Less that 2 weeks ago i decided to put my mazda ute on carsales for something to do and the next day a guy rang up about it and bought it.

So i got it ready for delivery....

On thursday I took it up to sydney to its new owner and stopped in at a dealership and collected this......

First stop was to get some more goodies...

The next day ( yesterday ) i had it lowered and the windows tinted and a number plate change.

Needs a decent Paint Correction though. Keep an eye out for an up and coming thread.

congrats dude, great color choice, now run some matt vinyl stripes up the bonnet

not a personal dig, but i find it funny that Holden are using the Pontiac bumpers and branding them special editions, when in reality they're just abiding by their contractual supplier agreements after GM went broke and stopped ordering Pontiacs

I think you need to update the style of your number plates as it just doesn't look quite right.

haha, yeah, for a Holden its not too bad at all Smile

The US number plates are a slightly different size and format, so I guess thats why the Aus plate doesnt sit quite right. Maybe a slimline will look better on the front?
True about the previous post... Holden had to get rid of these pontiac front fascias somehow so thats how we ended up with the SS 'special edition'. Notice how theres no room for the holden badge?
I do digress though... nice ute Cam, enjoy!

Precisely what I was going to say, could you not get the slimline plates with a red background?

Very Happy

im suprised they dont just put one on the bonnet edge

also notice the orange reflectors on the sides of the bumper...that's US legislation

here's how they ruin a bmw bumper....then to make it worse, they permanently turn on the indicators Confused

agreed, the stock rears were the only niggle when it came to the purchase. Looks rubbish but will still do 12s quarters stock. Mine now sitting on 20"x10" rears with a 295 tyre. Very Happy

Not a huge fan of the new front personally, but love the red v8 ute Cam... Congrats mate.

And how bad is the paint condition that it needs correction?
