u dont mess around do u

hopefully this one is the one

nice car:goodjob:

[MJR-57T]

Congrats on the new car.
Pitty about the last one but this has a few less k's on it.

Just need to get a zorst and sunroof to bring it up to spec on the first one

[Strick]

Nice work, how much did this one set you back, and did it pass the checks

[M1SSV8]

Yup passed the checks (he does have finance on it, but I can get a VSR for that).
Paid $47500 + OR which isnt the best deal ever, but the car is absolutely immaculate, first reg'd March 08 and low k's.

[boyley]

good to see Kristie:)

You have great taste in colour too

[M1SSV8]

Wooooooo picking it up today!!!!


:bow::bow::bow::bow::bow:

Will post up picks once in my possession!

How freakin exciting:woohoo:

[Curtis-R]

Congrats on the new beast and all the other extra little goodies you get on the HSV :) :goodjob:

[Djbarnstar]

12,000km = just run in.

[steve_t]

Sweet!! Good score!!

[JT]

Great ride you got there

Car is absolutely immaculate and a real credit to the previous owner.

[XUV]

Nice , it's the right colour too :goodjob:

[Alex81]

Nice car, well done and by the way it's still on carsales.


Cheers

[redvxr8clubby]

Awesome looking car - well done. I think the price is realistic for an excellent car - it's only been on the road less than 18 months, and with only 12,000Km on it, you've done well - as long as that finance stuff was properly sorted. Any idea what the first owner paid for it - I'm thinking near $15K or maybe even more. He would have paid less than RRP as he bought it in '08, but it's 07 build. I think March '08 was probably a bit before HSV announced the LS3, so it still wouldn't have been cheap.

[2BCORT]

Good looking car, Paint the wheels black and lower it just about an inch and you will have a Stealth bommer looking car

Looks awesome, only thing its missing IMO is nice new shiney chrome exhaust tips.

Good score.

[M1SSV8]

Cheers guys.

Believe it or not, but its already been lowered :yup: but I agree, the rear atleast needs to be dropped a bit more.
Not sure what ill do with the wheels yet!

LOVE IT!!!!!


Here's my black maloo with black/machine G8's.



Really nice :bow: What size are they? 22's?

[2ajmanvell82]

yeah they're 22's. Also just put on the 20" GTS wheels painted black today going to use for a track day also like the look all black very tough!

http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/ss316/ajmanvell82/029.jpg

I think your Clubbie would look awesome with the black wheels with a thin red wall. very tough!!! nice car and excellent condition by the way!!:bow::bow:

[M1SSV8]

thankya! I love black rims on a black car, but prefer a silver lip. But then again if I didnt have a silver lip, the redwalls might be just enough to break it up :idea:

The other option I thought of was painting the callipers black, and having black rims with a silver lip - get a black and silver "theme" going.

But you just threw a stone into the works with the mention of redwalls. hmmm :goodjob:

[TR33VV]

Maybe black rims with a thin white wall could pull off the look your after... Just food for thought...

Similar to this, with or without the red.

[M1SSV8]

haha thanks... I was just reading that thread too...

Watchout, its time to breakout and brushup on my paint skills and see what I can come up with ;)

[TR33VV]

No worries lol. Good luck...

[2ajmanvell82]

Definately like the idea of white or red walls or both t will also give the effect of a larger wheel otherwise the polished lip will give a smaller appearance. Definately want to c wat u decide!! have fun!!:goodjob:

[TR33VV]

Here's a quick shave job...

Kristie, glad you didnt get the car from mackay as it had been for a rather large swim that the dealer didnt know about.. hope you like your new upgraded SS :P

[Nidz]

I agree with the other bloke.. Just be done with it and go get some Pentagons and be done with it.. I love the car.. I like the purple dials on it..

[M1SSV8]

If you squint and look at the pics, my shonky paint work doesnt look so bad :1peek:

Thanks Mike, it was nice to meet you too! And your cars :drool:

[deans ute]

Congrats on the new toy, i was looking at this one on car sales too for a bit, gave up on the interstate re-registering etc..put it all in the too hard basket.

I reckon the black wheels with a red or white wall would look the goods too with dark as you can stand window tint, but for the time being looks good just nicely lowered, congrats again.

[fishla]

Well done Kristie!!

I'm very happy for you :)

[bigdogdazza]

Ditch the wing Kristie, Ditch the wing! Looks oh so much better, and easier to reverse.:bow:

[cashie]

Keep the wing, keep the wing...!
I like the black wheels Kristie.

[XUV]

Keep the wing , keep the wing :goodjob:
put a reverse camera in if ya worried about seeing behind you .

[HRDHSV]

Nice rig you have there, another vote for keeping the wing here.

[Grommz]

Looks like a nice car indeed always loved black its just so sleek.


But do you really need the drivers seat that close.. ? are you 4ft. :lol:

[JLR]

I was driving down the street on saturday and the plates caught my eye, and i then saw a lady taking photos of the car, and now they are on the forum! Small world! And very nice by the way :)

Nah, the one i originally agreed to purchase had a zorst... this one doesn't.

[nang3]

very nice car, well done !!!

love the black wheel photoshop too, very stealth and tuff looking!

[SSV8TE]

Gday Kristie,
Wheels are such a hard choice to make hey? With your HSV brakes you are also restricted to what sort as well ...:bawl:
But love the ride so congrats.
You should drop up to chevs one sat arvo and meet some of the forum members and talk crap about cars like the rest of us do. Ya never know might even end up on the dyno if ya talk nice enough to chevo too:lmao:
If ya thinking about mods chevo's the local man to talk too.
Best of luck all the same,
Andy.

[M1SSV8]

thanks Andy!
Wheels are proving to be a PIA - I cant find much at all to fit over the brakes :bawl:
Ill keep Chev's in mind... :1peek: I havent thought abt any mods yet, other than getting her too look right! But no doubt, I will meet Chev and the crew soon enough!
:)

[XUV]

why don't you just get your current wheels powder coated black .

it'd look sweet .

Then if you don't like them , there'd be a dozen people here that would buy them from you .

You mite want to be friend someone with a ute .........

[JLR]

BUSTED :1peek: are you local?



LOL. Yeah, pretty much, next suburb. My personal trainer is a few streets up from you and im there every sat, so i'll zoom past again tomorrow at around 10 :)

Chappie and I saw these wheels before they went on and I must say.. they looked good..but on the car they look bloody awsome..good choice...:goodjob:

As usual great work by BD and crew

was going to hang around to meet u miss..but the rain was on its way and I had to get the car home..:confused:

[TR33VV]

They look fantastic... Nice choice...

[huggies]

new wheels look great:)
another fantastic job well done by Protek :cool:
drove past the shop today
the new rims on Johns ute look good too :burnout:

so does the R8 feel much different from the SS ?

[S2VYSS]

Wheels look great on the car and is the first set we have sold at Protek. I think they will be a popular choice

Plus they clear the VE HSV brakes

I don't like them, so what? And in Sydney there are a few out with these rims or very similar.

I hardly think the wheels you're refering to look anything like Kristie's. These are the Vertini Fashions straight from the Ozzy Tyre web site. Not even close.

[Nidz]

The new wheels look good. Suit the car well. They look like snowflakes haha..

[M1SSV8]

thanks guys! A few more bits and im done. Might take off the rear wing this weekend to see how it looks.

Uwish - ofcourse your allowed an opinion - good or bad! But the others are right, wheels were released not long ago. As PP mentioned I really dont think the Vertini Fashions are similar at all!

[Wonky]

Sorry Uwish - was just taking the pi$$. If you see Australian LS1 and Holden Forums (http://www.ls1.com.au/forum/showthread.php?t=123417) posts 32 - 39 you will hopefully see where the WRX comment came from. Of course you're allowed an opinion but it wasn't that I was referring to. It was the "Too many people have these." comment when they've only just come on the market. :)

those wheels make the car IMO !!! if i'd seen them off the car i probably wouldnt have thought much, but they look farken horn on it !!

Maybe one day I'll own a black car, looks hot.

But I am very happy with the white one I have.

Spoiler off today ~ Not sure if im a fan or not.

http://i797.photobucket.com/albums/yy254/M1SSV8/P9060670.jpg

Also swapped the Silver Dash Trim from my old SS... looks 100% better I reckon and not sure why its not standard in the R8?!

http://i797.photobucket.com/albums/yy254/M1SSV8/P9060672.jpg

Gotta love HSV's paint job and dodgy boot lineup!!

[boyley]

Kristie that boot lid can be adjusted, I'm sure you know that. Are you leaing the spoiler off and getting the boot holes filled?

FWIW I like the no spoiler look:goodjob:

[TUFFIE]

Not a fan of big Spoliers. etc...So I like it..looks good.IMO

[Rad Kane]

Hi,

Initially, congrats., on the car, it looks really great.

Should put the spoiler back on it, even if its of the Senator, just looks out of place without the spoiler.

Sweet ride.:)

[SSV8TE]

Looks the goods i reckon.
Tuff looking without the spoiler but personally i still dont mind the spoiler look also.
Wheels look that good in the real that i thinking of getting them on my ute too:goodjob:
The interior def needs some colour contrast and i think the silver strips look awsome.
Good job Kristie.
Cheers,
Andy.

[M1SSV8]

and another....

http://i797.photobucket.com/albums/yy254/M1SSV8/P9060671.jpg

Cheers guys...

Randy :goodjob: on your choice of wheels. Will look mad on the Ute

Getting her dropped a bit lower on Thursday, so will make the decision to leave it off or not after that.

[calais190]

Get the senator lip for the back of the clubby. It looks awesome without a wing imo :) Will look great lowered more! Well done!

[Uncle Tone]

Put the bloody spoiler back on!!! :nutkick:

I saw this car the other day.....very nice wheels.

[SenatorMike]

Hey Kristie I like the look but I reckon a Senator spoiler would be a great addition & it would fill those holes up to.

if you need a Senator build number to get one you can use mine:)

[Ghosn]

Hey Kristie I like the look but I reckon a Senator spoiler would be a great addition & it would fill those holes up to.

AFAIK, the Senator lip and GTS spoiler have different hole positions to each other. So you won't necessarily be filling those holes up, more so just covering them up.



And +1 for no spoiler. I prefer cleaner backs.

[VXSS346]

Put the spoiler back on, :bash: it just looks like its been stolen. :lol:

Cheers :)

[SenatorMike]

AFAIK, the Senator lip and GTS spoiler have different hole positions to each other. So you won't necessarily be filling those holes up, more so just covering them up.



Nope Ghosn that is not correct. HSVGTO did it with His old GTS & both the Sen & GTS spoilers use the same holes

[XUV]

Put the spoiler back on now !!!

The car looks lost/omega without it .

[macca33]

It looks better than it did with the Hercules-sized rear wing. I agree with others - a Senator spoiler will top it off - Senator spoilers pretty much make ANY car look good. (Well, almost as good as a Senator, that is!)

[bad88u]

+1 for the spoiler back on. or senator wing. looks to plain on the rear.

[iloveholden]

Put the spoiler back on...doesnt look right :)

[bouka]

looks like a girls car!

:hide:

I loved my VE R8 and would not have considered taking the spoiler of but love the Senator even more because of the subtle body kit.

Try the Senator spoiler as i think it would be the perfect balance between big and none.

[GenReaper]

Looks better with the spoiler IMO.

[UTESRULE]

ill leave it off looks differerent :goodjob:

but its not up to us is it

[DCV1NU]

Looks good M1SSV8:goodjob: I think the HSV's look better spoilerless than the ss/v's cause i took mine off & it looked kinda weird on some angles.

[Wonky]

Gotta love HSV's paint job and dodgy boot lineup!!

http://i797.photobucket.com/albums/yy254/M1SSV8/P9060674.jpg


Unfortunately Kristie that looks more the result of an accident. Factory paint doesn't tend to chip off like that whereas resprays are more prone to it.

[M1SSV8]

Wonk, the pic doesnt really show the best detail... but it looks like they put the spoiler on whilst the paint was still wet. Its not chipped but more scraped...

Ill try and get clearer pics as its hard explaining it :lol:

P.S anyway I can find out if its been in a accident?

[shel86]

What a sexy car.. .I wonder what the driver is like... hahaha....

[jkgmh]

Also swapped the Silver Dash Trim from my old SS... looks 100% better I reckon and not sure why its not standard in the R8?!
Kristie I changed to the silver trims in my SSV. I also did the steering wheel trim too. It looks great so that may be an idea for you !!

I'm loving your ride !!! :bow:

JK :)

Oh well, that was the information I was given by a senior HSV Dealer ... In that case, better for me as I will most likely be converting mine to a Senator lip down the track.

[Millsy]

NICE ARSE!!! with no spoiler of course :D

[aedeau]

how do you find the ride height? much scrapage around shopping centres, driveways etc? I'm keen on walkinshaw springs/25mm drop

[EXCESSV]

Wonk, the pic doesnt really show the best detail... but it looks like they put the spoiler on whilst the paint was still wet. Its not chipped but more scraped... its probably someone taken spoiler off after its been put on too tight and scratched the paint work.
cover with some touch up paint and not letting it fully dry then putting the spoiler back on

looks good spoilerless and yeah a senator lip would finish it off but at $800 for the part plus painting........its a hard decision

[XUV]

P.S anyway I can find out if its been in a accident?

no way really ,
you can check your plates at the VicRoads (http://www.vehiclestatuscheck.vicroads.vic.gov.au/VehicleInput.aspx) site
but that'll only tell you whether it's been written off , which it hasn't

[M1SSV8]

Ride hide is fine... have had no scrapage at all bar one driveway which I reckon a standard height car would scrape on anyway.
Im actually getting is lowered more.

It actually looks like the spoiler was put on while the paint was still wet ( its only touch dry as opposed to dry dry!), and scraped/smudged the paint on the edges
:shock: EIGHT HUNDRED DOLLARS! NO THANKS :spew:

I think this accident damaged R8 was a better buy than the other accident damaged one you nearly bought.

Another vote for the Senator lip. Spoiler-less looks odd, whereas the Senator one looks quite smart and not over the top.

[zorro]
