Looks tuff man. Love Stock VP SSs.
Don't need to change anything exterior wise, except maybe the genuine Sticker kit for the moulds. SS sticker on the grill looks tops aswell (wonder why holden didn't do it)

To be honest, i had to remove to original striping from the front bumper when i had it re-sprayed. When i took it off, i actually quite liked it. So ... i then took the rest of it off around the car, leaving just the solid red, an thought if i didnt like it, it could have done with a new sticker kit anyway coz it was starting to get a bit tacky. An it has stayed that way since, an i dont plan on putting it back

As far as im aware ... the SS sticker on the grill is from holden. It was on there when i bought it (completey stock with a casset player lol). I have seen plenty of others around with it too. I have found only the ones that replace the grill and are un-able to get another sticker dont have them

I'll bet my left nut that none left the Holden factory like that. Dealers may have chose to fit them, but other than that.
I like it tho. Would be the first mod i'd do to an SS.

by law
Yeh i get that question alot.
As of July 1st 2008, anyone who obtains their license is not allowed to drive a forced induction or V8 car. However, as i got my license early 2007, I was only restricted by the law that stated you may drive the following
'3.5ltrs per tone' or '125kw per tone(not 100% on those figures)'
When i was lookin at gettin a car, i made sure i came within those laws, so it is all legit. Only just under the restrictions, but | | |
