cheep mods?

[jonko]

hi does any one no any cheep mods i can do to my car to make it look good please?
inside or out is fine ?

[GetToDaChopa]

Wash it dry it and slap some rims on it, thats the cheapest.

BTW your car looks fine the way it is, don't ruin it, the most is lowering and rims.

[White Tiger]

paint/remove trolley strips and paint door handles to match the car color
seat covers for the interior and neon interior lights if you haven't thought of that already

[pow3rslave]

debadging is popular, could take the trolley strips off the sides if you're confident. apart from that maybe lower it (proper, not cut springs)

[whitey152]

yeah cheap mods give it a really good detail(wash,clay,polish,wax) and same with the interior

you can get lowerd springs pritty cheap these days

get rid of those trolley strips

and she will start to look better

[jonko]

yea i was thinking of doing door handles and trolly stripes rims are the last thing on my list i was thing of painting the oval bit on the dash that goes around the speedo and a/c button anddown ash try

Interior:

Door trims off a better model really clean up the boring execs $50-100
for the love of god DONT PAINT INTERIOR PLASTICS
Some fancy seats out of calais\hsv - $300-1000 depending on model/condition

Thats about all i feel needs changing inside.

Exterior:
Seeing as the cars white, shouldnt be too hard sourcing white side mirrors/door handles/rear garnish, or you could try painting them up yourself.
Lowered tastefully and safely
Any wheels as long as they are in good nic and no hub caps.
White walls look good on a white car, but need a lot of maintenance
Could strip the side moulds if it floats your boat (i like them)
Calais\berlina tailights.
Make sure none of your headlights/tailights are faded or yellow. IMO this is one of the more important things to keeping a car looking good on the outside.
A wash, polish and wax.
debadge everything except the holden lions

That would turn it into a real neat cruiser

[jonko]

oh yea cool im getting legal clear tail lights for it. as for the trolly strips would it be easyer to paint over them i dont think im confordent to take them off

[jonko]

Make sure you get an engineers certificate for the seats!

[jonko]

[GetToDaChopa]

Suddenly you will, when the cop pulls you over. And gives you a fine. Don't risk it.

[jonko]

cool thanks for that mate i never new that

[GetToDaChopa]

cool thanks for that mate i never new that

Me neither, untl i got pulled over

[jonko]

cool whats the cost to get them put in

[GetToDaChopa]

You just need to find an engineer to sign of on it, it not cheap, compared to the seats. But i don't know how to go about it though. I just took mine out in the end.

easier to fit a nice set of factory seats

[RATTLEHEAD88]

debadge, remove trolley strips, nice rims, wash and wax and she'll look schmick m8!

[jonko]

yea do any of you's know of any cheep 18" chrome mags ?

[-ToM-]

I did. Then i bought them lol

I'd go with the better model factory seats, I've got full leather vn calais seats in my Vr executive, really really tidies the interior up and gives it some class. Comfy as to. And lets face it, a commodore isn't a race car...

But it comes to personal choice in the end, do what you like, its your car
