    VE 3.6L Sv6
    Hey guys,

    New member to the forums and I thought I would show you all my car. Bought it back in March, second-hand for my first car for 16k and only had 81000 kms! Its fairly basic at the moment but its getting there.

    IF YOU HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS FOR MY CAR PLEASE COMMENT!!! Would love some feedback/advice

    VE Sv6
    92000kms
    2006 model
    Alloytec 3.6L V6 engine

    What Ive done/added to it:
    Currently has no mods, dont really plan on adding any, just want to keep it neat and simple
    • Added a Sports Armour front lip
    • Painted the Brake Calipers red
    • Painted all badges Matte Black

    What more I'm looking to do to the car:
    • 20" Black Rims (Cant decide between Gloss/Matte) Looking at Avant Garde M310 or Lenso Como Rims
    • Sound System
    • Remove towbar
    • 35% tint on windows

    This is my car so far!!:driving:

    It just looks like an SV6 badge (comparing it to the rear one)

    The brand is Crossfire Performance Wheels, but i cant find any information or this brand anywhere?!?
    A tyre guy in Castle Hill said he could do a package deal with these rims for $1550

    I would go a matte finished rim for the simple fact you sprayed the badges like that, lol.

    Looks nice man. I just got mine in silver yesterday.

    Sweet clean ride, can't go past the sv6. White cars look great with black wheels.

    Maybe add some projector headlights? :) would set it off...

    Agree,either of the aforementioned rims would look schmick on the white body...nice to see you keeping mod plans simple too!!

    Definitely go matte finish..the deal you mentioned seems reasonable,guessing the tyres might be cheapies though..check out brand and if their any good perhaps?.
