Ve berlina - wm caprice interior conversion

[Veberlina]

Thought i would post some pics here of my completed my10 berlina - wm caprice interior conversion. Everything works including the roof dvd player and visor lights. I know plenty of people wonder how to do various parts of this conversion so feel free to ask questions about any of it and i am happy to help out.

Mods:
- full wm caprice leather seats inc headrest dvd screens
- all dash trim pieces including caprice crash pad and associated trim
- wm caprice cluster
- wm bose headunit
- wm caprice roof dvd player
- wm sunvisors with lights
- wm glovebox
- wm front door trims (rear dont fit so used calaisv)
- wm suede console trim
- hsv steering wheel
- hsv console lid
- wm caprice s2 rims

Hell of a job but sooo much better than the el turdo budget original berlina interior

The Dash looks nice, very different to what I'm used to.

Looks good mate!

How long did it take?

Looks great mate good job

I have two questions to ask you ?

1. Did the whole roof lining fit easily as I thought the wm caprice roof lining was longer then the normal ve ?
2. Is it still roomy inside ? As aren't the wm caprice seats a tad larger then the standard ve seats ?

Thanks pal

Long time lol... Did it over a few
Months sourcing parts was hard

Johnni -

1. I kept my original berlina roof lining and cut a hole for the dvd

2. Caprice seats front and back are the same size as ve. Still roomy.

Hi, few questions

What were the individual parts you need to do the dash, and did it fit with the original supporting brackets or did you need to replace those too?
Who did the programming for your cluster and how much for?
Got any recommendations for a place to get parts assuming you're in WA?

It looks great

Hi mate for dash you need:

- crash pad
- middle vent trim
- lhs dash spear
- cluster
- cluster surround
- headunit
- headunit support bracket and fascia
- below headunit coin flip tray
- glovebox

All fits with existing brackets other than headunit. Needs a special bracket for headunit that fits a different fascia surround for the headunit unique to wm. Bracket only $25 from holden.

Programming for cluster was done by justin stark from ultimate conversion wiring cost $250.

Parts - ebay and holden! Ebay doesnt have many wm parts holden was best. Try get crash pad and cluster /surround / lhs spear second hand as theyre very pricy from holden.
