Am I happy with it ... I love it. :dance:

[mad_monaro]

MATE!!! That looks the DUCKS GUTS!!!! Well done!!

[Blown 454 AWD]

Looks great mate, I'll have a better look at the up coming diner.

Makes me wonder what happen to all the VY bolt on ones that were meant to be available, would like to have one on before the skid pan the get the heat out from under the bonnet.

It gives the coupe 4 the edge :cool:

[OzMystic]

Thanks Steve ... maybe you could just take the bonnet off :lol:

Of interest, not sure if they are all like this, mine has rubber plugs in the scoops. They fit in from underneath and block off the opening completely, they just pop out if you want the scoops open. I assume it's just to keep stuff (water?) out of the engine bay ???

[Padina]

That looks very, very nice Nick. :drool: would love to see it in person too, too bad your up in NSW. :rolleyes:

Cheers... :)

Not sure about mine mate - I know they are blocked off, but with what I don't know, because I have never seen it without the insulation off.

It was your post that made me want to get it done. Just with Sam doing the stroker, and a few other reasons, it has taken a little longer than I originally hoped. So I guess I thank you for your post ... my wife probably doesn't though :lol: First thing she said when I got home was, "OK, it looks very good, but that's the last thing isn't it", I just said "for now" :lol:

:cheers:

[HazzaHSV]

Very brutal but classy at the same time. You going to take it around a track.. i reckon its pleading you to take it around a track.. and with that awd stroker i reckon its gonna move...

Have fun!

Just a thought how would the Chroming of the intake rim to match the grill surround look. Something different? Just a thought.

[Vulture]

The word "tough" really does describe it. Looks perfectly integrated into the overall look of the car. Love it.

That looks a bit like a AMG Merc... Looks tuff!

[NickS]

That looks awesome UT ... only problem is that unless those rims are about 30 inches I can't see myself fitting in the car :lol: Head room isn't a strong point already. Looks very Le Mans supercarish though, top job :thumbsup:

I assume you mean the lower intake on the bumper ? Could look good but there is not a seperate border there. If you look at the section between the lights you will see that the chromed bit is a seperate border. Not sure it would really be possible ???

[NickS]

May be you have taken your courage pills tonight ryzz you must have forgot that i am bigger than you :box: :lol: but i will try to be there to see that awzome awd go round and no skirt just a g string for you sweetie hope you wear your high heels and the rest of the special gear you got at the martigras. :flip2: :stick: :whip: :limpy: :flipoff: :rolleyes:
Not sure you really want to be making him angry Ryzz ... he is a big boy remember :kapow: :nutkick: :box:

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Mate, any lower and I wouldn't be able to get into driveways, plus if I hit a dip in the road at speed the rears scrub ... so it won't be going any lower :D

A few other photos that may be somewhat interesting;

Sorry, I meant the bonnet nostril border in chrome.

[NickS]

Sorry, I meant the bonnet nostril border in chrome.
Would certainly be different ... however I'm pretty sure that, in my eyes, it would ruin the look of the scoops. I like how they blend in with the front, they don't stand right out, with chrome borders it would just be a bit over the top for my liking. Thanks for the feedback though :thumbsup:

[mr coupe4]

ah well if you cant beat them join them, Nick the bonnet goes on in 2 weeks, by the way like the plates

[Sonnymad]

Nick

Thanks Sonny, it works a treat, makes the front look much more agressive, more GTO and less Grange ... which suits the rest of the car I reckon :cheers:

Did you wet the bed mate what were you doing up at 4.30 am :rolleyes: :lol:

[NickS]

Did you wet the bed mate what were you doing up at 4.30 am :rolleyes: :lol:
:lol: Yea, still trying to get the hang of that potty training thing :doh:

But seriously, I get up at 3:45am every day, best time of day. I don't want to sleep my life away, waste of time :D Get more work done but still spend time with the family, afford nice things etc. etc. I know most people think I am mad but it's worked for me so far :thumbsup:

[fatas]

Yes ill sleep when im dead as the song goes bed is just a waste of time that you could be doing something better with. :cool:

[NickS]

No mate ... not me. My plates are on, front and back, always. If you take them off you may as well stick a sign on your car saying "Pull me over please" :lol:

[YLD57L]

Looks awesome. Backed up with all paw grip and stroker grunt! :thumbsup:

Did anyone else notice the parking of the 'other' VZ nostril'd Coupe4. Scary. :confused:

[ACT_Cross8]

Looks good Nick, 'cept for the grille, which I reckon looks too much like a F*RD. I reckon it would look better with the standard recessed Monaro grille. Sorry for the insult, just my opinion of course :stick:.
