2004 VYII Berlina

[luke641]

Umm with mine i cut all the tabs off, and used some black screws and araildite to attach it.. But.. Going off your pics.. You have a piece in there atm.. So you have to take the rear bumper off and take the current peice out, then clip the new on in. and then either drill the holes for the reflectors. Or Cut the reflector tabs off and arieldite them on like i did.

Would cops in a town of around 3,000 population really hassle me for this?

[luke641]

Depends on their mood. But it looked 100 times better with the reflectors. Totally worth it.

[DarkEnvy]

If worse comes to worse i'll get a defect and be forced to fix it, it's not at the top of my priorities list yet. Just hope i don't get bugged about it cause cops around here can be a bit iffy.

I know of a set of 20' Pentas for sale.. $1700.. In wollongong,nsw, (just outa syd) though.

I'm getting a 2 1/2" with a hotdog at the back.

And i'm still unsure of what rims i want, so confusing. I have 2 sets of rims already, but if i find a set that i reckon will suit my Vy and the price is right i will probably pounce. more pcs coming when work gets done.

[DarkEnvy]

Put king springs SL's all around, new exhaust 2 1/2" with hotdog at the back, sounds pretty neat, fitted calais tail lights, put on the verde rims, but looking at buying new rims with a budget of around $1300 with tyres.

Thinking of painting engine coveres when i get bored but dunno what colors

Where did you pick up the VZ Calais lights from, and for how much? Looking at getting some for my VY Berlina too.

[luke641]

Have you thought about VE 60th anniversary rims.. Reckon they would look good.

ebay $385 plus postage, couldn't find any for sale privately.

I didn't think VE rims fitted onto a vy. but i'll check it out, thinking of getting VZ monaro replicas.

Not in stock from.. Most tyre shops will make them fit. Need the hub machined out 2mm. Can DIY, but if you make them unbalance thats not cool. Cost about $40 a wheel for the machining at a shop...

AND GET RID OF THAT SPOILER! KGO

[DarkEnvy]

Yeah i hate the spoiler, but don't want holes in the boot. I know there is ways around that by welding but I have other stuff I wanna get done to her first.

chasing a set of rims that will look good at the moment.

[luke641]

Depends.. But seeing as your have the black strip in there atm.. This is how you do it. I did it differently as i didnt have the strip already there...

1. Take the bumper off, and there are about 10? tabs that hold the current garnish in place.. Undo these all, by squeezing in etc, Just make sure you dont damage the bumper..
2. Once its off, put the new Honeycomb, Calais garnish in place, might need to cut some of the tabs off if there isnt a hole for them. (No a big deal, provided you have a most other clips holding in place, the spot i think that will need this done is the part behind the reflectors.)
3. Once that is in place, you can either drill holes in the bar for the reflectors, or Cut all the tabs off on the reflector, inc the round one, and then areldite it onto the bar. Make sure you make a good mix of the glue, and keep pressure on it for 5mins+. I used tape the first time, and it didnt hold it, causing me to have to start again. Also, Try to leave the car as is for at least 12hrs, longer the better, 24hrs is ideal.
4. Put the bumper back on and enjoy the new, classier look..

NOTE: I dont take any responsibility if you stuff up and brake something, or your self.

Also, just noticed your have a S2 Calais front lip, and grill (possibly whole font bar) - Im jealous
Since it has that, it now needs VZ Calais/SS Skirts and VZ Calais Bumper extensions. (see my thread for a pic of extensions)

And as for painting engine cover, a satin black would look good.

And get ride of those mud gaurds dude. haha

[DarkEnvy]

thanks, I'll give it a go over the weekend i reckon.

[DarkEnvy]

Thinking of getting some custom plates, and maybe some new dark headlights (VZ calais or SS). Ideas for custom plates?

Still need to get that damn spoiler off too!
