    Shark fin solutions!!!

    they used to look good when they were only on BMW's. It's like all things that look good on one brand of car- people think they look good on all cars, like Audi lighting, and Chev badges. dont like them myself - but each to their own!

    Anyone colour coded the chrome tailgate strip on Sportwagon's ??

    Yes it is. The door panel is moulded so that the strip sits flush in it.

    Anyone colour coded the chrome tailgate strip on Sportwagon's ??

    Just so your all aware, this was a bit of a pain to remove as the number plate lights were easy enough, but you also have to remove the tailgate button by removing the rubber button pad and I found that the only way to take the whole button off the panel and thus, away from the car is to but two...

    Anyone colour coded the chrome tailgate strip on Sportwagon's ??

    So this is mine... ...and yes, two thin plastic tabs did break, but they aren't that really important anyway.

    Anyone colour coded the chrome tailgate strip on Sportwagon's ??

    Ive done mine. Just sanded it back a little. Used a bit of plastic adhesion promoter, the a couple of coats of black enamel, then a couple of clear top coats. Looks heaps better. I'll put a pic up when I get home to show the difference.

    Is 20% Tint too dark?

    This is highly dependent on what state you are talking about. In Vic, the darkest legal tint on ALL windows regardless of type of car is 35%

    For those with afm?

    I dont have the AFM in my series 1, however I used to own a Chrysler 300C which had it and NEVER felt a thing. It worked flawlessly and I got the thing down to 8.8L/100km in a 2.8T car!

    How To Disable VE Seatbelt Alarm

    Hope this helps. I just did it and works a treat. Thanks for the info! This was on my 08 VE SSV Wagon. The yellow tape is located in the middle of the seat on the rearmost bar so if you get in the back, push drivers seat fully forward and look up, you will see the yellow tape right in...

    Leak from tailgate of SSV Sportwagon

    Has anyone had this occur. I have an 08 SSV Sportwagon and after it has been raining and I lift the tailgate up water seems to run down the sides then find its way to dripping in the centre of the cargo area. When the retractable boot shade/cover thingy is pulled out, there is a small pool of...

    ve ssv Bluetooth

    My Iphone 4 works perfectly with my 08 SSV too. Is your iphone up to date with its firmware/software updates? If not do that cos there has been many changes of late which address bluetooth issues.

    Holden Pricing - Brand New Pontiac Front End Complete

    Thats not it at all...Its the same as most of you putting Chev badges on your cars. Only they are doing it properly by transforming a car back to what it should be - not transforming a car to something it's not!

    Sportwagon rear dust deflector - Does anyone have one?

    No they won't do anything for a ute. They are designed for the wagon due to the shape of the back end and the way it magically sucks up every drop of water and piece of dust going! I too would like one for my wagon.

    Holden Pricing - Brand New Pontiac Front End Complete

    "excess stock for certain reasons". Those reasons are that Pontiac went under in the US so Holden, who could have put a better front end on our own cars, chose to give the yanks a better front end and now can't sell them so they flog them to us as though they are doing us a favor! That said, I...

    Tow Bar Addition to Calais

    I have just done this too. I bought a Trail (something like king or boss!) from ebay. Got the whole lot delivered to Vic with ECU and wiring for $525 and fitted it myself. Took me around 3 hrs cos I have never removed a bumper bar before so I wanted to do it slowly! The instructions provided...

    HOLDEN-IQ in Series 1

    when you say far too involved - can you explain a bit better here? Are head units's sizes PHYSICALLY different between the two models? Seems to me that from S1 to S2 there usually is not that much change done internally and if you took an IQ from the same equipment levelled car -ie SSV...

    iPhone 4 aux issue in VE

    I would be curious to see if anyone has tried one of those cables that plugs into the bottom of the dock connector on an iphone 4 that has a 3.5mm plug on the end so it takes Line levl out of the phone rather than speaker output level and whether this fixes the problem. I have the same issue...
