[SWEETVS]

hehe cheers mate. yeah just a long exposure shot and the use of a small led torch to write out the lettering (not very well but ya get the idea lol)

[Jest3r]

Looks awesome, .. the "sweet vs" lettering with the LED looks awesome.

[SWEETVS]

Gave it a good cut/polish yesterday and she's come up very nice indeed. Car looks brand new again!

Heres the pics:

[G33]

Nice ride, had no idea that u could still get the cosmo purple colour. Im guessing only in the lumina models for VZ?

Hey question what type of globes did u get for the headlights? Cause i got white parkers now but i want some white/blue ones for the headlights without spending the money on a HID kit. Where did you get yours from?

[SWEETVS]

Cheers mate. The Cosmo paint was only a limited run on the VZ Lumina's with only a handful being painted in it before it going obsolete. So we're pretty lucky to have found one and in such good nick too. The globes are from ebay mate. I bought a bulk lot of them a while ago from a seller on there. Just do a search for ultra blue H4 headlight globes. Hope that helps mate. BTW youve got a fine example of a VZ SV6 too Love your rims and the photos are tops.

Come up nicely as usual Mike. Begging for a pair of WK Caprice indicators on the side flanks

[SWEETVS]

Cheers Damo. hmmm yeah never thought of that. Might have to look into it. I have also seen a VZ SV6 with the WM stato fender vents led indicators moulded into the guards too. They look sweet and they are just the right size to look factory on the VZ guards. Ive got a couple of sets at home. i may use one of them yet......

[VZnewbie]

mate u could hav just said it was a stock vz lumina..
still a nice car tho

[GAMBLR]

There's no pride in saying it's just a stock VZ Lumina though mate... And besides, it's not totally stock :P

[SWEETVS]

Thats it... its not 100% stock so thats why its "custom". Its a WIP so of course there will be more mods to come in the future. But with a bubs on the way, kinda makes it hard to spend all your time on a car... Cheers anyways guys

[SWEETVS]

Not much happening on the mods front lately as ive had bills coming out my ass and the bubs is a priority. On a better note.... i am looking to sell my VS to make way for the new beasty soon hehe

[SWEETVS]

Not much to update. Gave it a good service today Im surprised at how easy it is to change the oil/filter cartridge on the VZ's. Why holden didnt put the filter up the top of the motor sooner i dont know.... lol

[SWEETVS]

[GAMBLR]

Still looks as clean as ever Mike. I love how the colour looks in that picture :O makes me wish I had a purple car, just to look like that haha

[SWEETVS]

haha cheers. yeah well thats all thanks to a bit of photoshop Damo haha. I enhanced the colouring a bit as it looked a bit dull in the original hehe

[SWEETVS]

Well had to take the car into the mechanics today to get a coil pack replaced as one of them had shit itself. Car had been driving like shit for a few weeks now, but finally crapped itself when my missus was driving home from work yesterday. Had the coil pack, plugs and intake manifold gasket replaced and she drives so much better now! I cant believe how much more responsive the thing is. Guess i was just used to driving it with a bit of a sluggish response. Now its like a new car again.

anyways other than that, not much on the mods front, but there will be some updates shortly once we get our finances in order with the build of our new house.

[Ignited-SV6]

I love when theres a new thread with great pictures. Great photography skills mate!

Love what you've done with it.

[SWEETVS]

Cheers mate, glad to see someone appreciates it Its still pretty much stock for now as im waiting to get my new car for more mods to start happening Gotta finish building our house first though. Priorities.... priorities lol

[tim005]

very clean car mate, killer shots too.
when you say long exporsure how long was it mate?
what kind of aperture dfid you use?
they look so good with the led torch.
i wanna attempt some of these pics too.

[SWEETVS]

cheers mate, to be honest i dont recall. i think it was about 30 sec exposure. Aperture we didnt really play with much at all. The led torch was Todd's idea. We had a stand alone flash that we used to light up the area a bit better. But like i said we're no pro's lol

for "no pro's" you guys took some killer photos.
i'll have to have a go myself mate.
good luck with the car, she is a ripper.

[SWEETVS]

haha cheers mate. the feedback is appreciated Like i said, its mainly a daily at this stage for the missus but its clean, drives well and i love it (so does the missus, until i get my new car, then i'll have to put her in her place haha)
