    Does this mean mine looks silly with the spoiler because its lowered?
    I think it depends on the type of spoiler. Also comes in handy to keep the arseend in line at high speeds, its not just for looks

    thanks once i get the cash for it i'll be lowering it witha new exhaust too.

    just took off all the badges, looks so much cleaner.. you can only just notice it if you look hard enough as i cant seem to get the lining around the badge completely off

    thanks man i'm pretty happy with it..i bought the vx from a holden dealer and spoke to them today about spraying the skirts, the dealer said he can get them done through a guy he knows so hopefully its cheap

    pretty good find,,, there a little hard to come by these days. IMO colour code the side, front and rear skirts. An ss kit would look sweet, but maybe it really depends on what you like. From memory i thinks its Glen who has a VX ss kit on his calais in the same colour with no spoiler. That thing looks freeken sweet. But like i said.... it depends on what you like.

    I've always had a thing for the chrome strips around the window... it really finishes it off and adds a touch of class. Very hard to come by though.

    good luck with it!!!

    thanks dude i have been thinking of an ss kit lately, i was quoted about 1450 new from holden unsprayed.. what a rip. although being on here i'm sure i could put together a kit over time from second hand stuff and just get that sprayed to tungsten..

    just a quick update.. I managed to find some vy mirrors in good nic thanks to Burto89. Thanks mate!!



    He has some really good stuff from his VY wreck click here and have a look!! ---> Wrecking 03 VY Series 2 S-Pack Auto Ute!

    I'll be getting a quote for the spray of the mirrors sometime this week....

    On another note probably will go ahead with ss kit idea, its so hard to find second hand parts, anyone know someone who knows someone let me know? Lol
