Big boot

[bigju]

Is the CV8 the only Monaro with the bigger boot? I need the practicality but find the styling a bit bland (prefer the bonnet scoop etc).

04 5.7L VXR is the one for you then
Not many around, but they come up from time to time.
Its my favourite of the lot.

Agree with ringram, you need one just like mine

Good luck though, as there are only 59 others out there, and even less in the fastest colour

[bigju]

nice.

thanks for the tip off. looks like the bigger bumper and spoiler - but no nostrils ?

i'll have a look around...

Ive gone off the nostrils, I would probably swap bonnets if i thought the standard bonnet would fit.

Monkfish were doing a deal on nostril bonnets which are a straight swap, I've been considering changing my 04 VXR recently, what sort of car are you looking for?

Standard will fit. Fancy a swap then? Seriously.

Yeah and side skirts and exhaust and interior and suspension... etc.. As mentioned just swap bonnets over

Couldn't agree more...

Yep black that's wot I got. I got nice rims too but I don't know how to post the damn photos (duh! I hear you say)....... Perhaps one of you kind fellows will enlighten me. Oh I also ditched the nasty Vauxhall badge on the bonnet.

go to the faqs and there is a link half way down. post your pics to photbucket then use the "URL" to cut and paste in your reply. its dead straight forward. did it in 2 mins an hour or so ago.
needless to say, i don't have any pics of the brute to hand but here's one of the local birds......

[Groutie]

What a good chap.
Well, hopefully, here's the old girl now. Pretty isn't she......

[phrich]

That is sooo clean I can see through it.

Technically there's no difference, as they're blocked off. All show and no go
Nice wheels Groutie, I don't suppose you've got a spare original one I could swap for a few quid? One of mine is a mess

Yer I know, the pun was whether to have nostrils or not. It a purely asthetic decision

Don't know what you have on your car but my bonnet has rubber inserts that you can remove. Even the rubber inserts have holes in them.

[Groutie]

Sorry Zym, my local man had the old ones refinished and cut me a deal on selling them to a guy with a CV8 who wanted them for track days...
BTW mine originals were different to yours....trying to find a photo now


Oh, I lied they are the same I forgot. Either way they're gone sorry. Mine were fairly messy too. what about the refinishing. £50 per wheel and they can work miracles
