looks very clean mate, well maintained. Take off the caps and show off the cepters :P

[brad3394]

Thanks man, yeah i will, when i get my p's

i wanna spray them silver too, because at the moment they are a dirty black, but idk maybe someday.

[calais24/7]

Looks nice and clean though mate so well done,
Free mods,
remove hubcaps,
put the original white/yellow parking lights back in

Buy a few $2 cans of silver spray paint, and paint your chasers. just my opinion

[spud_22]

Looks good mate. frist thing i did was throw the blue parkers in, they look good man

the chasers will be painted, just need some free time, dw the blue parkers arent staying, coppas will hate them and i got hid blue ones coming, something abit more subtile

[redvs2]

looks clean mate good start!

[calais24/7]

it wont take more then half a day :P dont be lazy. How many k's does it have?

haha, do you need to remove the tire or just mask it?

uhmm 137000 so heaps low for an old girl

[calais24/7]

holy shit! thats heaps good, your lucky to see a vs with under 200 these days.
I would just grab some old newspaper and mask it to be honest won't take you long at all and will look much better on silver chasers. Don't spray them near the car though, oversprays a bitch, learnt that from expirence

[brad3394]

yeahh, might give it a go this weekend, i still wanna remove the side strips and paint the boot garnish, so maybe those first then the rims, ill see

[brad3394]

My new additions to my interior, yeapp you guessed it, a blue led light, and blue AXS seat covers.



sorry bout the shit phone quality, but you get the idea.

[sprayzz]

very clean mate... good starting point for any car i reckon... cant wait to see your future mods

[brad3394]

Another little update, 500k headlights are in with white parkers, much nicers, no more amber colours. tell us what you think

[brad3394]

Hey guys just a new addition to the commy

without having to pay thousands for the supersports i want, i thought id dress up the stockies so i purchased these.



yepp they are flappers now i just gotta wait till the beast is lowered till i can throw them on, stock height might not look too good.

[brad3394]

So ive been painting a couple of things around the car.

the boot garnish is now painted:
befores and afters.


and the engine cover is being painted white as we speak and pictures will be put up soon.

let me know what you think.

[Trayner]

looking good champ , looks
alot like mine before starting modding it haha

[brad3394]

Yeah I got some inspiration from you man, I really like your acclaim.

I wanna go for the old school, white walls and venitians look, then buy some supersports when I've got some cash and maybe ss kit it.

But yeah I love yours, the transformation over time was pretty madd aye.

yeh took awhile to get it where i wanted mine but it got there finally lol , just keep at it doing little mods here and there . It all adds up in the end

trolololol

The thing is there Are soo many vs commodores out there that no matter what you do it has already been done, and I love supers so I'm eventually gunna get them. Plus no one in my area has them.



Yeah I'm expecting the whole thing to take a year maybe even two, but I'm on my ps for 3 years so I have 3 years to #### around with it pretty much
