Taking Wing Off Vz SV6

[Insane_Metal_Man_666]

Hi peoples

does anyone know if there is a guide on the forum as of yet to take the wing off the back of a Vz Sv6, just curious how hard it would be and what wires i would need to cut i guess...

Removing the wing and cutting the wires would that get rid of the rear parking sensor at all does anyone now at all ???

Cause i wanna have the whole sleek look to my vz sv6, so wanted to remove the wing and lower my ride

please let me know

pop the boot, there is 2 nuts either side of the the boot(you cant miss them),
as for the wiring, there is one small plug on the inside of the boot panel, sort of hard to decribe, but if you lift the boot up and have a look as if your trying to see the back of the number plate, on the drivers side there will be a small twin wire, which leads to the spoiler, un plug it, no need to cut

also has nothing to do with parking sensors so dont worry about that

It's extremely simple... All you need is a shifter, and NO wire's should be cut..

First pop the boot up, undo the 4 bolts, then remove the wing.
The brake light will be connected, so simply UNPLUG this! Do not cut it.. there is no need to...
BAM your done.

5 rubber grommets are then needed to fill the holes.. these can easily be found. (Bunnings, AutoBahn, SuperCheap)

Thinking of doing this to my car also and de-badging it. May sound like a silly question, but debadging a car would not reduce the market value of it would it? (only if you some how manage to f*%k it up.... and damage the paint yeah?) I mean srsly, badges are a dime-a-dozen

[Insane_Metal_Man_666]

It might to some people i guess... cause some people prefer to have a holden badge over a chev badge or no badges for that matter

Or just remove the SV6 & commodore badge

Well I think i am going to remove my wing off my black Vz Sv6 now this weekend and up up some pics a little later me thinks

[GTRwilson]

can anyone here comment on the grommets? Do they leak or are they a good seal? how long do they stay good for before they leak/fade ect?

I would prefer to find a white bootlid that never had a wing, and replace my SV6 one with it, but thats easier said than done

yeah mate that is what i am thinking as well hey.... i would rather a new black boot lid...

Yeah Paul, sorry fellas, should have specified which badges. Just the Commodore/Alloytec 190 and SV6 badges. Would leave the front and rear Holden badges of course BECAUSE ITS A HOLDEN! NOT A FKN CHEV !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[James_yo7]

if your going to do this its best to do it properly. if you use grommets you need to put them in very tight, but with that said, the process of getting them in tight can dint your boot if your not careful.
i did it to my car (VT but its the same process) and it really pays to just go that bit further and get it welded up, sanded and resprayed. sometimes its even cheaper then getting a whole new boot for it. and it turns out great

hahaha yeah thats right Ewok cant stand it how people do that ruins what a holden is

that can be done in 15 minutes there is a 'how to' thread about it on here somewhere just do a search

grommits look sooo tacky and dodge. either keep the wing or get it done properly. my wing has been removed, holes welded, debadged and where the locating holes for the lion badge have been welded.

have a dig through my my ride thread ( my signature has link) i took my boot completely off, gave it to my cousins b/f to do the job because i didnt want my car parked in a workshop for a week. rather it sit at my place.

Fark.... I love ya ride dude.... looks so so awesome makes me wanna do something like that to my ride... dont know if i would debadge it like that...

but love how it has tuned out looks amazing mate good work

[Ewok]

yeah, that is a hot VY. Saw something similar to it in Perth bout a month ago, guy didn't look like he'd be part of a car club, just someone who took care of his car. Was black VZ SS, de badged, no spoiler (holes closed properly etc) lowered, twin tipped exhaust, squatted nice for takeoffs n shit too. Darkest legal tint and the paint was immaculate, looked like he had it resprayed and clear-coated aswel. Black 18" rims similar to DVSV8. Was a bloody nice ride. I mean of course I don't have the performance aspect at the moment, though many would argue that the SV6 is more than enough power for a 6 these days as it is, I still want to clean mine up and take away a lot of the bling aspect from the badges and shit. Tidy is nice

[PhantomSV6]

any before and after pics? thinking of doing this myself.

is it just as easy to put it back on?

[Ewok]

hahaha yeah i dont see the point in taking off the badges and putting on the chev badges.... OMG it is a freeeeeeking holden people

[GTRwilson]

respray cheaper than a 2nd hand lid you say? Hmmmm might have to look into this one.

[Jimmy SV6]

yeah thats sounds like a good idea hey

[s65481]

with the brake light in the wing

i have a vy which is pretty much like a vz becides some minor changes

if i remove the wing...i have no top mounted brake light, does that make my car un road worthy

cause it doesnt have a shelf light like normal executives would

HELP!!! i dotn want cop trouble cause im already a P plater

[Kal123]

Yes it will make your car un road worthy. But the likelihood that you'd actually get done for it is very very slim.
