Thats a sexy ute lol is that interior the stock colour?
Looks awesome Matt
awsome ute man if u dont mind me asking, how much did u pay for this beast?
thanks guys!
i bought her for 22 excluding all the vic roads fees, stamp duty all that crap.
nah thats not the factory colour, it came with cloth coulsens but started buying mods before i got the bloody tthing lol, i found the leather coulsen trims on ebay had had to have them! i think it might have been an optional leather trim in the vx gts range or something....
"The flight is gonna be a little longer than we've expected, uh we've got some very strong head winds, gigity"

will have to bring her to a mini friday
also in the process of painting the power steering bottle and cooler bottle because that other colour is horrid

hey mate nice maloo there, rims set it off oooooooooooohhhhh and the bags look tuffnot a fan of the spoiler on the hardcover tho???

thanks mate, yeah i did have the wing off at one stage (refer to upper images) but having grommets there and a mark where the wing used to sit put me off, so i put it back on and now are rather fond of it lol. helps me reverse too, and kind of unique in a way, the r8's being the only models in the maloo range with a wing.
also have put new P/S bottle and Coolant bottle in, nothing much but makes the bay look cleaner alll in black
"The flight is gonna be a little longer than we've expected, uh we've got some very strong head winds, gigity"
Mate them rims really set the car off! especially with it dropped to the ground
the only thing that bugs me is the maloo badge (on the back i think). I reckon put one of the ve maloo badges on, it will look heaps cleaner.
EDIT: yeh leave the wing on, looks sweet
Just found this on facebook.. in the knox cruise night group.
