[Cobez]

[RVN 355]

Photoshop I Recond, Thanks for the pics of the guages pumba,recond you should put the Group A Buldge On :0 Looks nice

[pumba]

cheers guys

yea my avator is a photochop that a mate done for me. thats i got him to do that late last year so i could see what it would look like with those mags and spats... it only had vr clubby rims back then lol.

ill put up the full version for ya to see... i still want it that low... but only airbags would do that lol. and my mags arnt as big as they are in the pic

also, i wanna fit a set of VZ SS guard vents, but ive been told they are really hard to do.

heres the photochop

[AirStrike]

Don't put the buldge on, its rice!! No need for it.

[pumba]

not yet anyway lol... im either goin for a t t/b set up, hirise manifold or a starr 90mm manifold when the motor gets rebuilt... so i might need it then lol

How can a Group A Bonnet be rice? i think the canon on the back of the vp is rice not the Buldge?

[Cobez]

and yes thats what i was told too i was gunna get em done about 3 months ago.........i rang XXX bodykits down here in melbourne and they said its a mega job they can do it but you gotta pay alot extra to have it done 100% spot on perfect..........otherwise they do it another way and it doesnt quite look as perfect............i just forgot about that idea lol.........its about $700 for the whole guard including the vent......plus labour........argh

[pumba]

yea i can get the vents (complete kit... everything needed is there) for about $140. i was told to get another set of guards and fit the vents to them which is what im gonna do anyway lol... then get them painted up to match.

and OI... leave my cannon out of this ... ive got another section in the shed to replace the 3" and cannon to make it a complete twin 2 1/2" the whole way thru. im gonna put that on eventually

When you dont have the TTB manifold its rice. 90% of the buldges fitted to cars are on V6's for christ sakes.

[V85000i]

that's a sweet SS, and you gotta love the spats hey.

[r_i_d_a_h]

dannggg..thats PHAT

where' u get that bonnet buldge from and how much it cost?? makes it look beefy as =D

[pumba]

thanx guys.

i no what your sayin airstrike, but mines a V8 so its not as bad lol. im stil not 100% sure if im gonna put it on yet, but i probably will.

as for where i got it from, i swapped a mate for a spare set of calais spats i had. and he bought it from someone else but im not sure how much and from where. i got it painted when the spats wen ton and got painted. its in 2pac white

[V85000i]

how many spats do you own. you got two sets for sale, you swapped a set for the buldge and you have a set on your car.

[STEALTHY™]

The buldge looks nuts (coming from someone with one)

Also you should get another SS badge for the front, and put it on the passenger side of the grill (just sit it there, and you'll see you'll love it)

[Hillerus]

Nice SS, its good to see there is another tidy VP SS in Brissy. Where abouts on the Southside are you?

[pumba]

browns plains area mate. show us a pic of yours???

i only have one more set of spats left. the stato spats. i got a set fitted, i swapped a set and ive still got the stato ones lol

ill try that once i get a hold of another bagde stealthy

[STEALTHY™]

well, i've seen it with a VYSS badge (obviously on the sides too) but seeing as you have VX ones, i'm sure it'd look the same.

[pumba]

got a pic of it?

[Hillerus]

browns plains area mate. show us a pic of yours???

Have a look in the QLD rides section, fairly ordinary photos, it looked like it was gonna rain and I didnt wanna take the car out of the garage.

Im at Stones Corner, not far from the Gabba
