Bargin bro, im getting my hands on a vx soon!!

How many k's has it done?? Did it cost that much to buy ..cause of the dents? Or the k's?

[StanVX]

Hey Goon, yeh mann a dam nicee car teh VX, mine was discounted from like $7800 down to $6800 cos he dented it while it was for sale, then i went over and bargained a further $600 off it to get it to $6200 cos of the couple scratches and stuff, panel, and the sideskirts... which may i say ddi not cost me anything just required a bit of manpower and a damp cloth :-P
The km's are 185,000 so aren't really high for a commodore and also aint really low.
Hope this helped you out!

[Goon]

Sweet!!! looks so nice mate, i love the colour!!

supercharge hehehe! get some pimpin seat covers

Can't wait to see what she looks like in the future, the comp setups going to be hot

[wobbly]

out of interest what did you use to restore the side skirts on your vx?

[StanVX]

Well, i just used a fairly dry but still damp rag and scrubbed, it took me a bloody long time although really was worth it, and then once they had no more white on them
I used Armorall Protectant which really made it shine and brought out the black even more.

nice work with the skirts.. and just a question where can i get myself some chrome buttons?

[StanVX]

Hey nick thanks mate, the chrome buttons i got from holden dealership... they are for the calias im pretty sure, There is a thread somewhere which says the part numbers.
they were like $45 at the holden dealer :-S a bit expensive.

G'day mate what brand is that and where could I get one?
Fits perfect in that slot and I've just recently bought an identical car and was looking as GPS units.

HEy man, its not really a branded headunit, it is a Carpc
In the headunit area it is just a screen which i surrounded with a frame, then there is a actual pc else where.

I built my own but here is a link to similar things
