Future mods:

paint the bonnet and put some mesh in the scoops

put my superlows and camber kit in
19 inch rims, white wall tyres
colour code the skirts on my bumpers and sides
fix up my panel damage
leather interior
paint the dash
maybe do a front and back vx calais bumper / light conversion.
either that or save up for a cv8z kit
...and that is all.
would like to do a manual conversion but would be cheaper selling mine and buying a manual vt
would also like to do an ls1 conversion when i get off my p's... but same as above lol

If your gonna go exhaust and u wanna be a funny **** get extractors, put a straight through piece of pipe to bypass your cats n dont worry about rear mufflers. Sack it on its ass on stockies and it will be sik.

[666vt]

headlights and bonnet are on, bonet needs to be painted tho, and gotta stick the mesh in the flutes, its matt black.

haha yeah deffinately take off the mudflaps mate =P

heaps of mud came out from behind mine when i took em off, dead set filthy.

[coo dawg]

bonnet and lights look WICKED!!

[nicko]

monaro lights look very nice mate but not a fan of the bonnet. Still a good starting point though

[Mc Nugget]

are there any monaro lights that suit a VX bumper (teardrop style?)

why's that mate? cos its not painted and the mesh isnt in? or u just dont like monaro bonnets? i actually wanted to get a full custom bonnet but i got this bonnet for a bargain so i snapped it up, i reckon it should look good once i get it painted.

cheers for your opinion mate, i agree the monaro lights look sweet on any vt, especially dark ones. i love em.

[nicko]

im just not a fan of those bonnets lol. i just reakon that if you have a use for the vents they should be there but if they dont do anything then they are like v8 badges on a v6. I dont even like them on the genuine factory monaro. So yeh i jst dont like that bonnet U looking that getting some rims? or maybe some series 2 calais grills?

[BANKS]

Those headlights make a huge improvement over the stocko ones.

Once you pay the bills off, grab yourself an SS kit. The front bar looks a bit out of place with the bonnet. Get the front grill all fixed up. Paint the little white bits in the bonnet black you they dont stand out so much, and get grills for them.

Tint and lower the bitch aswell

+ debadge

lol, good car thou mate! keep us posted

yeah mate on the hunt for rims now.. not sure if i should get some nice black ones, either way they will be 19's.

as for the grille, im just gonna put the factory ones back in until i get a kit for it, was thinking a vx clubby kit and they have a grille in them already.

cheers mate

[brawlr]

dont go the clubby kit mate, too many sixes goin around with them imo. go the monaro(i.e. cheetr) looks a lot more classy.

yeah monaro kit was my other option mate, nice and round shaped.
if i had the money id buy a kit and design something custom, but im lacking funds and creativity. cos if i get a monaro kit itll look like ive tried to make a mock up naro.. but oh well naros are sick anyways lol

[nicko]

666vl, i second the monaro kit idea. everything but the spolier will look mint.

exactly stuff that lol

Do monaro kits fit VX's? look around at wreckers

[dzire]

What sideskirts would you use? I thought the monaro was shorter therefore the sideskirts would be too short?

yeah they would be shorter... but the monaro kits on ebay are made to fit vt's and vx's so the sides must be customized.. dunno what sideskirts i like, they are all too flashy for me, bit too 'ricer' if u know what i mean, just want some plain sideskirts lol anyone know some nice sideskirts? nothing with vents and crap in them..
