[HoldenFan09]

hey thanks

First thing im going to look at doing is the sound system and then possibly get some king super lows I'm working at super cheap auto at the moment so i can get all kinds of stuff discounted so i cant wait to get started on the car.

Anyone have any suggestion on mods i can do? I don't know much yet as I'm fairly new to the car scene

cheers matt

so far my attempt at debadging has been a failure only 2 of the 5 have actually worked

I used fishing line and metho which worked perfectly fine on the first two but the others are incredibly stubborn and im at a loss as to what to use...

excuse the dent happened last week, stupid person can't even open his own door properly. it looks fine from here but there is actually a black outline of the badge that will not budge.

This just wont come off, its rock solid and now its started to take the top gel coat off :bang:

And this also im not sure how to get that last bit off ive tried metho, eucalyptus oil andwhite spirits still wont come off...

ahhh first dint

i was shattered for a week after my first little 'door dint'... now im driving around with one side of the car pretty much destroyed... thats what happens after 3 years and a couple near write offs you lose the passion haha

it looks great, theres something about the vt, theyre just sexy.. debadging looks good :thumbsup:

great first car - and good to see no spoiler

Nice car mate,

To get those bits of blue off, get some prepwash, put a little bit of it on a rag and rub it for a couple of minutes. Then you can probably peel it off with your fingernails or wash it off with a rag of some sort. Don't leave the prepwash on there too long though as it may damage your paint, so just give the areas a hose down after you've finished.

I hope the prepwash works because honestly its not gluey at all, its rock solid.

damn bad luck with the badge dude, maybe even try a hair dryer to heat it up a little too it might help soften the glue
