Thought I'd show off my new addition, it's taken a few months to get it on as wanted to get the genuine w427 fog light brackets from hsv which was a nightmare as they won't sell any w427 parts without providing a vin number for one but managed to find a holden dealer that could get me them luckily, emailed allmost all of them in Australia trying to get them

all in cost around 2.5k, I spent most of last year waiting for a bumper to show up that wasn't damaged but gave up in the end, then in March one popped up on ebay for £1100 from one of the well known race teams there so I bought it but while it was being packaged it got cracked so they got onto hsv and managed to get me a brand new one from the factory at no extra cost which would have been at least double that so was pretty lucky really,
Shipping was door to door airfreight including all import tax and duty and insured around £750
Gts fog lights about £300 and brackets another £300 paint was £200 and the grills from Germany around £40
I'm still waiting for the brackets that clamp the bumper up to the wheel arches to come from oz, the one thing I coulnt get was a plastic bit that goes along the bottom of it but it lookes ok without it
