ss/hsv bits on a base model.. am i a hypocrite?

[VNCalais98K]

No, thats completely different.
Modding a VN with a VY kit is different.
Its stylising and its custom. Its different.
Its not like you have a VN SS kit on a VN Exec.

In that scenario you should feel better than you have a personal car and they are just driving a "stock" clubby. More money than sense... haha!!

I always get embarrassed when I pull up next to a VZ SS cause of my guards, or a VY Clubsport cause of my kit.

Purely because I feel so cheap that they can afford an actual VY clubsport... I can only afford a VN with VY Clubsport kit

Don't feel bad about yours... Your car looks hot ... Who cares that it is a VN .. I want to do a similar thing to mine, when I get to free up some cash .. Overall the VN has a great shape, and I am in love with it ... What you have done with yours looks awesome ... :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

cheers fella's.

I dont so much feel bad about it, I have alot of pride in my car, but I feel awkward next to a real VY Clubby.

Just a stock Clubby?

I know which one I'd rather have! (No offence 1991_Vn2nV)

Just about the only GT's and XU1's you see on the road today are replicas, even the replicas are almost worth too much (not only money value) to drive around so replicas do have a place in the world, eventually

But I wouldn't be making a V6 look like anything (on the outside) unless it had a engine transplant first

Hey Davey...

Im up for it.. all i said to that Tool was the kits on a vy s pack versus a vy ss
ARE different because of the rear spolier...

Im up for it davey

Well yes i have a ss kit and badges on my VY 5.7 berlina,a berlina from factory is almost the same price as an ss.
I dont try to claim its an ss at all i just rekon it looks great,so anyhow anyone want to sue me for turning a berlina into a ss lookalike?
i rekon it looks better then an ss now anyhow cause ya cant buy an ss in my colour
So its a genuine mixmatch one of a kind
Flame me up

To clarify:

We were having this exact same discussion on another thread, till a mod deleted our posts and told us to take it elsewhere. I then invited SSZ-57L, Jeffro74, brentmc and others to continue the discussion here...

Mate, you said exactly what I was thinking when I read his posts.

Like I've said before, the SS kit and other bits on a non-SS annoy me, but I can live with it - more so now that my car is three years old. But to put the SS badges on it is NOT COOL. Why else would you put the badges on it if you're not trying to claim it's an SS? Oh, and what does it say on the right hand side of your posts, next to "Ride"? VYSS.

At least change that to VYSS wannabe!

 

[Jeffro74]

Ok ill take the 5 dollar ss badges of to make you all sleep better at night?
