Default VZ Maloo with bulge

Saw this the other day as it flew past in the other direction. Managed to get some photos of it today though. Looks awesome I think, suits the kit just as well as it suits the falcon

I wonder if it was an ex QLD ute?
I remember seeing a yellow maloo with bulge at a show in brisbane that had fitted a bulge to gain some clerance for a supercharger...

But it looks great, there is a company making the bonnets, but i can't recall the name. there is a nice candy apple purple VU2 running round witha bulge as well.

If it's on a Ford, it's a Bulge. On a holden it's a "CAMEL TOE". Let's get it right fella's.

These opposition guys always seem to be stealing things from Fords.
9 inch diffs, top loaders, shaker scoops, twelve slotters, and now bulges!
What do we ever want from them?

Exactly right. I wonder why no one has ever put a set of Honeycomb's on their Phase III. By the way, im still looking for a VL Walkingshaw Bathtub boot spoiler for my EA. I will fit it WHEN HELL FREEZE'S OVER.

Deep down they know Fords are better, they just don't want the other Holden loving bogans to know incase they are seen not to be following the flock.

I must be the odd one out, I dont like it. The lines on the bonnet are too strong and pronounced and the buldge too smooth IMO. I definitely prefer the Monaro scoops on the Holdens.

I'm with you there, it's not quite following the lines of the bonnet. However, if it's providing needed clearance for a supercharger, I would probably have done the same. I do like the scoops on the Monaros though.

no boss302 sticker?

Someone should stick a ford oval on the side when he's not looking :

Ive seen a couple of dunnydores with the bulge.Makes me laugh course there trying to make them look like the falcons:-)I dislike them on holdens. If you want a bulge buy a ford XR and ford didnt make the bulge for looks,its there so the big boss will fit under the hood :-D

It looks good but for gods sake, why use one that looks exactly like the one off a BOSS Falcon!!

I just don't understand these Holden people :

I like it as well, I think it does look good with the bulge. But just another Holden owner wishing he had the ford after he got the holden ha ha .....
