Nice tidy ride looking good so far keep up the good work mate.

[SP00KSTER]

nice car mate, you should get it lowered.

[Jonesy484]

nice ride, should loose the mud flaps, you got a great starting point there

[summerZ]

loose the mudflaps, lower, rims and give me your gearbox!? :P k thanks! hahaha..

[Needsy]

pretty much what everyone else has said and lose the spoiler especially if you lower it. otherwise good find quite jealous of the bodykit been looking for one for ages

[nzBrowny]

Appreciate the appreciation... cheers!
Yeh heaps of people say to ditch the spoiler...but i dunno eh. i kind of think it suits. seen a few without them on and some kind of make it look like a fat chicks backside. meh, each to
their own though i guess?
Bigger wheels are hopefully in the pipeline, keeping an eye on the classifieds for some vy or vz SS wheels. would lower it then but shes already pretty firm on it?
The mudflaps - damn i dunno bout them either. is there a problem with dirt and crap getting into the body panels if i remove them? also, did S packs come standard with them - i saw mine are stamped with 'SS' same as the foglights.

cheers for the input!

VX was used as a wedding car on the weekend with a mates tickford XR8. Despite it being a ford they didnt look too bad next to each other although i told him on more than one occasion
that no matter how much you polish a turd, its still a turd...
Heres a couple of pictures we took.

Developed a shudder under braking and found that the disks were beginning to warp and the pads were just about gone at the front. was able to score some slotted brake rotors and police spec pads for cheaper than what local holden could give me standard pads and skimming the rotors! fitted them up the other day at home and flushed out the old fluid, banged in some new stuff.
Looks mint and they seem to pull it up better, but that could just be a placebo sort of thing? but hey.
