Whatever you do to it, don't change the colour. Is it auto or manual? If it's auto, I'd convert it to manual. Hey yeai totally agree with you...i love driving with vlts and beyond ...i adore it i frikn cream my pants of doses ahha na but wat i was trying to say is that im not thinking that vlt drivers think that way...i no they dont iv met allot...and would love to talk to ppl with turbo and n/a ..but im saying that its cool to see wat kind of things n mods p platers do etc cause we got the same restrictions... but anyway...my car is manuel which i absolutly adore...

Fair enough you're new, but I just wonder why people don't try new things. Don't mean to take it out on you, your thread was just perfect to vent. But honestly keep the garnish - they're extremely rare. Don't sell it to Mitch (unless Mitch plans on selling it to me ). With the VE GTS wheels, they're not legal on a VL. I'd suggest removing your tint, get some fun N/A mods happening that won't get you in trouble: manual conversion, LSD (they can't see it, and they were factory), some pop ups, stereo, Calais interior. You guys can't even get an exhaust or anything can you? Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

You guys can't even get an exhaust or anything can you? Let's start a club, seems like we all are. I reckon if he wants to slap some big wheels on, let him do it. Same if he wants to lower it. Like I said, who knows what his budget is, but these two things are two excellent first steps that will instantly lift the exterior - something that the owner can be proud of and a place where they can see their investment reflected. I reckon keep it SL fronted mate but that's just me. 5spdvl has highlighted a few good mods in the manual conversion and the LSD swap. What colour is the interior at the moment?

LOL, everyone keeps telling him to mod it to a manual but he's already said it's a manual - he even said it in his last post. As far as the interior is concerned i would go with what everybody's already been saying: sunnies holder, S2 hi-rise console and if u want, loose the tint and whack on some venetians. Exterior: re-badge it SL style, and get new headlights. I also wouldn't get a calais front, just keep it the way it was meant to be.

LSD is Limited Slip Diff, basically locks the two axles so you don't just do single pegger burnouts Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I said manual conversion before he mentioned it was manual, so I'm not the one who didn't read it. LSD is the same as a spool except it is legal, won't break axles, or ruin tyres on corners.
