Heya caspy. You can buy it as a VXR Monaro part from Vauxhall I suppose? They'll ping ya a shipload for it though. It will only fit a Monaro as the roofline/rear screen is diff shape to a sedan. U could buy one from any HSV dealer in Oz if you have an HSV build number to quote. I can put you in touch with my Oz dealer if you want one (you can use my #)
As a price guide... I had to replace the centre section (bootlid) of my rear spoiler as it got cracked enroute from Oz. VXR one was 480 pounds from HSV dealer was AUD$470 (plus 70 quid TNT shipping door to door). This was unpainted. I reckon the roof one would be similar price.

No secret... proud, passionate paid up member of Collingwood footy club. Not so happy this morning though.. we are strugglin near the bottom of the ladder with only one win from 5 rounds. Bombers got us by 14 at the Gee in front of 70,000 ANZAC day fans.

Luv windin up these Bimmer boys.... There is a post on their site about a Black Monaro sighting... Couldn't resist signin up to the BMW chat site & havin a laugh.... think I've opened a can of worms though (hehehehehehe), seems the Dr's Dentists & Druglords are a bit toey! Read on for a laff....

"Good to see u bimmer boys admiring the General's finest! I've imported my Black HSV GTS Coupe from Oz and it's the only one in the country so if you see me move over! Now this is a REAL Monaro & I'm getting a bit of a laugh from all you munich taxi drivers trying to take me on! Factory std 420BHP coupe that comfortably seats four and cost me 36K new! Now that's value. It's little brother the GTO coupe is now selling here as the VXR Monaro. yesterday a new 5 series thought he'd have a crack... don't get ambition & ability mixed up lads! Here is a link to a pic of the back of my car so u recognise it as you hit yr 150mph limit and it disappears outta sight.

I like Brian's idea of putting a 2.5 turbo diesel sticker on the back of it, and sitting in the fast lane waiting for some bait.

Sorry to correct you Jason, yours is one of 2 in the UK but yours is the only one on the road and I hate to say it but the new M5 is not likely to be in your rear view mirror for long.

Don't get me wrong, your motor rocks and I luv it

Sorry for that Julian, no sleep since H.I.N., please don't be offended

Bluethunder at Bruntingthorpe have the one that Vauxhall gave them (after pranging it)and is available for track day experiences.

No need for an apology John!

(cheeky grin!)

I'm un-offendable by the way!
I seriously thought though that the car u refer to was a GTO not a GTS. I stand corrected.
