Hey mate, did you manage to fix that central locking issue?

2002, VX II Executive Wagon Alrighty, So I just finished a complete audio set-up in my wagon and had finally put all of the trims back on. I was putting the last piece back in (the front passenger plastic lock, with the red marker) when I struck an issue. I had placed it on correctly and...

Any pics of the rear of this beast? I noticed you had the aftermarket black taillights and I'm interested in a pair myself, just not sure.

Yeah cheers, I'm so happy with them :) Fog lights are in, wiring loom is not... I'm steering clear of HiDs, main reason is because of the money. I'm wrapped with my 4300k low-beam&parker globes so no need for a change there, and as for the globes in the foggies, well I'll make sure they match...

No worries. Nah I'm fine with the stock omega skirts, they're pretty much the exact height just don't have that squarish look to them. Can't fit a coke can under the current sides anyway... Just with the plasti-dip, got a couple of stone chips in one of them at the moment, might have to give...

PlastiDip was easy enough. Took each wheel off, gave em a good scrub (just a normal wash pretty much) and waited until they were dry before I got to it. I sped the process up by drying each coat with cold air from a hair-dryer and a small heater (turned heat off). I didn't want to use any heat...

Been a while since I posted any pics, here's how she looks now :) Rims are painted for 4 coats of PlastiDip, callipers done with VHT calliper paint.

Got the front lowered yesterday with SSSL, wheel alignment tomorrow (y). Considering swapping my current rims for 19" Supersports.

There's a proper picture. Front should be lowered next week on wednesday :)

Yeah the front will be done in a few weeks, work screwed me over with my pay so I ended up returning the front springs because I needed the cash :( What's the best way to keep my tyres as dark/black as possible?

Cheers. Yeah I'll grab a few shots of it tomorrow (the front is still stock though)

The rear is now sitting on Ultra Low Kings :smoking:

Can't afford it at the moment Mike. I do plan to have that done in the future though. Good luck bdb, hope it's easy enough for ya.

Oh sweet, time to look through your profile for some pics :P And cheers but I think me and my mates will have it covered (I'm the last one of the lot to finally change springs)

Ahh alright, I'm sitting on 97,000~. I'm alright with that. If I dis-like the ride I'll do it all properly when I get the SS/SV6 Side Skirts and front bar (rear already done). Any recommendations on which springs? I'm thinking just SSL for the front and Ultras for the rear.

Yeah the bloke down at Tyrepower said if the car has gone 80,000+kms then I should change the shocks too. How do you mean the ride wont be too good? Will it be rough or..?

Don't have the coin for bigger rims unfortunately but I have been considering Super Sports in the long run :P

Hey guys, It's about damn time I lowered my 2006 Omega. I've been quoted $212 total for Kings SSL Front and Ultras for the rear but is that all I need? Do I need to change the shocks or anything else as well? A good mate of mine rekons just swap the springs over and she'll be sweet, is...

Haha go for it mate, what colour are you getting/have you got? ======== What do we all think? I've got the SV6/SS SII (Silverish) rims at the moment, but I think I like black... what do we all think of the it?? Please excuse the ridiculous height, should be a lot lower in the next few weeks. :)

Haha! Parking on a main road facing the same way as the traffic would probably get plenty of people to slow down :P

Yeah don't stress. They only ever show up off-road and they're only suction caps so it's nothing permanent :)

Nah he was referring to a picture I had up earlier, may or may-not have contained a set of 4 LEDs on the dash, 2 being red ;)

Hmmm, good point. Maybe the inter-webs isn't the best place for this ;)

Hahah! Funny you should say that.. ;)

Yeah it's because the tools we were using were too big :) Didn't have enough space to move them freely. Exhaust on :) Please excuse the dirtiness, been doing country driving for the week.

Repairs are done! SV6/SS Rear bar was put on, as well as reverse sensors and the SV6/SS diffuser. Purchased the SSV Exhaust system for $350, I've tried putting it on myself but didn't have enough space under the stands I was using so I've booked in with a mate tomorrow to get it put on :)...

Looks like my rear-bar is going to be sorted out finally :D Called my insurance company a few days ago, provided all the information I had about the bloke who hit me and they said I could go right ahead and get the repair done :) Booked it in for the 30th of this month (was the earliest...

Good point Rufys, I'll give that a shot later today.

I'm assuming you have the same issue as me there... The top piece of the hand-break has come off? For me, the clips are broken so someone has tried gluing it back on but the glue obviously gave way in the heat one day. Have you done anything to yours yet? I'm too lazy to do anything minor to my...

Nah not yet, I've gotten plenty of quotes for the repair but the bloke who hit me is complaining that the quotes are too high for the damage... He clearly couldn't see the re-inforcment bar behind the plastic is damaged even though I've told him and it shows that on every single one of the...

Yeah I'm going to get quad tips, will the chrome blacken after a while? If so, rekon it'll be much of a hassle to get stainless steel? Yeah I'll be lowering it, but I'm waiting until I've got the front SS bar and rear SS bar on, just incase I go too low, also possible sub/s in the boot could...

Ahhhh just my luck... Was planning to get the SSV exhaust happening this wednesday but I just got rear-ended... Since I'll be getting a new diffuser to fit the exhaust and my current one has been damaged, I'll have to wait until the insurance has all gone through before I can do it :(. Oh well...

Stealthily put in the new grille whilst mum was out today :P Took two attempts but all up probably an hour... Had to trim the clips at the bottom and also two parts there were on the sides. Definitely worth the $50. Thanks to BigBoss for his advice :P Going in for a wheel alignment on monday...

Are you talking about the SS/SSV mats that I bought? If so, I don't really mind. I needed new ones anyway. I haven't even put them in yet, still int he packaging.

Nah, I don't think it's worth it. I'd rather save up for a decent sound system and that boot lid would probably cause vibration? If it does the opposite let me know and I'll probably end up getting it :)

I have enough for it, but I'm going to hold off on any purchases for a while. Remember, I'm only 17... Mums been going off her nut at me because I bought the SSV tailligts. She thinks I only spent $150 lol. She's paying for insurance so I don't wanna piss her off too much :/

Spent a little coin today, $644.35 to be exact. Bought the SSV taillights, SS/SSV floor-mats, Lock-nuts and Lock-nut/regular nut covers and an SS front Grille. Here's some pics of the lights, the Grille and mats aren't in yet.

Thanks guys! @shauniie I'm gonna go with SV6 :) Picking up lights and an un-painted SV6 front-bar today :) I'll upload pics with the lights before and after. Also, does anyone know a good place to get the front-bar painted in Vic?
