Nice for a first car, just dont let it get wrapped around a pole.
Cheers Josh
looks great. dont mind the vt style kit either. just get rid of the badge on the tailgate. us ute folk are multiplying at the moment
hey buddy just lettin u know that if i were u i wouldnt use the magnetic plates, THEY ARE RETARDED, they damage ur paint, its happened to a mate of mine and im pretty sure it even states on the packet that prolonged usage may damage paintwork. anyways nice ute u got there, what are u planning to do with it? mod wise that is.
thanks for comments guy and do Magnetic plates really screw ur paint up? if so i gotta get plastics on.
Also would any1 know how much a tow bar will set me back and if they will just cut or throw out my rear bar
Future Mods i reckon for my vs is a full exhaust system since it has the standard extractors and all so trying to see which exhaust has a nice tone to it before getting one or just cutting it at the diff (remove catback) hehe cheap way. also a nice Kenwood system hopefully. also nice ute VS S pack ur ute has a real nice stance to it
exhausts the way to goi installed pacemakers on mine and they were well worth the money, mine came with a 3 inch catback without a rear resi n it drones heaps lol but still has a kinda nice note 2 it a high rpm lol, i wouldnt recommend cutting the exhaust at the diff coz im pretty sure thats illegal. cheers for the comment mate, r u talkin bout b4 or after it was lowered? coz i still want to go lower

go the vs utes! lol were taking over man, everyday on the road i see at least 2 or 3, nice looking ute mate take care of her
VS S pack: lower haha drop it on the guts haha. right now ur car a one of the nicest stance i rekcon my opinon though. also utes are allowed to cut exhaust just behind diff since it is well past the legal requirements of exhuast length.
Also i have seen a lot of nice vs utes i just love them one day my ute is gonna out shine the Showtime/MOMO vs ute thats the blown v8 big block. hehe one day after i make more money
aw really? thats something i didnt know lol, gonna leave mine though just bought a dumpy tip for it the other day haha. chek out my thread sometime soon, updated pics of wat im doing atm, ive had the motor n box out and am replacing seals etc, as well as putting roller rockers in, has given me time to clean up in the engine bay and rid it of all oil n grease. u looking at lowering urs?
mine car has lowered springs with standard pedder shocks with smaller pedder springs it is sitting ok i thinkin about lower it later since i tend to not slow down on speed bumps and really dont wanna do the side over crawl over humps
hahah yea thats the only thing that shits me haha, wen i had ceptors on the rear the exhaust copped a bit of abuse from speed bumps no matter which angle or how fast u went at them. but yeah seriously mate if i were u id move that plate around often as keeping it in the same spot is wat destroys ur paintwork. were bouts u from anyways?
sydney west urself
all the way over in melbourne victoria
Ute looks good mate. If it were mine i would get the front bumper painted to suit the rest of the ute. I reckon the bodykit looks really good. Are they 16" wheels on it? Got any interior pics?
Go the VS utes...!! I love it when i see a new one pop up.
Niiice ute mate, looks tiny and straight..look after it! and be drop the absolute hell out of it so just scrapes everything..dont make it sound like what its not..just stupid shit ive seen people to do Vs/VR utes/wagons and ****ed em.
But yeah defintly get a few mods if u got the money, im lookin at some atm nothing big just to make everyone smoother and bit of power, give us an update on what you do to it..badluck for the L plates :P been there done that
Thanks Chappy and by the way L plates came off this mornin when i got my P's hahaha im cherring so now it looks even better with red P's.
Plannin on getting K&N panel filter and ss induction kit for better airflow cause temp just climbs a bit too much to my liken when i give it a hit so new air filter and better induction should help me
congrats mate, get hi ratio rockers![]()
