Thanks it gives me a rough idea now. The only odd thing is the chrome strip looks too far away fromt he moulds running along the doors.

Darren prices would be great I actually pm you last night as well.

Why the hell not? An AU needs all the help it can get!(LOL) But seriously,the art of customizing is all about "Daring to different" Not everyone wants to drive a clone car-same body shape and only badge engineered.
Good on ya!

IMO, they look out of place.
In that, the body lines (lower ones around the sills, higher ones on the doors) all flow from one to the next, but the vents are just out on their own.
Sort of like a 'shag on a rock'.
Just my opinion.

As said earlier, 'modifying' it means something different from the rest, and that would certainly be different.

I seen the ones yesterday on a hsv grange model. They where simliar but not very noticable two chrome strips instead of 1 and would look alot better I think. Im just wondering is it possible to get ones off HSV? or would I need a Vin number?

To buy any HSV part from a Holden dealer you need to provide the VIN number and proof of ownership.
