    Re: Genuine VZ R8 CLUBSPORT?

    There was Ignition coloured VZ's.....I've got a 06 Maloo R8 in Ignitions even says it on the build plate. There's not very many of them at all but from what I was told by HSV they were a HSV special order to do the last few in the colour. Not sure if the Sedans got it but Maloo's definately did since they were still being built in the VZ's while the VE sedans were already in production ( remember VE utes didn't come out until a fair time after the sedans ). PS ignore my drivers door, its the wrong shade of Ignition after it was repaired.

    Having not seen a VZ in that colour, I really really like it. I know the VZ sedans got a "limited" run of that Turismo blue and Devil Yellow but havent heard of them in Ignition
    The colour looks so different on the Z

    I'd be thinking the Maloo would be a late 06 the colour most likely available since the E series sedans were released. I would guess it would be built after say September 06? Looks good.

    The vz utes both holden and hsv got ignition cos the ve sedan was released at the same time hence ignition being available. Fusion was only available on vz hsv's. Ignition was not available on vz sedans

    Yeah I've spoken to a mate thats a panel beater recently and said the same thing about it looking different to Ignition on the VE's, which he said it prob would be because Holden have always had different batch's of colours etc, so you'll have ones with more gold, more orange, more black and so on. Says its a pain in the arse for them if they don't have the exact batch number etc of the car they're working on.

    Here's the Build plate, as old mate can see, def has the R8 stamped on it.

    Yeah, that makes a lot of sense with the batches. Never really thought about the slight variations
    My R8 also has it stamped on the build plate - Hopefully noone buys this other one thinking its genuine...
