Was thinking about ditching the canopy but it's really useful an it's growing on me, I reckon once I lower the rear it will look better, thinking about paint my badges and calipers in the next couple of weeks to give it a bit of a personal touch ;)

Appears to be sitting left.
Take the photo from the other side and it should be sitting right.


Why do you ask? Does something not seem right with it? Other then the faded base, it looks fine.

Base isn't faded mate, it looks like polish that's dried on there and stained it. I found I have the same on my mirrors and window rubbers. I think if you get a little black trim restorer it will bring it back like new.

New aerial looks good to, so much better than the factory rc car antenna haha

Looks good mate, but definitely needs lowering, even that alone will make it such a massive difference

Yeah im thinking exhaust then lower, whats the part number for your springs? also got any photos of it side on? im thinking about getting same thing but with shorten shocks from gsl, just to give it a half decent ride, and i wanna do things right the first time, i would love coilovers but they way to expensive at the moment haha

I think the part numbers are just KHFL-SSSL for front and KHRL-SSSL for rear but I'm not 100% sure.

These are just the ones I have:

STG 3 Ultra Lows VE V8 UTE Commodore King Springs Lowered LOW | eBay

I don't have any side on but when I get back to my house and park on a flat surface I can take some for you.

Yeah thats fair enough, I just got the springs cheap so I still have stock shocks, but saving up to put Bilsteins in them I hope. I would also like to put SP4 in the front which I'd hope to bring it down another 10-15mm so it has the same HTG height as the back.

Agreed coilovers would be nice but all the decent ones are so expensive haha I'll just spend that money on Bilsteins and sway bars and other suspension components I think haha.
