Dunno about "vL_" but I'm talking cars that come with the gauges in the cluster, such as VL's (SL's excluded which is why I chucked a calais cluster in mine), so I wouldn't have to put a wank factor 5" wogclock on my dash, what can putting in gauges tell me that my cluster can't? Maybe if I planned to run my car at 6k rpm in a drift battle for 20 minutes I'd buy a gauge, but otherwise? No.

make another thread to argue about guages. i personally dont have a problem with aftermarket guages as long as there inside the car!!! just my 2 cents RM Williams bullhorn stickers = fail. anything RM williams or other bogan sheek brand car accesories just fails in general imo

[QUOTE=aus880; workshop stickers on cars.......yes it contains the word race or racing.........another 50kw there......and how much did they pay you to advertise their business??[/QUOTE] so if a friend of yours had a workshop and had these types of stickers you would ask for money to advertise his business on your car that he works on and maintains for you your a nugget you went a bit too far with the 50kw remark otherwise i agree with the other comments

Though my biggest pet hate is newer style bodykits on older cars eg, vy clubsport bodykits on clapped out vr's seriously you wasted your Fu*kin money! that goes for chev badges too if you want a chev go to america or import one putting the badge on your commodore doesn't make it a chev even if it has an LS engine be proud to drive somethin designed and built in australia! I agree about the chevy badges and the new bodykits on the older cars, when i first saw a old commodore with a newer model bodykit on it i was like wtf!? lol Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

The rest of the car is totally stock but a boot spoiler seems a must have item in Sydney's west and don't know if it's been mentioned prev but those bogan 'Aussie Pride' stickers on cars esp when they are in exotic hard-to-read fonts Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Would rather see the car with the boot spoiler only than the other way around. Corsa
