The clips on the centre console are always breaking. Have a search around, but I'm not sure there's been a good solution found.

For the sun visor, try raving or speed4u on here. They both break Monaros and VXR8s. If you get no joy from them, check ebay UK US and Oz. The US had the Pontiac GTO, which was basically a Monaro VXR, so parts like sun visors should be interchangeable.

Spotted this car on Thursday going through Funtley nr Fareham, I was in the silver cv8, we exchanged thumbs up. Was this the new or old owner? Looked nice and shiny. I also have the wortec exhaust and it's brilliant. A good brake upgrade is to use DBAs and Monkfish pads if you don't want to spend 2k on the APs. Better than stock but obv not as good as APs.

Its was the test drive, I drove the car up to North Wales later that day. I was surprised to see another that day but a pleasant surprise. I will look into the DBA`s, thanks.
