What a great looking car.
That orange really pops!
Don’t see many in that colour over here, it’s a variation of tiger mica?
For us, they call it Orange Blast Metallic. Owning an orange Holden was always a goal of mine since Tiger Mica. Ordered the car on September 6, 2016, and she was delivered on March 4, 2017. Couldn't be happier!
Thumbs up mate
That's my favourite vf2 colour and those plates are classy. I like the contrast with the black especially when combined with factory optioned black roof and rear wing
Enjoy
Unfortunately, we didn't get those options. I had to order the spoiler as an accessory option myself. Not sure if I'll ever paint or wrap the roof.
Mate that thing is stunning. What are you using on the paint to get that shine and clarity.
This was the first car that I had professionally coated in Modesta. She has Modesta on the exterior, interior, brakes, wheels, wheel barrels, etc. There's also Xpel PPF over a majority of the car.
I love the design of the HP20 rims but their Achilles heel is the OEM fitment where the offsets are way too conservative for the big wheel wells on the VE/VF Commodores.
Using spacers to bring them out flush with the fender lips like you have has really enhanced the appearance.
What rims are you swapping them out for?
.
Yes, I completely agree! I posted pictures in the lowered thread when I first lowered the car. You can see how sunken in the wheels are. The spacers made them look so much tougher!
I'm going with the Avant Garde M632 wheels. Planning on running a 305 in the rear and a 255 up front. With those, I'll certainly have to cut the rear quarters.
What's the story with the black SS in the background of one pic? It seems to have the Holden insignia in the grille too.
That SS belongs to a buddy of mine from my car club (Chicago Holden Connection). We are one big family here.
2 stunners.
Well done Louis, it looks gorgeous and tough at the same time. Like an angry wife in a negligee.
Why no SS badges on the rear doors?
You know, I never cared for the SS badges on the doors. I just think it looks cleaner without them.
Do you have the brand and specs for the spacers? Maybe even a link to where you got them? Cheers.
Dessy, I do have the link.

I'm running the conservative spacers for the 2016/2017 SS. You can see my car pictured on the site. That was before I went darker on the tint. They are made specifically for the Commodore, and they are top quality! Of course, I purchased the raw ones and had mine painted before they offered the black version. The owner is a great guy and I can reach out to him if you have any questions.
Thank you all for the words!!! I'm extremely proud of my Holden. This is my fourth Holden since 2004 (had a CPM Monaro/an SBM VE/and a Red Hot VF1), and I don't plan on giving her up. Cheers!
