driver and a hammer...

[premmy186]

yeh sumones had a go at both of my cars with a bloddy screw driver, i mean seriously? how can u be that bloody stupid. i had to crawl through the boot and unscrew it all and pop then replaced the boot, good fun. posted a how to for ya aswell, How To: Doors and centre console removal

[PaRaDoX]

hahah nice cheers man.. yeah, that;ll come in useful for when i paint the doors...

[premmy186]

anytime

Love the Group A kit

Nice guide

[PaRaDoX]

indeed, ill take a few pics when i mount up the bumper, its getting 1 more coat tommorrow, starting second job soon so ill have more money to play with...
when i get more money im gonna slap on a set of 17x8 VZ calais rims on it... and maybe down the track (few years) a blue perl finish
no idea yet

[flyen]

got quoted 2690 for a group A kit painted and fitted and that didnt include the spoiler and bonet scoop at that price wont happen anytime soon

Good idear getting the rims before the rest of the kit because a group A kit is hot but with the right rims there is no comparison

just wish i could make a find like you did

i'am another who has had the screw driver to the boot treatment, they stole my spare tyre and jack the basterds:b: , can still open it with a key though

[premmy186]

1300 on that spoiler factory site, im looking at one aswell, dunno if that includes the bonnet scoop and spoiler though? and thats unpainted and unfitted, its easy to fit, and just as easy to spray, im just gonna pray can mine personally, get a tiger mica respray soon so im not really to fussed on how it looks. Gonna go have a look through the junk yards first, c wat i can score.
