    HSV Special Edition for Sydney Motor Show

    http://www.cgiautomotive.com/holden/...ary-clubsport/

    Based on what was said in this post by bouka (here) I've messed around and come up with this.

    The calipers, yellow, are not to the script but this is what we'll see if the intel's good.

    Love your work, but I hope not, not the strongest statement HSV could make.

    They could do a GTR spec clubbie with GTS wheels, Red or Black, sat nav, sun roof, leather etc and call it a special edition, but sandstorm is hardly loin stirring (for a special edition, Kawpow, or one of the new hero colours yes) sandstorm is a Senator colour!!!!!!!!.

    The calipers will be black. HSV are offering no extras ie Sat Nav, Sunroof, as standard on this anniversary model. R8 specs only. Add ons all extras. $$ are as with R8, all speculation untill we see the car anyway. Talk off a black stripe also, this will make a huge difference to the final look if I am right.

    Re: HSV Special Edition for Sydney Motor Show

    When you price them both up, standard R8 & 20th Anni, to get them to the same specs you only have 1K difference. 2 me if your in the market anyway & can get hold of one take a chance it may be work something.

    Re: HSV Special Edition for Sydney Motor Show

    I asked why when i heard the color as well. They wanted something different and it looks the goods in the flesh apparently. I think it will look good but will wait for final judgement until we see it.

    I must say that my experience with HSV was exceptional, a great bunch of people. A few teathing problems with mine but pre delivery service was outstanding from the factory.

    Great to hear, colour will take awhile to come around to but I too have been told it is going to be swish. Final judgemet for me will be to late if it looks crap, my deposit is already paid!!

    Great choice dangs, no doubt you will enjoy every second once it arrives. I know it may not be the color that would have been first on many peoples list but to put it into perspective, white would not have been at the top of the list either. And we all know how good white looks in the VE HSV's. I will wait to see it before i decide.
