Don't you hate that photobucket is so annoying sometimes..

Senator looks tidy, stroker sounds like a good plan. HOWEVER what are you thinking, don't change the rims!! Ever!! Those look so awesome on it!!

cheers mate,nah i love the stock rims too,they look okay in the photo but there pretty ****ed im either going to buy new ones or see if i can get them repaired.

[HSV 146]

nice calais mate, cheers,how the **** did you do that!,in the photo you can see the original motor on the back of my cruiser, its out coz it had bad bottom end noise(probz coz of the 150hp nos kit)lol,an ive got a shitty old vn 5.0 in the car for now.

When you click the link and the yellow box comes up saying 'copied', its lying. Just right click/copy like you could any normal text, and paste that

mm nice man but the spoiler isnt right and neither are the side skirts i dont think. also the back bumber bending up mine did that and i couldnt figure out a way to make it go straight at the bottom

Side skirts look right to me.......

100% correct, photobucket's auto copy USED to function properly, but doesn't any more.

sideskirts are original from factory all senators were the same,the rear spoilers were optional on senators an standard on senator 5000i

[HSV 146]

an the back bumper yeah they all do this just like the front bumpers start to sag,hsv started using different shit for the bumpers in vp senator,thats why there so heavy,i know a bloke that fixes that shit(brett at wa spoilers)

[HSV.006]

theres 3 types of side skirts that i have seen come 'factory' or heard people say they are, on senators.
iv never seen 1 without a spoiler hey it looks like a vp ss spoiler except higher up

[savage1987]

i know a bloke that fixes that shit(brett at wa spoilers)

Small world, he came and picked up a tailshaft off me yesterday!

[HSV 146]

according to hsv these sideskirts were the only type from factory,an yeah mate youre right about the boot spoiler it is from a ss but i like it better,mine didnt come out with a boot spoiler an ive seen heaps of others mate.

nice car man, no a fan of VY sig on the senator, i put mine under Dad's sen build number 100 and it didn't look right to me.

I like how the senator badge is painted the body colour like the 5000i instead of the standard black

[LAP004]

[Verynice]

Very nice man, as stated keep those rims on there

[skyracer]
