My MY17 Light My Fire Redline

[zero_tolerance]

Ok, so I've had my Redline a little over a month now, so it's about time I put up a thread.

I wanted a Redline ever since the VF first came out, but when Holden announced that it was ending local production in 2017, I decided to hold off, as I was determined to have one of the last.
So on the 20/12/16 I pulled the trigger and put a deposit down on an auto Redline sedan in LMF, then began a painful but worthwhile 2.5 month wait.
I originally had my heart set on prussian steel, only to discover it was being discontinued. Knowing I wanted something more special than a run of the mill colour, I saw a few pics of LMF and immediately knew that was it. Placed my order sight unseen and have never looked back.

20/02/17 My car is built.

Tidy looking car. Still not a huge fan of the rear end tail lights though. Not that it matters as long as your happy with it (as it seems you are)

Did they allow you in the plant for those production line photos or do they take em and send em through as a buyer option?

One question, are those bonnet vents for show or do they actually allow hot air from the bay to escape?

I wish I was allowed in the plant lol. I would have a hell of a lot more photos than that if I was lol.
Holden have set up a camera at those two stations on the production line which take photos of every car being produced. A few other guys on the forum have got their pics too.

As for the bonnet vents, how functional they are is anyone's guess. There is only a tiny opening on the bottom so it's probably negligible at best.

fuuuuaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr......i'm wet (******* sydney rain) . In other words, mate, that is a gorgeous looking ride you got there. I was tossing up between between LMF and SOAG at the time of ordering but no regrets either way. Congrats bro

Awesome looking car!

Did you consider big spoiler and black roof when you were tossing up options?

Thank you!

I decided against the black roof but then started having second thoughts when I saw a few pics on the forum. By this stage it was too late to change my order.
I'm not a fan of the big spoiler tbh and I'm quite happy with the lip spoiler as it is.
