did you do the brake conversion yourself or have it done professionally?? im just looking at the options available to me, as i was looking at going UC on the front andchangine to a complete commodore disc brake LSD (VK). but later model commy would be tonnes better. CHEERS Chris also what was the grille u had in the car?? have you still got it and photos?? looked kinda RX3ish in the photo. Whats the best its run??

Chris i bought the conversion kit from hopper stoppers ($1000) and fitted it myself(easy).Very good product and worth the money.Grille was a lj with all the centre cut out and mesh put in,I used it to clear my old cooler set up.Ive still got it here.Best run to date is [email protected] Kevin........

interesting to dechrome your bumpers/headlight surrounds yet get chrome rims. You should consider getting frosted rims to match!
