spot on :)

the grey was 2003 series 2 which was a limited run of only 350 all in grey, didn't have as many optional extras to choose from ...

2004 series 3 was a limited run of ONLY 320 and all in pulse red ,with badges in black(except the cv8-r badge on the dash),light surrounds front/rear in smoked black... and what ive found out, they were spread around australia and several were send to usa and re-badged as pontiac ... 10 only came to west australia..

How do you go with the tyres scraping at the rear now its lowered ?
Does it touch around where the bumper meets the guard, mine does.

Looks good though, I always liked that colour and the Speedy Cheetahs :goodjob:

[SS317]

Nice monaro mate, love the boot install :goodjob:

hi mate

yes it did but now its lower that the photo ive had the guards rolled ,so now it only touches when i hit a big bump , so 98% of the time its fine ... i have got 255 rear tyres on now BUT when i first put the rims on they put 275 on , they looked fantastic from the rear but were rubbing so i changed over :)

cheers ozy

[OZY67]

Nice monaro mate, love the boot install :goodjob:

thankyou for that .... :) yes they have done a great job , it looks better in person and the perspex ive had the etching of the hsv symbol light up with inserting a blue fluro light installed inside the spare wheel well.when you open the boot the light lights up the symbol ..

OZY67,
In your first post you state that your CV8-R has bonnet flutes (original), the flutes only came out on the CV8-Z model monaro's not the CV8-R's.
Having said that, beautifull car you have there :goodjob:

[charlie15]

Nice car mate. How wide are the wheels? any chance you know the offset?

Just want to know how wide I can go if I were to buy another set of wheels.

[poony]

OZY car looks fantastic might see you around that traps some the monaro's sure do look the goods hey! weel done.:goodjob:

[Stewge]

Holy Damn that boot install looks awesome :bow:

The red trim is a little loud for my tastes (could just be the light making it look brighter) but I like the interesting centre speaker location ;)

Love that colour.Always been my favourite on the munros.Boot install looks fantastic,but cant say I'm a fan of the speaker set up on the top of the dash.But if you like it thats all that matters.Wheels look great also:goodjob:

[jaykay]

The colour looks so different in the flesh...very nice ride and it was good meeting you on Sunday.
