What's wrong with silver? I've always found that Platinum Silver is one of the nicest EA colours. I loved that colour even before I bought my EA. It's a classy colour, it looks elegant, it can just gleam in the sun, and it hides dust really well.

It does need clear indicators, and I agree the door handles do need colour coding (something I still haven't done), but other than that it looks great

personal preference.
id never ever buy another e series unless its either black or cobalt blue or a white el xr.

anything else in my opinion just looks alot older than what it is.

also id never buy an ea or a ed xr6 or eb gt lol purely cos they r ugly

EA ugly? Besides a few minor differences, it looks nearly the same as an EB or ED!

I much prefer the darker EA style interior (well, in Ghia form anyway) over the pale grey EBII/ED interior. As for the exterior, sure the EB and ED look better, but not by much. The EA GL in stock form looked crap, but S-pack and Ghia were great looking cars. Plus you have to respect the EA. If it wasn't for the EA, the EBII wouldn't even exist. The EA was such a good looking car, they thought if it aint broke, why fix it, and therefore kept most of it the same. But everyone has a different opinion. I just don't like it when people bag out tidy looking silver EAs

The issue is that you effectively called ALL EAs disgusting. Some of them are crap, but some of us EA drivers take a lot of pride in our cars, and don't like it if people criticise them. If you'd said that you simply aren't a fan of EAs it wouldn't be too bad, but calling them revolting is just stupidity. I can put up with Holden fans dishing out the abuse but when E-series members start dishing it out too, I can't say I enjoy that

as much as i want to have a dig here i would rather not get whatevered by laminge and step out of this, personally im not a fan of ea's to say they are butt ugly is a fair bit of an overstatement i am sorry if i have offended any ea owners out there.

well said Dezza..... and its also that the whole point of forums is for positive feed back and incursagment even though he/she is not in the club..... if you want people to help with you're manual conversion this is not the way to reply to people in the club.

Need to fix door handles, ride height and front indicators, other than that the car looks sweet as

I like EA's - lightest E-series, and without them, we wouldn't be able to ditch the battery holder and fit EA coolant reserviors to our EB/EDs to make room for four inch turbo intake pipes

Go the EA.Its bad enough everyone else out there thinks EA's are crap but worse still when we 'hang ****' on eachother in our own club.The main thing is the guy who owns this car thinks the world of it and good on him.Probably not to keen on becoming a member know hopefully he might rethink an oppitunity if it arears.
