    Wow man. Looks awesome in white. I wish they had white in the SRiT range.

    And it looks good with the chrome on the front grill and air dam.

    Hi and welcome.

    White = :dance:

    Definately looks good

    The clunk you hear is completely normal. It's the ABS doing a check on itself, and it only happens once you get to around 20kms. Nearly all cars i've driven do it to varying degrees, but I feel that's what's happening with yours

    Also, the VXR and SRi Turbo front bumpers are identical, apart from the lower lip (same with the rear... different lower skirt but same upper bumper). So if you have trouble with VXR parts, the SRi T bumpers may be an option

    White is probably one of the more rare colours for the AH... Great choice Click here to enlarge... Just wondering, did you get the rear without the Holden badge?

    ask OPC if he is nice enough to give you his VIN and go order the real VXR front bar. with Fogs given the cost of the TS Sri bar with fogs will prob come in @ just over 1K.
    he shouldn't need it, but if he does ill be more than happy to give him my VIN

    Nah i debadged it myself. I had asked the dealer about it. The sales guy said that the cars actually come with Opel badges (I. KNOW!). When i requested that they get left on, he said it was a contract they had with Holden that they had to remove and destroy the badges and then rebadge with a holden set. Click here to enlarge

    If you're wondering how to debadge it it's really easy:

    1. Leave your car in the sun for a bit so the glue warms up a little. The longer the better. I left it for 10 minutes and it was...ok.

    2. Get some dental floss - do a few loops of this because 1 line isn't strong enought.

    3. Just stick it between the badge and the surface and just "sawing" away at the glue until it finally peels off.

    4. Clean and polish. They'll be some black gunk on the surface after. Just peel and peel and peel and it should come off easy. Little speck remains I just used some surface cleaner and it came right off.

    Don't know if thats the BEST method but it worked for me Click here to enlarge

    Yer I went to Parts today @ my local dealer after dropping my car off for service and asked them about pricing for some stuff. I inquired about the SRI-T front bar. I was told its a:

    3 Piece kit (Grill, Bumper, Lower Bumper) - $1200 Unpainted and unfitted.

    He also said that if I ordered it, they don't guarantee that it'll fit.

    That's pretty steep. I didn't ask about the vxr front because I didn't want to keep my lift home waiting but I'm guessing I wouldn't need the VIN.

    Thanks a lot for the offer OPC I shall shoot you a PM if i decide to go for the vxr front and need a VIN Click here to enlarge
