Picked up this beauty a couple of weeks ago from Monaro55



Couple of questions

Could do with a decent set of mats, any links of where to source some?
Holden badges? Found them on Ebay for around £40 each from down under, is this typical price?
Washer jets are dire, i swapped my Vectra ones for Insignia jets, is this possible on the Monaro?

So far loving it

Hi lovely car and welcome to the mad house. regarding washer jets I should see no problem, and if you want colour code spray them before fitting, I did this with my washer jets and they look far better than black and wont fade to grey.

Enjoy, I am sure there will be others along shortly with other advise if you require it.

Good call, hadn't thought about that

Welcome wavey

Car looks lovely, perfect weather for picking up a Monaro hehe

GSD2000 on here swapped his washer jets over for mistier ones, I'm not sure what vehicle they were from though...

The forum is a little quieter than it used to be but someone will help you out soon enough.

Badge prices sound about right, AUD is stronger now I think which doesn't help. Obviously any of them that are already in the UK are probably stuck to cars so you'd need to get pretty lucky. There's a facebook group that it may be worth asking on, as people could then actually reply with prices etc. if they had some they wanted to sell you smile

Regarding carpets, I got some custom made ones from ebay, I think I put in Monaro carpets, and scroll untile you find ones that you can have made to say what writing you have on them. the words were weaved into carpet not stencilled on. Hope this helps.
