The front's like a HSV Maloo and the backs like a GTS. It's not that bad :Paperbag:

Yes, even a 3L option now. In the olden days you could get a Commodore with a 1.9L 4cyl!

Looks identical to a VZ HSV clubsport/R8 which never arrived in the UK, only it has the smaller engine. It looks like a professional job as they have used all the HSV spoilers.

Shame it doesn't fit though. The swage line doesn't follow between panels.

And even the front guards too. The car just needs 2 more cylinders now to finish it off.

They look the same as my VZ Maloo. The front and rear bars are the genuine article too.

Hello,

Maybe I will get called for this, personally I think it looks like the VZ Clubsport and apart from the black strip not continuing all around the car it looks ok.

For the starting price I dont think it is bad value for money either, ok, needs a leather interior but looks ok.

Cheers
Steven

nice to see his bumpers are a differt colour to the rest of his car - keeping with the OEM look then....

As for the lines not meeting up, an afternoon with a pot of filler could sort that, just need to "sort" the engine IMHO!

Think its a bit past your bed time mr wolf, your eyes are playing tricks on you... The only matched up paint on that car are the flutes, the rest is how it came from the factory lol
