    Default Troys old 2005 VZ S Ute. Calais front, SS sides

    Ok, I know I already have a thread for my Ute but there is too much chat in there so I am starting a new one.

    This is my '05 S Ute. When i can be bothered ill put more details in... so read the specs for more details.


    Current mods/extras:
    Holden factory mats
    Red highlighted engine covers
    Debadged
    20% window tint
    Factory SS strut brace
    SS/Calais spec headlights
    Calais front bumper
    Calais lower grill insert
    Calais driving lights
    Calais chrome bonnet mould
    SS front gaurds and flutes
    Lowered on Lovells SuperLows
    18 x 8 Advanti Vivid wheels
    Depo Black LED tail lights

    Future mods:
    DBA Slotted Brakes



    Anyway, here is some pics. All pics were taken before the windows were tinted











    SS headlights, driving lights and lower grill installed




    With 18 inch Advanti Stalkers (They were on my VS ute)




    Interior Pics





    Two pics of the painted engine covers and strut brace




    My speed camera pic


    Lowered with Lovells Superlows




    Lowered, with 19 inch HP Design Fusions

    You have reccomended better wheels than those to other members! But hey, that is one hot ute. I'm a big fan of the speed camera pic too. Thats awesome. Actually, I think the rims look pretty ok on it. As long as you like them, right?

    Looking good Troy !!!... IMO it needs different taillights or get those on it tinted to spice the back up !

    finger licking good troy, are the ss/calais/clubsport rear lights darker for the utes as they are for sedans eg SV6 rear lights are a lot redder, ss ones darker?

    Anways, thats a nice lookin ute mate, nice ride hieght as well. Any plans for a hard cover for the tray like a thunder top?

    I thought the VY series 2 tail lights were the same as the VZ ones?????

    She's looking good btw....... have thought of lowering mine, but I tend to take it off road every now and again as well as carrying a few heavy loads...... as mentioned any plans for a hardtop? they set utes off that bit better IMHO.
