Now that looks incredibly familiar....right down to the tinted windows.... I am no longer unique :mad:

Is it an official VXR500 or retro-fit?

Cool..... what Number?

...by the way, I was retro-fit, but was the first :D

[RollingStone]

Typical, my Pc doesn't want to load images today. But if it is similar to BO55's monaro it's a very good car. BTW I had a sneak peek at you car B055 when I went to the A1 GP at Brands Hatch, beautiful car you've got there.

Blimey, that was over a year ago... what a memory.

[Andrew]

Thankyou everyone! :D

I didn't realise they were numbered?! Where do they number them... I should really know this lol!

[BO55 VXR]

Thankyou everyone! :D

IIRC they came with a "Certificate of Authenticity"... All Monaro's CV8/VXR have a "build number" on plate on the bonnet slam panel on the bonnet but the VXR500 was a customisation by Vaux/Greens/Wortec

FYI, my HSV build number is 0064

[BO55 VXR]

To add... if you don't have a Certificate, send a PM to caspy (http://www.vxronline.co.uk/forum/member.php?u=54) and ask him for confirmation

[HSV-VXR]

It's official. Picked it up from it's place of birth (Greens) and everything lol.
Hmm Real " Birth Place " Is HSV in Australia :p

Looks great.

'tis true, .... so you could say that it "came of age" at greens:cool:

Well put!!

[Andrew]

Haha... that or a re-birth... I'm not sure.

I don't have a certificate, no. I bought the car from Greens after it had been sold back to them from it's first owner, who I understand wasn't getting much use out of it. It had 900 odd miles on it. Presumably he kept hold of the certificate if one was issued. It was Brian (aka Caspy?) who put me on to the car in the first place. Will send a PM... I like certificates lol :D

[BO55 VXR]

It was Brian (aka Caspy?)

Correct

[sparticus]

You steal another member's ride?:D Kidding! Looks good, bro.

[Noose]

[TwinSport]

[robgarns]

I am looking for a mint "original 15" VXR500.

No look alikes or aftermarket cars and must have all original documentation. Will go to a very good long term home!

Any leads appreciated

[BO55 VXR]

Now that's a wicked picture....

[VXRDean]

Love the wheels, looks great!

[Andrew]

Thank you very much for the comments everyone! :) Looks wise I'm happy with it now, apart from the ride height lol.

[Tempy]

Is your front plate smaller Andrew? If so, where did you get it from. Mine is standard size which is too small for the space on my Ro. I want to get one that fits properly.

[BO55 VXR]

Thank you very much for the comments everyone! :) Looks wise I'm happy with it now, apart from the ride height lol.

Get yerself a set of AVO coilovers.... wide degree of adjustablility in ride-height and bump/rebound and is adjustable on the car.... See Wortec or Monkfish

Yeah, it's on the list, along with bushes, diff cover, quick steering rack, 9psi... and so on lol. So many mods, so little money!! :-)

Re the plate, I get all mine from http://www.fancyplates.com It's the same width as the plate holder on the bumper, and they'll do pretty much any size you want. :)

[Tempy]

Thank you very much. Will order replacements tomorrow.

[Tempy]

Plates ordered, delivered, and fitted to the Ro. Looks so much better with the smaller plate on the front. Cheers for the link Andrew. Very happy.

[wild cars]

I love the inside, nice and simple and Clean!
