- Installed Rear map lights

Stereo:
--------------

(Don't ask me what exactly, they came with the car)

- Debadged (except for holden badge on bonnet & boot)
- 17 inch VT SS rims
- Darkest Legal Tint
- 2.5" Cat Back Exhaust

Things to come..
----------------------
- Get the new bumper i bought primed, sprayed & fitted. (previous owner didn't drive with care)

Mods i'm contemplating:
---------------------------
- considered installing power windows, but it seems like too of a stuff around.
- Extractors... we'll see how the budget goes, she's got a nice tune already..
- Considering getting it lowered a tad, but we'll see..... it's bit pricey.. might as well do it to my next car, but i don't know yet..

heaps nice, very tidy first car

Not really a fan of a body kit or exhaust tip, some tapered twin tips and an ss kit would look awesome!

Look what happened to my poor baby..

I was parked on the side of the road in a residential estate in a designated parking spot and this dumb bit*ch reversed into my car!
my car is white and i was right near a lamp post, my car was very obvious.. how she didn't see it i don't understand..

dunno how how much damage she's done yet.. will find out soon i guess. thank god she has insurance.

that sucks I had some pretty bvad luck with my first car getting hit by stuff when it was parked. Mine got hit by a truck, when i got it back from repairs, same day someone reversed into the front, then about a year or so later a taxi hit it in the city :/

I just picked up my new car a few days ago and I'm so paranoid about where i park it its not even funny! Unfortunatly, no matter how much care we take, stuff like this still happends

Hope it's not too costly to fix up so you can enjoy it for a little while longer!!

that car looks mint

shame it was in a accident but im sure it will be better then ever once fixed

[NVMYVT]

nice looking first car, shame about the damage however it does look fairly minimal,,, i know it looks bad but it is however only the front quarter panel and a drivers door, both sourced very easily and installed quickly, might be lucky and be able to find them in the same colour, (just trying to lighten the mood)
we've just got our ss back from the repairers after an accident, but that needed the whole rear panel replaced aswell as suspension wheels brakes and a few other things, you got of good :P

all in all keep the updates coming, btw the bodykit looks great, and at least you kept the holden lion badges and didn't try to put chev badges on her :P

I just wrote a nice long reply and i lost it.. grrr...

I get her back wednesday, thursday at the lastest.. there was $2,600 worth of damage done.

there was a huge stuff around trying to have a car while i waited to get mine back. i cracked the shits with her insurance company and we finally came to a agreement, i got my mums car and she got a hire car.

It's been fun driving a completely stock standard vy exec with sheepskin seats covers for the past 2 weeks :P



on the plus side...I found a full conversion kit on ebay for pink lighting.. I haven't come across a how to guide on this site yet.. got any suggestions..

The seller mentions that if I want to have a pink dash light I need to remove the green filter, which can be done by lightly sanding or using acetone...
