thanks mate i will put more pics up but i gonna put my 20s on and see if they look better than the cv8s

[rhysdalegend]

Very nice mate, couldn't take my eyes off it at apco before cruise for charity!

Did you get your p's before the new laws came out? Noticed the red p's haha

[waynep91]

na but id be on my greens if i didnt keep losin me license

[waynep91]

here a new pic wot ya think

[boordy_23]

Looks good mate, the colours of the tint/headlights and chrome of the body and rims all mix nicely

[DSLXIK]

looks good man, the 20's look great, have you considered painting the dish part of the wheel to match the car?

[waynep91]

yea i have bud but the rims are pretty scrathed so i was thinking maybe black pentagons with machined face and red wall tyres what you think

[DSLXIK]

yeah cant go wrong with pentagons on a vy/vz

It sucks that I wasn't a rebel enough to drive a V8 illegally

You just take the 'V8' badges off and spray paint 'V6 ECOTEC' on the engine cover. Nobody can tell that its a V8 then

[waynep91]

take the plates off then coppers think your invisible unles you bein a hoon and i just got third party coz technically you can own a v8 you just not allowed to drive it

I know what you mean. I bought my V8 Calais a month before I got my full licence. I called up insurance to cover it for my girlfriend driving it and they mentioned that if I drive and had an accident I wouldn't be covered. So yes you're 100% right, you can own it, you just can't legally drive it.

And of course knowing my luck (having been pulled over randomly once on my P's), it would run out and I would get pulled over and busted

[DSLXIK]

you can take off as many badges as you want, when they run your plates it'll still come up as a v8
if you take your p=plates off that just risks another 3-6 month suspension "when" not if, you get busted

[waynep91]

yea but if dont do any thing to catch there attention or if the car looks roadworthy they have no reason to run your plates

[fyfee]

Don't they just randomly do it to any car they see? If you're the only one on the road at the time...

Anyway, I'm glad I've got my full licence lol

Hey Wayne so if you crash, your not covered? correct?

They do right up until their license or car is taken from them.

neat car, very nice.

P plate with a V8 when it's illegal/insurance/stupid/run plates/not worth it.

this just feels needed...

[Kieran263]

I'll ignore the whole P plate thing for now(me being a p plater and following the law to a tee, and this pissing me off a little, not heaps but a little)
Very clean looking car, personally I like the CV8's much better than those 20's.

[waynep91]

thanx for the feed back guys and i know it stupid. but i got another car if i get caught dring this and na i not covered for full comp insurance but i got 3rd party
