Looks great Mick!
Love the clean white look:goodjob:

Looks good Mick even in 4WD spec...like the rims :driving:

Thanks guys looked at the redline black rims & they don't seem to sit right in many colors, though happy with the SSV.

yeah, the rims are nice, bonnet looks the goods, do the vents work? got a front on pic of bonnet?

A mates looking at the same, said similar about the Redline, trading his crewie 6.0 M6 Thunder

Yes, vents are open

Front on view & yes checked out the vents open to the bay & drain to guards if raining etc.

I originally ordered my Ute in white and after a few days changed the order.

Now I see how good Micks looks I’m starting to wonder if I’ve done the right thing.

This is something I am really curious about. How do you go with handbrake starts Mick when it's a bloody button?

My wife drives a renault with elec handbrake and it is fantastic. Works as a hill hold.
You can have the handbrake on and the moment you touch the accelerator it automatically turns off.
I would assume holden would be the same, but could be wrong

Yes I found out it's HSA! Hill Start Assist & it does auto disengage on uptake in the M6.

The vents are a nice touch, what models are they on?

I like the 'Power bulge' in the VF's , you could accentuate it quite nicely to accommodate a whipple

The bonnets are light as on these things you practically have to drop them to close! The vents appear on SSV & Redlines.
Just took it for a hours drive down the freeway, effortless motoring & loving this engine/drivetrain too!

That is how it works in our Captiva. Have often wondered how effective they are if you have a brake failure on a steep descent though.

Actually that's a good question. You're always taught that if your brakes fail, to reach for the handbrake.........which is now a hill assist button.......yay, full of confidence now!

The electric brake will come on at speed, abruptly at first then gradually as it is designed. All of us who went from an E to an F have found that out winding up our driver's window....
