    Default My 1997 VT S

    Hey everyone. So this is my first car, brought when I was 17.
    Model: 1997 VT Commodore "S" Pac
    Engine: Stock 3.8 Ecotec
    Colour: Raven Mica
    Interior: Grey cloth with blue S Pac inserts
    Factory: S Pac Body kit, Rear spoiler, Sunroof.
    Price: $3700
    Km's: Brought with 295xxx

    The car is pretty much stock standard, since ownership, I've done the following.
    • Series 2 Lights
    • JVC Head Unit
    • SS Spoiler
    Unfortunately when I brought the car, the hood was faded pretty badly, so I eventually sanded the hood back and resprayed with $30 paint and clear coat from Autobarn.

    The photo attached is the most recent when I upgraded the lights, I fitted the SS spoiler soon after. I'll get some more pics soon since it's being raining and she needs a wash.

    Would be glad to hear opinions and ideas . Thanks guys.

    I'd like to see this 'bonnet fix' champ lol. Just look around for some nice rims if it doesnt have them already and get a nice note exhaust if it doesnt already depending on your cash will adjust my 'ideas' you can do haha

    The garnish looks faded :/

    Get a cat back exhaust and some rims and it'll look the goods.

    Yeah haha, the garnish is off an exec I found at the wreckers, someone ran up the back and the garnish and lights were smashed, so got the series 2 lights and a new garnish.
    Not really sure on the future mods yet, I've got two subs to go in but no amp or anything as of yet, and was keen on a catback, but don't really know the prices going around.
    As for the hood haha, it looks overshined compared to the rest of the car, but was told to sand it back with wet dry and compound it and it should be all good!
