    Very nice looking ute mate. The colour is awesome, is it a factory colour?

    Thanks Guy's,
    Very nice VR you got there Nick, Neat & Tidy, love it,

    It is a Factory Colour, Impulse Blue, Hence the Plates.
    I have changed the Engine Bay a little, Added Highly Polished Engine Covers. Not sure if I'll keep em or put the Blue ones back on.

    Will get some more pic's up for ya soon!!

    Nice Ute. I don't normally like the later model kits on a VS but this works really well and the matching blue engine covers look a treat.

    The wheels go well with the car colour.
    Engine bay is sweet.

    Looks awesome, and the kit looks well fitted.

    Didn't think VR came out in Impulse blue?

    Impulse is a factory VZ colour Nick.

    The kit goes well with the later model colour.

    IMO, all it needs to be one of the cleanest commodore utes I've seen is stock tail lights and the blue engine covers back on.

    looks nice mate, i love the colour and i never thought id say it but, that front bumper actually looks good.

    maybe because it actually fits unlike everyone who tries to pull of this look. but yeah, nice man, exhaust setup looks mean and i agree with everyone else, blue covers, or mix them up abit?

    nice ute mate, makes me want one

    WOW!! Thanks for the replies, Guy's and I appreciate the honesty :rockon:

    When I bought the tail lights, I opened the box and thought...Cool... Then I fitted them, stepped back and my brain started to hurt....Lol!!

    Wasn't sure if I liked them, Now you've mentioned it, I think the stock ones are the go :yeah:

    As for the Plates...I got em first, so Na Na Nanana!!!......He! He! Just Kidding....." Struck" seems a better choice anyway!!!

    Engine Covers: the vote is in.....Blue it is....Lol!!! ( anybody wanna buy a set of Polished Covers??...Lol!!)

    Didn't wanna cut the Kit to run the Exhaust Tips out the back, thought it would look a bit tacky, the middle was a much better choice!!

    Cheers Paul
