vz sedan vs ute gsx1400
Haha sounds good. Mine are just repco pads so more likely the reason than no red stuff

Ve calipers bolt straight on the vy?
no you need brackets rotors hoses, i wouldn t bother with ve on the vt/vz there brakes are a lot better than previous commodores with the single piston caliper
only upgrade i would do is the 330mm ssv red caliper like on the monaro or hsv

Glued the drivers door trolley guard back on, tried the caramel wheel but im too old to give a toss spending 3 or 4 hours buffing sika off. Cant be bothered

Got an antenna adapter from auto barn that claims my powered antenna will magically start working again on the new head unit... sounds like bs to me

Put replace trim on side of drivers seat, got a owners manual, new wiper blades all round, replace the two broke grilles on the tail light access and washed all the built up dirt and crap off the engine.

Not what I did, what I got.
These ..... https://www.holmart.com.au/holden-commodore-vt-vx-upgrade-tail-light-pair-lef ........... as they seem to be half the price as compared to usual, in the hope that I will not have to use them, ( and possibly sell for an exorbitant price one day when I don't need them. ;) )
Genuine, but made in Korea, so I wonder if the originals fitted to V2 Monaros were made in Aus ?

Ordered 3.00pm Wednesday, delivered 11.00am Friday .......... so, well done AusPost. Now waiting on my JHP gauges that are currently in Sydney with AusPost.
I have ordered more stuff online in the last 6 months, than I have done before in my life, and contrary to some experiences by members here, Auspost has been very good with notifications and delivery. Their parcel delivery is faster than their letter delivery.

Loved my VY calais. Best thing I did to mine to improve aesthetics was replace the burgundy door handles with chrome ones to match the chrome trim
