    Cars with big power don't need long roads, quite the opposite.

    LOL, they came like that from the factory. I wouldn't stress to much.
    Plastic always looks different anyway.

    The bonnet scoop is the same.

    Nah that's not a factory bar. It's from SSV.

    Yeah I've owned three VEs. First one was Passion Red, second was Sting Red and the third was Phantom. The Passion Red didn't match spot on but it was never as bad as that pic. The Sting Red and Phantom were spot on though. I know K-Pow was bad and hence it didn't last long as a colour. Nitrate wasn't much better.

    The hothouse green they have is shite too. Bars look grey.

    Problem is, Holden doesn't paint the bars. Its outsourced.

    Is it fibre glass or plastic?

    If its fibre glass, then that photo has a horrible match.
