haha izzy, what a delightful stitch job there.

caprice/stato front would stand out alot, would it suit the rear and side skirts though?

@Cameron P, Define Silly, haha

Haha, thanks Dyer...

That's why I would opt for a grange front bar, would tie in nicely with the ss skirts and rear I reckon, and wouldn't look silly with some sporty wheels on there aswell.

No real big updates, but it is getting close to tax time so hopefully that will change soon... Plan is to replace the SS front with another SS front, new exhaust and a set of rims, nothing to sporty, probs a set of VE Calais or Internationals, going for a more classy look with the car now, with a WH Caprice interior in the pipeline for the future, figured if I can't go fast why make it look sporty? May aswell be comfortable.

I had plans of installing a VY/VZ SS steering wheel, but don't like the look/feel of it as much as I thought I would, so will just get a VT/VX leather one down the track. In the meantime the VY/VZ one is just sitting on my kitchen table if anyone wants to buy it, feel free to throw me an offer.

Almost done, just gotta fix the front bumper and headlight, get a new exhaust, tint the windows, and touch up some of the paint....

.... The list never ends!! haha

Hey man how much did the VX calais garnish and SS kit set ya back?

Can't remember exactly mate, got all the bits of the kit separately, Think the front bumper with lights was 400, rear and side skirts were about 100 each, then cost around 700 all up to paint including mirrors IIRC, worth it in the end I reckon, makes it look like a completely different car.

The rear garnish with lights was 150 I think, then another 50 to paint...

 

[Isaac]

Not much to update, got a new front bumper, genuine this time so it fits alot nicer.

Also picked up a new set of rims today as the camber wear on the SS rims was not pretty.

They are 15" BMW rims. I had to find a set that fit 3 criteria, they had to be cheap, have good tread, and not be too far away to pick-up. These were 10 min down the road, pretty reasonable tread, and at a set of 5 for $100 I just couldn't say no, haha. They actually don't look too bad imo, would be good if I could find a holden sticker or something to cover up the BMW symbols...

Any thoughts on the wheels guys??

They're really starting to grow on me, plus the ride is sooo much nice with the bigger tires, which is very nice considering how shitty some of the roads in melbourne are...
