My baby, VT Berlina!

[TXB-409]

so i decided on tuesday to do the job and paint the door handles chrome, was piss easy and will be ding air vents today!
here's the pic.

Shitty iPhone quality!

Probably redoing my headlining on Saturday and changing shockers, what shockers are the best to buy?

 

[Mirkz]

looks good!

I'd love to do this with my car too, but I think I want to swap out the door skins first and put black ones in.

VX SS rims look really nice on VT/VX, I'd have a set if I didn't love 15's so much

Clean looking VX, Id suggest a rear camber kit though. Your tyres look like they are going to wear out pretty fast just from looking at the pics..

 

[TXB-409]

2DIE; how much will that set me back? and from where?

mirkz; it's wayyy easy to do, just paint them and when you get your new door skins the handles will still be the same yeah?

again, what would be some good shockers (or short shockers) for the car, for a decent price.

cheers

Door handles look great, do they look as good as the pic shows? If so what paints and **** did you use?

Cheers

Lots of info about camber kits for VT/VX on the forums, about $200 max if you do the work yourself then take it to a shop to get an alignment.

Superpro ones from ebay seem to be what most people are using.

Commodore rear Camber Kit Super Pro VP VS VT VX VY VZ (eBay item 150569615671 end time 29-Mar-11 17:13:57 AEDST) : Cars, Bikes, Boats

Thats just an example, you could probably find some cheaper. There is also a thread somewhere how to do it.

thanks 2DIE, will have to look into it!

and vx appeal, i'll look at it tonight and get back to you, looks good, but the grit of sandpaper i used was too harsh, probably doesn't even need to be sanded back tbh.

Love the colour, looks really good on the SS rims.... Good luck with your future plans!

Hey mate nice ride!
What springs are you using on the 17s?
also hows the ride as i think i read your on standard shockers

 

[TXB-409]

yeah cheers rich, just wish the ss rims weren't 17's and were 18's or 19's instead!

jake-26, not exactly sure what springs are in the car as they came with it, will have a look tomorrow and get back to you asap. but yeah with the standard shockers the ride at the moment is shocking. *excuse the pun*, but yeah the rear shocks are alright but the front.. when i go over an average speed hump it feels like the car has been dropped from a meter high given the way it bottoms out, hopefully get new ones this week!
