Hey fellas well it seems that i now have a new pride and joy apart from my VL, i have recently run into a streak of good luck and have ot myself a VT Equipe. As usual i have been looking around for upgrades and body kits anything to make the car look and perform that little bit better. I have already decided to get rid of the Auto and throw in a nice MANUAL :twisted: and also take off the old exhaust replacing it with a nice n suttle 2.5" pipe all the way through. I will need a descent pair of rims for it, as it has ROH 5 spoke 15" pieces of ****. But im looking for any suggestions u guys can think of. Audio and interior will be lat on my mind as i have found out its better to concentrate on the Heart of the car first (my vl had to suffer because of this decision the first time around). If you guys have any places or sites that u recommend please do. Any transmission places or wateva, all suggestions are appreciated.

That was my first instinct. But after remembering that i couldn't really use my car for work i decided to keep it so the question remains, "what now?" i need this car for work n id like to make it look good but still professional. Thanks for the suggestion though.

First few things would be: - Lowered suspension - 17-18" wheels - Exhaust Its amazing how many heads start turning when your car is lowered with nice wheels. Looks professional, not overly expensive either for a nice visual gain. If its power you're after I'd go back to the VL Turbo.

Yeah those were already on my mind. A little bit down the track i plan to give the whole car an upgrade. Eventually having the car looking like this. http://www.hdt.com.au/VT.php but maybe having a monaro front headlights and grill Would be nice. A mate of mine has got a VT aswell same colour but a normal exec with 2.5" + chrome tip, 17" Monaro rims, VT Calais Series II grill (the chrome grill) full sheep skin seat covers back n front with a VT Senator front n back bumper kit (no skirts). This is both looks with style.

I've always been a fan of the VT clubby kit. Dumped on big wheels There's a VT in the new street commo's with a Monaro-style front and rear i think. Check it out, it may be what you are after as well. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

You could always go completely custom like my panel beater has... a VX Senator bar, custom made to fit Monaro headlights in with the rest of the VX Senator kit to.

about all you really can do is wheels/suspension and a body kit. Engine mods tend to cost a fair whack for those cars.

Does any-one know for sure whether or not Monaro headlights fit on the VT, i know they look pretty much the same but will they fit straight in and approx. how much they are? Also does any-one know of a good place to have a monaro style grille put in? Still looking for a good place to do transmition conversions, any recommendations ppl?
