Spotted this today in a car-yard.

The person that did this should be shot.

Any comments welcome..

Apologies about the poor quality pic, was shooting into the sun.

Tom/WA proud owner of a 'real' SV6.

Its an exec with all the exec goodies, but it has a wing and an SV6 badge. Nothing else SV6 on it...wheels, kit, lights, engine etc.

OK cheers, I only saw the pic from the rear. not really into the "newer" commies so I don't know about all that buisiness. Why do people try to put the con on like that. sell it like it is i say

interesting how it has black behind the number plate....vz execs have paint back there, the sports models have the black plastic like that. its clearly an exec otherwise

also does it annoy anyone else how most dealers put their crappy bit of black plastic with their name on it around every number plate they get their hands on? soo tacky

would it be wrong to remove a VZ SV6 badge and replace it with a VE SV6 badge? just looking at the badges the VE looks better styled with the S like the VT was when released. not like the VZ with its awful straightline S design

Nah that'd b alright man, its still an SV6

after i bought it i said i would like them off when i come pick up saturday and they said no worries....
guess what they were still there.....so i started the car up to get warm and with the salesman and his boss next to me i ripped them off....handed them to them and said see ya

i'd like to get myself and SV6 OR SS VZ that is and change the badges with the VE ones that look hell sweet and aint stickers like the VS or just an oval shape like VT. thought vx where abit sparkly for my liking. but each to there own what are others ppl's thoughts? i agree the advert which goes around the number plate total rubbish

Stretchomatic · #11 04-09-2006, 09:32 PM

i love the VX S and SS badge, it's slick as, the VY/Z ones suited the angular shape of them, i like the VE ones alot.

maybe the owner thought it stood for 'Stock V6'...

Here's another pic of an SV6 that the same car-yard had parked near the first car..

Can anybody spot what's missing off this genuine SV6?

Looks like somebody farked up big-time!!

Total knobs!

As far a stuff ups at holdens go(it's a good 1 tho') A run of exec's went thru with FEII b4 the other 1/2's brother noticed as a factory operator.
4 that he got promoted to supervisor....
Maybe it's a whole sv6 boot, just happened 2 be the same colour?
