Nice work. Post some pics when the new rims go on.

Very very nice!!! Those wheels and that bitchin' stripe turn an otherwise conservative new car into a street machine!

Those rims will look mad on the VL mate. They're top rims but I've never seen them on a VL so should be fairly unique. Lookin forward to seeing the end result.

Okay, I took the garnish that sits between the tail-lights off last weekend and ran a bead of silicone around the top before fixing back on. FIXED!!! I can't believe so much water was coming in through those tiny holes. We've had a fair bit of rain since then and I haven't noticed a drop in the...

Yeah, looks excellent. The colours are schmick and would probably look even better in real life (more mauve without the sun reflecting). I wouldn't go for the rear wing, think it might be a little overdone. Also, the tali-lights... can't you get those with black (instead of silver) inserts...

Thanks guys. That's a few things to think about. It pissed rain all night last night and consequently my boot is "full" of water. The spare wheel arch is full and the carpet is dripping. I got my friend to get in there on the weekend and I hosed all around it with nothing happening. F**k it's...

Where'd you get those done and how much $, not that it would go well with mine but worth knowing for future reference.

Yeah, I was referring to the one in VR_Project's post. You can buy them on eBay. Maybe I'll just go the VR/VS clubby-type HSV badges. Looking for something different as I'm sick of the regular chrome style ones

Got any interior pics? That grey is schmick as - nice glossy look.

Jeebers, look at the camber on those back wheels - man, you're gonna get some wear on the rubber there! An absolutely brilliant ride though. Very neat - not too overdone. You've pulled it off well. Those gauges are probably the best examples of aftermarkets I've seen in a VR/VS too. Work!

Dunno mate, they were on the car when I got them. They're pretty bright (I haven't hit a tree yet so they do the job!) and I think they retail for upwards of $50 a globe, depending on where you buy them from.

Nice ride mate. I always liked the look of the VN/VP dumped with the square wheel arches. That pic with your car in front of the rock wall looks great too. Where was it taken?

That is one suh-weet ride man. Thos rims really set it off and it's so tidy. Are those chrome door handles on the interior? Can't quite see. One nice ride anyway!

Hey, nice car mate. Nice and clean. Pretty good for an L plater - lots of potential. The interior is in top nick and that second pic under the bridge looks great. Top work.

Well, it's not from the rear quarter windows. I go the guy from Windscreens O'Brien out on the weekend and he said they'd already been re-sealed and were in perfect condition. I do have a boot spoiler but I can't see it getting in there - it doesn't run out of the boot when I open it. It gets...

i've got the same problem too. I got the Windscreens O'Brien guy out today to have a look cause I thought he'd need to reseal both back 1/4 windows as I thought that's where it was getting in from but he assured me they'd already been re-sealed and nothing was getting in. He showed me the nuts...

Obviously either no-one has thought of/done this or no-one thinks it's a good idea? I just like the look of the new chrome HSV badges.

Yeah, what happened to the rims?

G'day guys. Just wanted to know if anyone had whacked a VY/VZ chrome HSV bonnet/boot badge on their VS, and more importantly whether it fits or not. I know with the older HSV badges you can bend them slightly to fit the curve of the bonnet/boot but if the VY/VZ ones are chrome then I'm not too...

Yeah, great job of the interior mate. How much did it set you back, if you don't mind me asking? The colours contrast each other well. As the other guys said, only need a good set of 18s now and it'll be one really nice ride!

Man, that Monaro bonnet would be worth the bucks... looks sweet as! Top work on the rest of the mods, looking forward to the updates.

Cheap mods are cai and k&n. After that they only get more pricey. Maybe some more cosmetic mods too. Change the boot garnish etc... that is, if you Do want it to look more like a Holden?

All I can say is that it pumps!!!

Top work mate. Keep posting the pics, I'm enjoying reading about the 'makeover'! Look forward to seeing the end result.

Headlights look good, where'd you pick those up from? The VT style with the black surrounds.

Man, that engine bay is schmick! Everything looks brand new. How did you get it so clean?

Good stuff. Just dump it on its ass, whack in one of those letterbox grilles and get rid of the pinstriping and you'll be halfway there... Like the rims.

It's pretty obvious really - it pays to shop around!

Think I sent you a message a while back about your top ride but once again, top work mate. That is the straightest, cleanest VH goin' round. The interior is mint too. You must have a grin from ear to ear!

I always liked that colour. Good luck with it mate. Look forward to seeing future pics...

Yeah, mine drops a fair bit lower with a full tank - that's why I haven't lowered the ass any further. Think it's about 110mm without anyone in the car. It's something like 100mm with a full load - you'd haveta look up what exactly a full load is but I'm thinking it's at least spare tyre, driver...

Damn that's a nice car. Beautiful rich colour and the rims set it off - the chromies look good on the red. Did you do the silver colouring on your dash/console yourself cause you really pulled that off a treat too. Top work.

Tidy ride mate. Maybe drop it on its guts a bit more... but depends whether you like the stiff ride or not.

Nice car Bec. Do you have any recent pics, your Avatar looks different (can looks lower and new rims?)

Be interested to hear from someone who has installed one... where did you get it from and how hard was it to install? Pics would be good too. Just wondering as it sounds great.

Man, those chrome Stato ones look mad!

You'd have to do a good job if you sprayed them (ie, good preparation, paint and coating etc) as they're probably the most handled part of the exterior. Good luck if you're gonna have a shot... I'd like to hear how it goes.

Looks alright mate, you can get the exhaust 'lifted'? The lowest part of my car is the cat and if i could get it lifted I could get the car lowered at the rear more (currently superlows) so it's sitting even and still be legal

I like it! I agree with Stewart1000 though, kit looks huge from the front but might look better when it's propped up a bit rathe than on its guts. There's not a lot else you could do other than new wheels. If it were me I would maybe look at adding one of those small "boot-lip" spoilers and if...

too bad the VS front springs don't fit? - I've got a spare set that you could have for free.
