my vz as I bought it, changing the front bumper to ss style as I hate the clubsport kits, look abit riceburner to me, keeping the bonnet though, and have got a chevy grill to add aswell. I don't like the rims at all coz there chrome so may get some other holden type or do the cheap and paint them either silver, grey or black. also will do engine mods later let me know what you guys think
thanks guys honesty is good, just reminding you though that I bought it like this and I wanted it coz it was a Calais. Will be getting my new sv6 bumper on Thursday which I'm excited about, i may end up changing the bonnet to. But first things first, the decals must go I'm trying to go for a classy/sporty clean look Any suggestions welcome as you Aussies really know how to do up a Holden
Try to get it back to original if possible. The lower if you like with a set of wheels. VZ Calais were a good looking car from factory apart from wheels IMO.
Yea postage would be as much as the bumpers worth lol And it's only a six and done over 300kms which is a hell of alot, got it for 7k nzd which is around 5k aus dollar
Take it back to an original VZ Calais with a Calais hood, front bar They look so tuff with just the calais kit, Lowered and on a nice set of rims, Pentagons, E3's ect just my 2 cents
View attachment 158123 View attachment 158124 View attachment 158125 From ugly clupsport to a sexy ss. I like how it looks now, bonnet will go, getting painted in a few weeks. also removed all decals and mudflaps, thinking of removing all the Calais lettering
NOOOOOOOO If you remove the calais lettering it will look like a tarted up executive with a half calais half SS kit Keep Calais badges and the Holden Badges and i still think calais front bar and calais hood = WIN Toughest VZ Calais around IMO Im pre sure its a S2 Calais front bar as the S1 and S2 Front bars were different. IIRC But then again, Its your car so do what you want
Nay's on the money with mods. Change it back to a Calais, so no chev or hsv badge, Calais front bumper, lower and nice wheels. That's pretty much it for looks I reckon. But as it was said, it's your car.
DAAMM!! that black Calais is mint, I bet there isnst a Calais in the country (NZ) that looks as good as that yea the Calais front bumper is pretty mean, but its abit late now I guess but may change the bumper in the future once Ive done evrything, as for the chevy badge, there quite uncommon here in nz and ive noticed a few people doing double takes already and ive only had it on for a day. however you've convinced me on those ssv rims, I have to get me a set, I was going to settle for some vy ss rims or the ve sv6 but the ssv's are the go but might take a while till I get some though.
After seeing a nicely done calais you realise how nice they really are with minimal exterior mods Definetly take the hsv badge off and get a holden grill + badges The ve ss rims just arnt big enough on the vy vz shape imo. 19s and 20s look the best especially when lowered.
Got painted cost me approx $150 AUS dollar, it shows how much the bonnet doesn't suit now Hsv badge staying on the bonnet coz I'm selling the bonnet with it on Going to paint the rims silver as the chrome is coming off,
