Yeah the rust in mine is pushing the seal out a bit, still havn't finished prepping my new tailgate, might do some more this weekend.

Rust around front and rear screens is very common in VLs

mine has absolutely zero rust. was done before i bought it. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Spotted this at Speights Ale house carpark in chch Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Damn it, same as my mags...

is that a vk scoop on it? yuk

lol thought da scoop looks ok kinda keepin that retro holden look going there ..

Dunno about the VH Group 3 Door Spats.........

Colour matched wing mirrors aren't for me. If it's an 8, then I guess it's nice, but if it's a 6.. then not so much.

i love that blue. dont no if i like the kit though

Hey Alex, has the window chrome on your car been painted? Looks good. Any special prep needed to do it?

Yip, I think your the first person to notice. It had to be spayed with something special first. Not sure what it was sorry Has anyone notice the aerial?

What aerial , The mouldings may have been sprayed with etch primer first perhaps? or some kind of adhesion promoter. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

No aerial = nice, same for door locks. The car that set me against the wing mirrors is a bright green Calais, just looks wierd. And the Walkinshaw kit blends them in (and the painted chrome, which I like cause it looks kind of wierd when the boot spoiler covers half the chrome) Actually the main thing is if the car is 2 tone or not.
