Ok, I am looking at buying either a VY Calais cluster for my VY Acclaim / SS / Calais / VZ lmao Whats the go? I have heard something about "blue" and "grey" sockets at the back, which is for which series? I.e. Blue - Series 1, Grey - Series 2, or is it the other way around? And does...

I would forget king springs all together, they are a rubbish quality spring, they have a high manufacturers fault rating, use Lovells - much higher grade, and u will find that suspension shops that know what they are doing will recommend them. I spent $1200.00 on my suspension set up. I got a...

To the above asked question about the ebay spotties: DO NOT BUY THEM, THEY ARE SHIIIITE!! They dont fit quite right. They "stick out" of the space provided in the bar. I.e. when you look at the car from the side, the aftermarket spot lights will "poke out" of the bar. Instead of sitting...

whats the damage (to my wallet) for a set up including extractors and a 2.5 single muffler system? I quite simply "cut out" my rear muffler from the original system, welded 2.5" pipe that leads to tips, sounds gr8 but i think ive lost a tad of back pressure, under heavy accelerating it blurts...

Hi I drive a VY. Ran over a big dog. Broke my VY SS front bar badly. Mate from work is selling VZ Calais front bar. I want to buy it. Along with VZ SS head lights. Do i need to buy a VZ bonnet too? What do you think?

kinda off the topic but still on it, the ebay foglights SUCK they do not sit properly on the bar - if u notice on the pictures displayed its a sort of "birds eye view" they do not sit "in" the holes provided on the bar as the original SS ones do ... they kinda poke out it looks stupid. Just a...

A few nights ago I was dropping a friend off at home after a mates get together, driving along a near by road, doing roughly 80 - 90 kmph, caught up in conversation, a Staffy ended up running on to the road and therefore (infront of my car) ... the dog died on impact ... so did my front bar...

check out the suspension and wheels thread IMO - 18s .. too small 19s .. better than 18s but still a tad small (UNLESS W.WALL TYRES ARE USED ... somehow makes wheels look bigger) and 20s ... too big + tyre price is ridiculous!

hehe yeah that was my thred, yup yup - if you're going vy to vz or vice versa the looms need to be changed, if you're going sI to sII no need. :)

:ranting::ranting::ranting::ranting:... a lot of time went into that thread, in regards to posting pictures up and making em smaller, there were no insulting images or nothing .. where has it gone?!?!?!??!!?!

i could have sworn they were the same...

give it a figet, make sure all the connections are in properly, mine required a bit of a "love tap" to get them to sit properly. Also check that your boot lining isnt in the way of the black part of the light. Mine fit as tight as a glove... You have a VZ though ... it should fit perfectly...

I've purchased a pair, - not paying $250 for legit ones. However i have no clue in regard to installation .. and they're not a perfect fit either :ranting: Has anybody else purchased em? How have you gone with installation? Please help me out.

no problems mate, let us know how it goes, post a few pics too;)

Yeah you can do it to an S1 SV8, the body panels and light dimensions are perfectly transferrable. When you go to the dealer, just ask for "VZ SS tail lights, and a pair of VZ SS wiring looms. Im in the Melbourne metro area, If you need a hand I'd be happy to oblige, It really is a 30 minute...

Hey guys, im getting an SS rear bar painted (along with the rest of the bodykit) however ill be doing the fitting my self :D What i need to know is the diameter to drill the reverse sensor slots in the rear bar. I.e. which drill bit to use, prior to the paint being applied? Does anybody know?

VY II Acclaim :D because i drive one! - Cant go wrong, however the vz imo come with better sound systems + the cool "Digital" speedo, as opposed to my cruddy Analogue one >_< hahaha ooh and also get a sliver one - they go faster
