Hi Everyone, I've been a member for a while and following a lot of the good work everyone has been doing on their VE's. I purchased mine new in 2011 and started down the modification journey, it's definitely an experience - an expensive one but highly worth it in my opinion.

Welcome to the forum :)

That's come up real nice.

Not normally a fan of the big bonnets but it works on yours and the extra ventilation will do wonders for under bonnet temps which can be a real PITA with a supercharger working hard.

Thanks for the positive feedback everyone. I agree with you immortality about under bonnet temps, today sitting in traffic the heat was definitely coming out from the vents which is a good thing. It was very visible.

Thanks, yeah it goes well. First and second gear is always tricky getting the right amount of throttle without lighting up the rears all the time, not complaining though ... As for the lip spoiler, I got mine from the Spoilershop here in Perth.

Thanks. I've had the wrap on for a few weeks now and to be honest it's no different to cleaning the paintwork. I've washed it once a week and so far, so good.
