    vf gts lifts it,s skirt and shows underneath...........

    hey all

    just a few pics i took today underneath one. they might interest a few people who wouldn,t normally see one..... i couldn,t help but notice the huge space behind the diff where the spare wheel would normally go is now covered with a plastic cover but has a lot of open spaces. great for collecting stones. if you have a cat check it,s not curled up inside before you take off. hahahaha

    cheers tezza

    Thanks for that! Those wheels are...I won't say ugly, but I would say an acquired taste.

    I reckon they look pretty good, I wouldn't mind a set for the Clubby.

    Lol....yeah...I keep looking at that pic and I'm not sure that I outright hate them, but let's say that if I bought a GTS I'd be looking for new wheels.

    Cheers for the pics

    For such a monster of a car, the wheels really are the "let down" of the package - they just look so little with the brakes behind them

    That rectangular looking box under the floor plate in JK's pic is where the compressor and goo hide. The circular porthole thing leads into the open spare recess which as mentioned elsewhere is open at the front (truncated at the front to let the suspension cross member fit) and it is also open at the back. I cannot get the porthole open though, I suspect it is glued shut. Need to ask Andrew.

    I remember reading that it is to help stop tramping. Probably a harmonics issue perhaps?
