Just updated from my old vy ss . Just 1 pic for now. Loving the new car , so smooth to drive but too quiet ....for now !
Stock as for an ss , but only had it for a week.
Future mods include some zorst noise , lower it a little , couple shiny bits under the hood .
Not going too wild , been there lotta years ago with a 308 torana that ran 10s and could wheel stand - 25 yrs ago now.
Anyway you guys have some real cool looking cars, cheers.

First time I've seen VF wheels on a VE, really lightens thee look and subtly brings it up to date.

Haha so mission accomplished then! Haha.
Yer I couldn't warrant the v8 myself either. As a to and from work car it and living in Gold Coast. Stop start. Seemed a bit pointless. Young family too. So I "settled" with a 2012 sv6. Still a tonne of fun. I'll get a v8 later.... If they're still making them by then..

Cosmetic changes

Still waiting for my ssl king springs to be delivered ! Hopefully soon. So while waiting i been doing some small cosmetic changes , removed afm,holden badge and series II badges. replaced with a modern holden badge " not trying to make it look like a hsv ". Painted engine cover and radiator cover.Removed the black lip cover , like the all white look but it has exposed previous owners shithouse parking skills! In 2 minds whether to repair or paint the lip covers white and put them back on ?
Really like " gazz " all white look. thinking of removing the chrome bits around the grill and front lip. any thoughts ?
