VF2 SS-V Redline Manual
Cuda if its a genuine Holden warranty and can afford it, id do it. Theres nothing like 5 yrs peace of mind. My series 2 was a Feb 2017 build and when i bought it all the stars were aligned cos Holden were doing that whole extended 2years extra to make it 5, so i was lucky. I like that idea as ive got the Walky w407, which means Walky have to cover me until 2021
I'm fairly certain walkinshaw won't cover you for the 5 years, they will only do 3 year/100000.

Deposit, paperwork sorted :) LMF SSV RLsecured :) Any must haves?? Whats thoughts on dealer paint protect, tinting and extended warranty??
Welcome to the LMF RL wagon club. Not many members.

Dealer took care of me, and other than the tinting everything was reasonably priced. I suppose it depends on if your dealer is a car guy who cares or a salesman who cares about himself. I ordered:
  • Factory HF20
  • 20mm lower (I wanted the audi rs6 type look, not teenager with an angle grinder look),
  • Blacked badges,
  • Legal tints
  • Black roof, gloss black boot spoiler, and rear boot trim
  • I forgot to get gloss paint on the rear valence thing (it's matt black) so that's being done at next service for $160NZD, that's just not worth my time to pass up or shop around on.
  • I'm getting walky W375 so that's 3 years warranty only, so no point paying for more if you plan to upgrade ya pipes or get a tune... Let me warn you, once you hear W375 vs standard you'll be hooked.
  • I think (opinion alert) the bonnet protector is for grandads, it's a sporty car so spend your money on a 3M clear bra film for the whole front instead.
You got a great car no matter what you do!

Took some pics today for ya. LMF is a weird colour, it looks awesome and then you take a photo and it doesn't come out. But in any case hope you can see the difference. I also included a photo of the car pre-mods.

haha... no probs at all. I went 35% which is the max in NZ for a passenger car. To be honest 35% is good because you can't really see in but at night you still have enough vision out. I wouldn't want any darker myself.

You'll love it when you get yours, just try follow the break in periods in the manual which takes just as much patience as waiting for the car to turn up in the first place.... !!
