+1 was going to suggest this. Much cheaper to get the existing seats re-trimmed. Got a quote for a seven seat suv cloth seats re-trimmed with pleather, was around $2k mark for all 7 if I remember correctly. Would be much cheaper and you can have the color of your choice.

Yes, I had the VCM OTR installed by DPM and didn't have to ask for the stock, they put it in the VCM box and kept it in the boot for me when I picked up the car.

This one is not the Walky pack, this has a VCM OTR and tune from DPM. Walkinshaw is essentially the same but coming from the dealership is 'apparently' covered under the warranty that's all.

+1 , although I had Dunlop Sport Maxx on my car as I got them at a good price 4S were recommended to my by the tyre shop as well as number of others including on this forum.

Pull out the bi-modal fuse, intake and tune should keep you happy for a while. Those are the only three things I did with my clubby. Plus get some good tyres as suggested already. I had dunlop SP sport max, and they had good wet/dry performance, while being much less noisier than the factory...

No problem. Just check the usual stuff like service history, it hasn't had any accidents, tyres are in good condition as they are expensive to replace etc.. Check out the brakes as they are an expensive item to replace as well. Do a PPSR check and get a mechanic inspection prior to purchase.

You are right Forg, Clubsports dont have MRC, only Senators and GTS and above got it. To the OP, there is a difference in the VF1 6ltr and vf2 (Gen F HSV) LS3 drive. I 'had' the clubsport with the SV pack in auto which I sold a few weeks back. Although the 6 speed auto is quite good, I would go...

As mpower suggested, go with the OTR, Full exhaust and tune. I got an OTR and tune for my R8 earlier this year, which made it even more fun to drive. I was thinking of getting a catback just to make it a little bit more noisy, but the tune shop (DPM) suggested it won't give me anything in term...

I actually looked at the 300 SRT8 when I bought my R8, never test drove it as R8 was definitely better value in a better overall package. Americans do stuff a lot of luxury features in their cars, but SRT8 in particular is not that much of a luxury being an old ageing platform with a basic...

Thanks Forg, there are a number of options I've thought about. First of all, I don't need a car immediately so the idea is to survive with one car or maybe buy a cheap runabout for a few months until the prices get back to somewhat normal. The options I have looked at so far - C/GLC 63s but...

I've been thinking about selling my R8 since the start of the year, but every time I get close to putting it up on car sales, my heart says I will regret it. Although the replacement will be a V8 in some form, this car has a lot of emotional value attached to it. I've owned it since new for...

Thats the reason I shop around every couple of years :)

I received a $50 gift voucher for each of my policies with QBE. I didn't ask for it though, they just have a campaign going on for the Victorian policy holders.

I have HID low beams in my R8 for the last 3 years or so. As others said, they are slow to light up so not suitable for high beam (I still have the halogens in high beam for that reason and just been lazy not to change them to led :-)) I purchased them from 'Night Vision Oz' and got them...
