YOU help me mod my car! Tell me what I should do! [VE Senator Replica]

[`redoctober]

Hey guys, I'm currently working on turning my little baby VE Calais into a full blown VE Senator replica, so far progress is good. HOWEVER, I'm looking for more ideas!!


------------------------------------------------------------------
Current mods:
- VE Senator Front (debadged - replaced with Calais badge) incl. Projector Foglights
- VE GTS Rear Bar/Lights/Exhaust/Infill Caps
- VE SS Side Skirts
- Debadged boot, replaced with repositioned "Calais" badge, a F250 "Custom" badge, and a power output (195) badge to replicate the HSV power output badging.
- Custom Plates (SLY6)
- Crystal Vision Low Beam Globes (Soon to be HID Low/High/Fog/SMD Parkers)
- Aftermarket Blaupunkt Stereo (2x12" 600W RMS Woofers, 1x2CH 1200W Amp, 1x4CH 800W Amp, 4x6" Door Speakers [unsure of wattage] and 2 x Tweeters)
- Red LED Footwell/Boot Strips (bigger, better, and brighter)
- 19" SSV Rims

Future Mods
- Black Vinyl Roof
- Darkest Legal Tint
- Painted dash strips (silver)
- Lower dash dyed cream, along with parts of console and door trims/seat inserts.
- New boot install (need to clean it up, goes well but doesnt look the part)
- SMD Reverse lights
- SMD Indicator globes
- Painted engine cover (black and silver) with same stencil applied.

How about get rid of that entire list, and find a wrecked VE 6 litre, and drop the running gear into your car.

This might sound a little crazy, but here goes:

• Throw out the list
• return the car to its stock form and sell it
• buy a Senator, and let the customisation start from here...

If that doesn't tickle your fancy, keep the car a Calais. Its nice enough as it is and you should respect it. If you want to stuff around with a car as much as you plan to, you should have bought a base model Commodore.

I just don't understand why people spend so much money on something so nice, then with some wild vision, think they can turn it into a masterpeice. Reality is, you are still driving a Calais, not a Senator. Go buy one of those **** dealer mock-up v6 Clubby's:thumbsup:

I'm 19 and on my 2nd year of p plates, I have 3 years of P's left.. So, I doubt that's going to happen for a long time !

 

[nathg]

5 years on your P's? That must suck balls..

Hmm, why not just turn it into a nice Calais cruiser, restrictions won't allow you to drop a v8 in (correct me if I'm wrong) so you will never really get to drive around in a proper Senator replica.
