[pepstar87]

google it, there are plenty.

A guy on eBay, its all genuine parts, its actually a parts distributor in Melbourne, they do heaps of other makes and models.

I have the top grill and the badge seperate, the badge doesnt seem to sit in the grill correctly so its like there is a part missing perhaps a plate that goes inbetween the badge and the grill? There are two pins on the back of the badge with no holes in the grill for it to fit into.

Hmm, do you have the right grille? There are two Monaro grilles one for the VZ and one for the other monaro.

Got a link to the fog/parker lights on ebay?

 

[pepstar87]

Its the correct part numbers,
The fog/parkers arent on ebay, but the guy who I bought the front bar off can source all parts required for the VZ monaro front conversion.
The seller name is benvos
He is a top bloke and will help you out.

 

[CrimsonThunder]

I dont know how to help you out on the grille sorry. Are you sure the badge isnt for the rear of the car? Cos I know a person on ebay sells both rear and front monaro badges.

Yeah I've bought off benvos before, he is good.

 

[CrimsonThunder]

Well Benvos gave a good price for the grille and badge, half price on what I would have had to pay. But if you're having trouble with it no way I would want to buy it... =/

 

[pepstar87]

Nah I found out the grille is 3 piece
he is sending up the other part now, all is good
get car on weekend, next will be headlights and foglight/parkers

 

[CrimsonThunder]

Well thats good! How much did the extra piece cost? And what exactly is it? lol

 

[pepstar87]

CrimsonThunder, How are you going with getting parts?

I have the following parts so far

Front Bar
Bottom Grille
Top Grille with badge (3 piece)
Foglight and parker lights complete with bezel surrounds
Foglight switch for dash (I have executive, didnt come with foglight switch)

Now Im just waiting on getting the headlights and I think Ill need to get a VY/VZ Reo bar too.

Here are some pics of the conversion done to tempt people - the result is awesome

These two have left the original VX SS headlights in
