I got some HSV's centres from walkinshaw's a couple of months back, Good service, not a bad price either.
Give them a call first. 01608 672929

I think you might even find that Walkinshaws work out cheaper (and quicker).

Holden yes but shouldn't we be able to know the build number? Saying that i don't suppose they were important enough in Oz just being Holden rather than the rebuilt ones don't by HSV
I guess we didn't warrant a build numbercry

You still have a vin number. It's visible on your windscreen - (not the "COL MEL" at the top). wink

I had a look just a min ago with a torch, took a pic of the plate under the bonnet or should we say "hood" ? atleast I did find my paint code, which I needed to get because I chipped my skirt paint with the stty car jack handle that Vauxhall supply, now I have my alluminium chequer plate jacking points, I will not be doing this again.

You'll upset the purists putting HSV caps on a Holden mate. Make sure you get the right size too. I think the 18" CV8 wheels take approx 60mm caps and VXR 19"'s take 64mm caps. Best to get out there and measure to be sure.

There are these bad boys, but man they are expensive:

I learnt, a long time ago, that I can't please everyone, so I just do my best to please those who are important to me.

Do what you want, and to those who don't like it, fek 'em all. shoot
