Sounds like its just not lining up properly, which happens over time. My side skirts aren't flush like they were when i bought the car, obviously the sikaflax has let them move apart.


The problem is, at that time (VN) dealers were fitting those kits to try and sell the cars (badges as a 'formula') but removing the pin stripe, and putting an SS decal on it, and flogging it off for more is all too easy.

The kit on one i looked at was identical, and even had the spotties (aftermarket spotties, but the look almost identical to SS ones)

good point,, like i said how can you tell genuine? Like the body kit im sure there not stamped like hsv etc. Im refering to the bottom skirts? this is the car.bare in mind those photos are 6 months old have more pick if required. regarding the front lip extension are they meant to be rubber or glass? I remember buying a lip few years back and it was made of rubber, the 1 on this car is glass.Also the corner peices on the bobtail are screwed throught the body with 2 nuts on each inside the boot.

Like i said, dealers were fitting the exact kits to cars (al cars, not just execs) to try and sell them. so it *could* be a formula with SS stripes

On build plate should be either A9G for manual or A9F for auto.

Everything looks as it should. Even the interior is right for a late model one.
