2003 VY S-pack

Hi all, this is my third car, but the first ive actually chosen to buy, my first two were just cheap from friends, a 1988 Carolla for $500 and then when the head gasket blew on that after a year, i bought a 99' Vectra from my mate for 3 grand, had that for 2 years then finally decided it was about time i got something i really wanted so i went and picked up on friday for just $10,700, hope you like it!

haha yehh true. Ahwell still looks nice mate, real clean.

Try it 'spoiler-less' for a few days and see what ya think :p easy to put back on afterwards, and i rekon the silver will really suit a no spoiler rear end.

am eager to know what you guys think and what might look good, or what some simple and cheap mods might be to get a bit of extra performance!

UPDATE!
Finally got my custom plates on, papers went through to vicroads n now i officially own it...about time!,
also due to one of my friends geezin up my vehicle last night and my complete lack of mechanical know-how hes pointed out that i have a growler system
(sorta thought it sounded different to a friends VY-S but didnt take too much notice)
but yes..this makes me happy lol cos i think once i get my exhaust done it may add a bit to the note i get?,
Anyway...heres a few pics of my plates on and under the hood, pics arent great just took em in the driveway

I'm kinda leaning towards red?
