    The chrome bonnet lip is from the calais and HSV's and you should be able to get it from a dealer.

    why dont you just get 19s which will increase the distance off the ground by 2 inches instead of spending money on springs to raise your car. im aware youl need 2 grand for a decent set of rims and tyres but if you raise your car youl be 2.2 grand away from those rims and you havnt done your car any favours in the visual department. besides id rather take off that clubby kit which will make it higher off the ground the vz's look decent enough with stock kits.

    LOL! my mate this, my mate that. Nice one pal, keep telling people that with each rim inch you go up you raise your car a further inch! see where that gets you.

    Have a look at a members ride called " dijm8" he has a calais with 20's and only SSL's in it and its farking low. no way its a further 4 inchs off the ground as it only came with 16's from the factory.

    My car has SL's and it scrapes with 17s


    I wasnt being a smart arse until you fired up over me correcting you on a fail post.

    ok maybe i wasnt being clear in my post you dont literally gain those 2 inches but honestly can you realli tell me that a wheel with a 17 inch rim is of same diameter as a wheel with a rim of 20 inches?

    unless your running 22's and you cant match the load rating to a legal size tyre then the increase in ride height from tyre size from a 16 to a 20 is going to be around 5mm depending on tread depth. I have 17/235/45 and a 20rim usually rolls on 20/245/30 which would result in a small but marginal increase in ride height nothing that a full tank of petrol wouldnt change.
