    yeah it did have dual sun roofs.

    Almost compares to the white VP i see driving around with a Hothouse VY SS bar on it. I'll get pics one day, seem to keep leaving the camera out when i go near her area.

    nope, look at the top one, is more about cutting into the gaurds to make the lights fit, & taking the VT garnish to the VN boot lid,

    in the other one, its a whole rear end cut & weld.

    that would be my guess. tried fibreglass and a hammer first time, didnt work out so well, probably started falling apart, then took to someones vt with a grinder for a second go.

    Theres an aboriginal guy going round SA in a maroon VT with heaps of arials, about 30 lion badges on the back, exec, berlina, calais, statesman badges all over every pannel and about 15 smallish bonnet scoopes on it as well as well as 2 sunroofs. Everytime I grab the camera I lose him because of the extra 345rwkw's that all the shit gives his car and he probably has one of those unicorn chips

    Hmm the owner of this car is a little confused as to what he wants, reckon he should have just bought a wrx.
