Hey mate,

Yep, had to pretty much sand the crap outta it. Every time i put a coat on it would bubble up.
Just go to Holden, they only charged about $55

Hi Walt,

Yeah it was, its not all its cracked up to be, in my opinion. Lucky i didnt spend $270, no way its worth that!

Not that i think so, its not a enclosed POD, its a semi enclosed cause there are still areas where hot air can enter. Like at the right hand corner of the radiator, theres a gap about 2in wide running from the underside of the radiator shroud to the chassis rail below. With the std airbox & 2 hole mod, you eliminate that cause if the MCAI shroud.

kool thanks for the feed back. ill stick to just 2 holes :thumbsup:

Also what black parts are you chasing? i might be able to help out. I know your after the head lining & jesus bars?

Well, ive ordered the 4 blk grab handles from Holden at a good price too, $15 each.
Ive got one of the B pillars arriving early in the week (ill let u know hich side its for) & in the process of getting the C pillar trims.

Yeah just need the lining & rear centre trim.

What can u get?

Sounds the goods Paul!

$15 for those handles?! That sounds alright? Would've thought they'd want more than that hey.
So is the plan, wait til you get it all, then throw it in all at once? (Probly better than having a mixture, lol..)
Keep the updates comin!

Cheers Zeussy,

Normal price is $18 but i mentioned getting them at trade but i dont have a trade, so he'll sell em to me at trade anyway, cause im a regular.:smoking:

I mite install all the black trim minus the lining, see how it looks!

Hey all,

Started to attack the A pillar trims last weekend. Since then ive installed the Pass side B pillar trim along with the seat belt adjuster.
Ive also found out that the lower B pillar trims dont fit so ive had to order the lower B trims that suit.
Also have fitted black grab handles, im still waiting for the C pillars to arrive, its taking longer than expected.

Will keep on updating as i progress.

 

[Timmos]

That looks great..

Can i ask what are your costs so far to the "VZ Calais roof conversion"

Something i'd love to look into doing later on
