Remove the chev badge mate...you don't run a chev engine. If you had an LS1 in there, go right ahead but in my opinion, keep the chev badge for those with a chev engine. The chev badge is......Sacred!

The chev badge is there because the old holden badge was rather weathered so i changed. Makes the car more unique imo.

It may make the car unique because it makes no sense on a v6? Please just remove it and plug the holes or get a new lion because its a holden and not an Ls1. Even then Im not a fan of rebadging Holden as Chevs (have some pride for your home countries brand).

Please dude, please.

Nah mate. The badge stays. All my mates know me as the guy with the chev badge and I like it (the badge that is) so I'm not going to change it for other peoples sake.

I do have a strong Holden pride but I also believe that a guy/girl can do whatever (S)HE wants to his/her car. Everyone has their own opinions.

I know what you mean about trying to make your car stand out. I can understand that.

I was thinking of a kit but decided against it. If it were just an exec or something like that then maybe but not to a Berlina. If anything, I will try to make it look a bit more like a VZ Calais (Head lights and Tails). Thats about it.

well done man nice car
go with the superlows all round once your on unrestricted licence I reckon!
and 17 inch wheels are still good and tyres arent too expensive!
twin dump tips on the rear would look sweet as by the way.
A good cheap mod but effective is to replace parkers with LED wedge types, looks sweet as and only about 10 bux


Cheers,
VT97Calais

Thanks mate.

I'm getting a few quotes for a single 2.5" lukey catback with center only. I thought a twin would cost to much and drone. After the catback I want some 1.9:1 rockers but insurance is an issue there considering I cant do it legally because of restrictions.

What are the LED things your talking about? Pics? Where would I buy em?

dual exhausts look cool, but a single will perform better for you on a 6

LED parkers are an instant defect

for air intake, an SS inductions kit goes very well. pod systems look nice but without a heat shield they work against you

Well there is a slight change in plans. My parents have decided that if I want the car, I have to buy it from them. Of course I can't afford it atm so i will have to pay them back over 2 years or so, depending if I can find a job. This also means that any mods I had planned are now on hold so I can save for the actual purchase of the car.

The car will still be mine, it might just take a bit longer than expected.
