great looking car... great starting point =)
need to drop it on super lows....would look awesome!

[TI3VOM]

I would say the color is Bermuda blue

[old mate]

haha lookin good mate, looks nice in photos

[Isaac]

VX Calais garnish is on!




Makes the rear end look sooo much nicer I reckon.

[nathanVY]

mate, that looks at least 800 times better with the VX garnish! well done looks great.
vx wheels suit it nice too.

[old mate]

looks killer mate, im glad i understood what part you were talking about at kaz that night, i was pretty wrecked.

[Isaac]

Haha, yeah that happens. Trivia night was rigged, stupid cheaters on there phones! should do it again sometime.

[old mate]

kill them all.

how do you get your pics to look so good? mine are always epic fails. good camera?

[Isaac]

nah man, I just take alot of pics from lots of angles, eventually you're bound to get a good one. I also like to take them in overcast days, just looks nicer for some reason.

@nathanwright, Thanks man!

[Isaac]

Added a statesman badge on the front and statesman centre caps, now all I need is one for the back and the set is complete, never seen this done before though, so if anyone knows anything about it let us know.

Anyhoos, here some pics cause I got bored.







Expect a major update in the next couple of weeks. Got a VX SS kit and VZ mirrors being painted as I speak. Can't wait till they're on there! will make a hell of a difference.

looks good

yeah the stato badges has been done already, just i haven't see any one do it with the center caps tho

just so you know if you got the full ss kit because you have the calais tail lights with the reflectors in them you dont need them on your rear bumper, if you get them removed and covered before you get it painted the car look 10x cleaner

[VX21]

looks good mate, nice clean car. I agree the calais garnish makes it look amazing. Did u buy the silver bar fro the garnish separate or with it, im trying to locate one, holden wanted $120 for it!!!!!! RIP OFF

Did you get VX SS headlights with your SS kit cause they would look amazing!

[Chilly]

Hey mate, looks nice and tidy did you get the garnish from Holden, also how much did it cost you?

Nah, didn't think that could be done. Might think of doing down the line if it really bothers me.

Yeah calais garnishs really set off the back end. The silver bar came with it. I would keep an eye out at wreckers and on ebay, 120 is a tad steep, they do make a difference tho.

And yeah, I got the SS headlights too! not the genuine product, but a dam fine reproduction. Should look the goods when I put them on!

Hey mate, looks nice and tidy did you get the garnish from Holden, also how much did it cost you?

Nah, got it off a guy who was wrecking a car. Paid 250 for the garnish and the lights, and then it cost me 50 bucks to get the garnish painted. Also had to get some VX wiring looms cause I was upgrading from a VT. Got these from holden and they were pretty dear, 44 bucks each. Worth it though I reckon.


Should be picking up the kit tomorrow and installing it this week, Will update with pics then.

[old mate]

will be looking mint man, who did you get to spray it again'?

[Isaac]

Ron warry. He's been under the pump, so it's still not done yet, But hopefully it will be done ready for me to put it on this weekend

[old mate]

ahh righto. you'll have to get onto that exhaust soon too!

[Isaac]

Bit of an update, VX SS front and rear bars on, VT SS Skirts, VZ mirrors. Pretty dam happy with the finish, rest of the car needs a good tidy up now, haha.






Just rolling on dressed up stockies atm whilst funds regenerate, looking into getting some 18" VZ Monaro/SSZ Rims, but before that comes Rego renewal, Tint and Exhaust!

Big shout out to 'old mate' aswell for helping me with the skirts and wheels trims!!

[old mate]

she scrubbed up pretty good

[Isaac]

[old mate]

haha def worth it, i went home after dinner, no beers for me tonight.

[Isaac]

Thanks dyer, beers this weekend no doubt tho

Obviously looking for a set of foggies too if anyone has some lying around...

[mayes]

are the vy/vz mirrors a straight swap for vt/vx? or is there modding needed, looks good might do it myself

[Isaac]

Straight swap mate, takes about half an hour, biggest pain is getting the door cards off.
