Thanks All,
It is good to see that in the few minutes since I started this thread I have received 9 replies! This is clearly a good forum and I look forward to being part of it.
With all the mods the car has there is not much I can do!
Who am I kidding, for a start there is that rear end. These cars look good from every angle apart from the back and let's face it, this is the view most road users will see, albeit briefly. It looks a bit too Vauxhall Omega for my liking. I remember seeing images of Monaros with a different rear valance / diffuser in matt GRP black and I would consider replacing the rear lights if there is anything better out there. Can anyone point me in the right direction of a good supplier?
Cheers,
B

welcome to the Odyssey club. Glad you saw sense in the end; you will love it but your wallet will suffer as the modding bug sets in.

Rear lights wise you have a few options, JHP in OZ I think they are called seem to stock quite a few (although the exchange rate is bollox at the moment I would probs hang on)
Also they have a few different rear bumpers but beware altering those as they dont all match your standard side skirts etc but have a look.
Found the website as I was typing!

Lovely, lovely car you got there mate. Here's an option for tail lights, got a set for mine last year and they're very reasonably priced too!

Standard back end will grow on you, but you could get the 3 piece VXR boot spoiler - but they are not cheap! Monkfish will probably have one. Suggest that fitting and painting will set you back the best part of a grand...
Nice car though!
