how did you go with re-attatching them, just but some 3M double sided tape or something and cut it out? or would it just be easier to buy new badges with it already on the back?

that front grill and bar is boss man!!!

good to see it's on its way. though make sure when they weld on the new front rails that you go an check the welds. i made the panel shop re-do one of mine when this happened because it had a few pits in the weld even after it was ground back. no offence to any panel beaters on here but they are...

ha. if it was anything recent wouldn't you be asking yourself why it was only 'keeping up'.

how will they ever get a roadworthy?

i'd grab 2, 3mm SSV please but if there is someone that'll miss out ill just grab one

your petrol is over $2 a litre?

i cant remember exact firgure but i have made it over 73L's, looked at the bowser and thought to myself WTF!!

60ish km's. it gives you another warning after low fuel 'very low fuel' which usually is a good indictaion you really should be heading towards a servo. but you can get about 10 km's out of that i think.

that seams expensive yeah. location would be a big factor though..

12k seems cheap, although no airbag and dash work might bring that down. this is no doubt what you get to look forward too.

before after sorry about the pics. they werent taken specifically for this

got my SSV when i was 19 and only paying $1600ish with AAMI. seem pretty good, especially with the repair work and that when i smashed her. not looking forward to it going up after the claim but

fitted mine last night. definately looks 10 times better!

i'd take a stab at saying they will cut the front rails and weld new ones on just past the rear most dimples for the crumple zone

scroll down 10ish threads first maybe http://forums.justcommodores.com.au/ve-holden-commodore-2006/168455-iq-upgrade-holden.html

you could in the other thread just down the page on em

It was a magna wagon. Didn't even touch the brakes so maybe thats why mine went off. Still suprising that at 80 they didn't go off

firstly ouch. secondly your on the money with it being a repair job. they will spend a lot on it to fix it but wont write it off. have a look at some of the pics in my profile of mine when i did it at 65, both front airbags went off which makes me wonder why yours havn't. i'd definately look...

how'd you go rooster?

yeah i've had this happen as i'm constantly flicking it in and out when i've got it in my hand + dropping it and the like. i took it in and they replaced the actual key part under warranty, not the whole remote. works fine now

Hi all, has anyone else seen the article on the new VF in the May edition of Wheels magazine? Opinions? I for one now ill definately be trading up once they are released.

haha cheers. thought it would be, i just hadnt seen a pic of underneath. will give it a go tomoz and see what i can turn up

damirgenije do you have a picture of the underside profile that you could put up? hopefully make myself a pair this week at work.

do you happen to have any pic's that you could post at all?

yeah i know this, i got satin black. and i hate gloss and shiny ****, which is why i got a white one and have painted the shiny bits satin black as well. i was just pointing out that solid black wheels will sometimes look like steels

powder coating is the way to go, $65 ea. even though my now black wheels look like steels from a distance on my SSV, i reckon they look tops but. just need to do those hidious calipers now

ah why wouldn't you just repair the puncture for like $20?

seems dodge to me. tell them your unhappy and that you would like to see another car with this option or get them to show you a picture. ask for the service manager and see what he thinks, and if you dont like what he says go to the GM of the dealaership. ask them if they'd be happy with it...

yeah new exhaust smell for sure. they may have also used a liquidish flange sealant instead of just a gasket on the flanges which would give off a funny smell the first few times it heats up.

those 4 clips arent pushed all the way in. got to get your hand in behind the grill by taking out the pin/clips things on top and push that #### in while supporting from behind.

I bought a VE 60th anniversary SV6 ute when i turned 18 and was insured with CGU, there premium was $2100 a yr (which at the time thought was a good price cause no one was gonna touch me for a V8 for anything under 5k). It came up for renewal so i shopped around and went with AAMI which dropped...

SSV ftw $10... cheap at twice the price.

that you think would actually stand up in court

i cant believe your still standing by this ludicrous theory

im keen for 1 any ideas of rough cost?

thats a crock. so in your theory, someone who was going mega fast could hit you from the rear, push your car 20m forward to hit another car, and you'd be at fault for hitting the one in front? like seriously.. what are you smoking

Im insured with AAMI and recently smashed my car (pictures in profile). Took 2 months for them to fix it and am still chasing stuff up with them after 4 months. Celica is at fault for sure. Failing to stop. Shouldve called the cops, usually if its over 2k in damage i think... correct me if im...

are you going to recess the badge or to hard to polish out the end mill marks? s/s ftw imo even though itll be a little more weighty

75% of the cars value was what I needed to get to when I crashed mine (some pictures in my profile). $37,500 seemed to much to reach (only ended up at $20k). So I tried to put it on them about chassis damage and the car losing its structural integrity, being unsafe etc. etc. but they didn't want...
