Are you badging it as a Pontiac GTO ? Although steering wheel badge is Holden not the HSV one

Wasn't our LS2 VXR also the HSV GTO though?
Yes meant to say both the HSV and Pontiac 6.0 were badged GTO
Yes, both that's the intel I got from Julian Q at HSV also.

It's been a while, so by way of an update. The car has been to Monkfish for a service and MOT (MOT not due but wanted to coincide with service), plus other bits and bobs. Car has now done 19k miles and has increased in value according to MF valuation which is nice to know! Had naff Parrot installation removed ditto economiser over steering wheel boss. Wheels are fine, but may get them refurbed let's see.

My paint man did it actually. He has a body shop that restores some very exotic machinery and he did his apprenticeship at Vauxhall, so I figured he would know where all the problems were likely to arise. I think he has done a good job because his paintwork is fabulous. He didn't use much wax oil but I figure he was being precise as to where he was applying it. It's great that it's a hot day today as the waxoil will be busy wicking into all the nooks and crannies as we 'speak'!
