heres some pics taken at home. had the car now for 6 months and slowly starting to do somethings to it.









as you can see i got rid of those after market tail lights and got a set of berlina 1s

[Adriianz]

clean body, lots of potential there mate.

slow and steady wins the race, go for some springs, and clear indicators next i rkn.

keep us posted.

[Big_Jay_91]

yea thats what i was thinking of doin next

i was going to lower it 2 inches but because of the way my exhaust has been done. i can only go an inch maybe be inch and a half. i would like to put a bodykit on aswell but havent made my mind up which 1 yet lol

[Big_Jay_91]

just a bit of an update.
i have just finished painting my brake calipers aswel as the drums took me nearly al week but i got there slowly. will post up some pics when i get them uploaded to my computer

[StockoVRWagz]

I like the wheels, exact same ones as I had on my VR, but mine were called Cobolts.

[Big_Jay_91]

heres a couple pics of my brake calipers all painted.

[You_Jealous]

Brake Calipers look great mate. Needa do it to my ute some time

[NickVR]

Looks very neat mate. Good job on the calipers too.

[Big_Jay_91]

thanks guys. not bad for 15 bucks aye

[Jo3_Blo]

What? You have drums on the rear?

Nice clean VR btw mate, glad to see you pissed off those clear taillights.

[Commydoor]

were the speed alerts an option or standard on the VR Berlina's?

[SweetWagon]

were the speed alerts an option or standard on the VR Berlina's?

Neither...VR Berlina's didn't get speed alert they got Level 3 cluster standard with trip computer

[Commydoor]

ahha...i noticed it had the level 3 cluster...i learn a new thing every day

[MizzVR]

very nice!

[Big_Jay_91]

just a bit of an update.

i spent 3 days building a new sub box. reason it took me 3 days was because i kept changing it around all the time lol but finally got there, all finished and in

let me know what you guys think
cheers

Looks nice mate, good job. Love the calipers too!

You should debadge it mate and maybe even paint the boot garnish?

[Big_Jay_91]

just an update.

i picked up myself a vr ss rear spoiler last friday night, spent most of the night rubbing it back then saturday got some pimer n paint. got it all primed n painted that day but dad stuffed up the paint work luckly there was enough paint left over to repaint it. left it over night to dry properly then fitted it to the car n letting it sit in the sun over the next couple of days b4 giving a light rub with 1200 wet dry then buff n polish it

heres some pics let me know what ya's think cheers

[Kirbs]

Not really a fan of the wing man, But it looks like your making some good progress.

[Big_Jay_91]

the only reason i got the spoiler was because it wasnt overly big and because my boot was a bastard to shut lol but yea slowly getting there hopefully early next year it'll have tinted windows, lowered an inch n a half or even 2 inches (dunno yet) n then get a few things fix up on it and that'll be it

[VXHBD6]

Wing looks good mate, did you get it off eBay?

Paint looks pretty good too mate, well done

[Big_Jay_91]

thanks mate.
i didnt get the spoiler off ebay i actually got it from someone on here for $80. its a genuine vr ss spoiler aswel!

[VXHBD6]

Oh, nice buy then! :P

[Big_Jay_91]

heres a couple pictures of my car when i was playing around with photo shop

let me know what ya's think.

G'day Red Lion boffins, hope you're having a great New Year !
Just bought the missus a VE Berlina Sedan.
I want a better ride and presentation. Cheap as poss - $$$ are tight.
I have previously lowered a VK, VR & VS with Pedders kit.
Don't want to use after market stuff on this one, for insurance purposes.
What is my best alternative?
VE SS suspension?
How much? From where?

I would also like to add a spoiler - any ideas?

I know this is second nature to most of you and I look forward to your advice.

Deep apexes always, regards PTN.
