Oh yeah, you're right.

Forgot about that, but yeah you can tell the extra lines on the SR's bumper too and the spoiler gives it away. Cheers for the correction.

Lol, nah the owners trying to make it look like an EVO IV, makes sense since the protons were supposedly recycled Mirages/Lancers.

Nope. That's a BF.

The BA SRs had the BA front bar.

Ah, quite right. I'd never noticed that the painted crossbars go in different directions.

Damn shame seeing as how the Hyundai Coupe and the Prelude 4WS coupe are actually pretty good cars...

I remember Clarkson commenting on the new Hyundai Tiburon and saying that there were complaints it looked "too much like a Ferrari" from some angles. He said "I'm sorry, but that's like complaining because your wife looks too much like Cameron Diaz"...

Hahah nice job! Atleast you caught it pretty quick. I hope it didn't wreck the discs although they'll probably need skimming

Who said I'm trolling? I do have a genuine appreciation for the VN & VP models of Commodore. Some of Holden's best work right there!
