I was unable to get the "attachments" to work so I just put them in via photobucket!! Apologies in advance! Apparently there was a missing security token or something...:blah blah:

Some night pictures taken tonight.... I think I worked out the attachment thing too! :beer chug:

To be honest, i'd leave the kit off. Put your 18's on and lower it a bit and it'll look tops.

Why Would you put HSV Badges and kit if it aint a HSV?
Leave it how it just change the wheels

 

[Matty-346]

do not put hsv badges on it lmao not sure what is worse Chev or hsv badges on a holden... I would just take the badges off personally if you were going to do anything to them...
I would lower it put some 19's on and leave the Berlina/Calais kit on, if you did this not only would ur car look better but by saving money on the 'fullysic' bodykit you could get a nice set of 19's and some decent tires..!

Definitely leave the kit off, stay away from the HSV badges, and attack that front grill of yours with some paint stripper, strip off that black paint and it will look a lot better.

nice car, love the interior. It seems as though you have had the rear seat retrimmed to fit perfectly? (meaning the seatbelt holes and the 1 inch gap from the seat to the door trim) ??

Headlights of a VXII Calais! They had the black surround on them similar to the SS.
