Is there a left and right version? Maybe you are fitting the left side to the right side of the veh.

Picture of my old VP Calais (HSV Enhanced). Colour looks white but it was actually gold metallic. Great car, the auto gear change was superb and fast, unlike the slug-like gear change in the 4L60e autos.

So had abit of a play around today an mounted it to the top lip for the moment things fit relatively snug but as youll see in the photo below it looks like its 10mm to long as it snags on the door an doesnt actually sit flush,

I might have to trim and Massage them to fit but before doing that i thought id post a coupl More pic’s to get your guys thoughts
