Put a chev centre on em

errrr... no. It's a Holden not a Chev!

errrr... no. It's a Holden not a Chev!

eerrr he already got one on the bonnet :b:

This would match!

Still the Chev badge is as bad as excels with Apex racing ,NOS etc on there .

That's your opinion and you're entitled to it..

However, for the upteenth time, there's nothing wrong with putting Chev badges on a car..

It's very obviously still a Commodore and a 6.. The Chev badges aren't out to fool anybody..

They are there for one reason.. The blue looks good on black.. It looks heaps neater with Chev badges then it does with the lions..

Even worse when ya have ecotec V6 on the side

Would it be better if I put GenIII badges on the sides? Ripped off the "Commodore" and "Executive" badges and changed them to "SS"..

And also changed my exhaust tip..

No, I'm afraid I won't be doing any of the above.. I drive a 6 and everyone knows I drive a 6.. The Chev badging isn't there to make anyone think I drive an 8..

nice wheels mate! have the same ones..

i was thinking about the altezza style lights, but now youve convinced me! just a matter of what kind... are they gen monaro ones, or those ones you find on ebay? how is the low/high beam on them compared to factory? and is replacing the front lights a bumper off job?

anyway, hot ride mate!

Thanks mate, I bought the lights off ebay.. They're not the genuine Monaro ones..

The actual headlight projection is much better then the Holden ones, but I don't think the high beam's as good..

Removing the front bar takes minutes.. All you need is a screwdriver.. Getting the lights out is harder then removing the front bar..

And even then, the lights are secured by three bolts.. Piss easy..

Cheers mate.. I tried something different, filled the Ambipur with my favourite Aftershave/Cologne..

It's bloody awesome..

I've kept an eye on mine, but it's been fine for the year I've had it.. I saw the other guys thread though.. Maybe he just got a faulty one? No complaints from me though..

Thanks for the info. I'm gonna head down to borgies in western suburbs (yes I'm melb too) and check out some of the stuff they have there. If that's a no go, I'll PM you and ask where to get the headies. Thanks mate.

Hey mate i like your car. About your headlights.... do they just replace the originals or did you have to modify something? And also how much where they and where did you get them from?

Cheers Mitch
