Nice looking VL ! Very similar to mine when picked up. Just wondering how is there no "COMMODORE" emblem on your centre rear grey garnish ? (between the taillights). Maybe its a series 1 vs series 2 thing.

Vl hero, I.....do? I wasn't aware of that, what are they? 2lethl, i hate that lump of sh1t wheel dont worry lol, just don't have enough money at the moment to get another. Velocity, i re-painted the garnish and the badge was pretty stuffed and old looking, so i took it off. Was thinking of sticking a current model commodore one on, not sure though.

recently had front splits in, with vs stateman pods. Looks good i think, the grey doesn't look too bad against the blue, one day i might match the colours. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

My SL doesnt have a Tacho dash. I swear SLs are the buttstink of all the VLs I mean come on mine doesnt even have Air-con. Im pretty sure every single thing is factory standard cause I have no options what so ever. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
