Nice - like the wheels - sets it off.

Any idea on price to fit the interior panels in the following link ?

I found the grille on the SRi to be tacky with its over-sized Holden badge and crazy amount of chrome, especially on my Phantom Black Cruze; so I bought a new grille a few months ago. I finally got around to fitting it yesterday:

That looks good on a dark car, though I am happy with the standard one on my silver car as it doesn't stand out as much.

I agree. If I had a pale colour I would have left it. But in orange, red and especially black a dark design works better.
Some of the dealers over here even offer to simply paint the factory grille black. I thought that it looked a bit nasty though and found this grille for half price so I jumped on it.

It looks a bit like a Chevy now. Big chunky criss-cross and all.

I agree with Aussie - on our silver cars it wouldn't look good, but on the right colour (as here) it works a treat!

Please don't mind a nosey American here, but what in the world does the rim size have to do with insurance??

The insurance companies are a bit reluctant to cover non standard cars, but you can come to an agreement with them if the wheels are within reasonable dimensions of the original and are listed on the policy. For example my previous Commodore had wheels that were 8 X 17 in diameter where the standard ones were 16 X 7. I also had Pedders suspension and an extractor exhaust system as well as duel fuel, all noted on the policy even including the tinted windows. As long as you let them know they are reasonable. A good driving record also helps. The extras are also covered by the policy.

Looks great, Where sis you get it? I just ordered an SRI-V in Regal Peacock and I reckon it would suit it.

My standard fogs are white and do a good job of filling in the gap under low beam and lighting up the sides. I still have standard globes which are good enough but when one blows I will replace with +190 as these are great with minimum cost.

You need to be careful with that though, under Aus Road rules you can only legally use your fog/driving lights in adverse conditions. Driving around generally with them on (Night or Day) can lead to a fine. I don't know what plod is like in Syd but down here in the capitol they are cracking down it. I know 3 people fined for it in the last 6 months. Most people just drive around with them always on because it looks cool. They don't do anything during the day and do very little at night. Just get decent Headlight globes and ignore your fogs.

The +190 are for the headlights only, I have them on my other car and they really make a big difference but only use the same power as standard globes.

Hey,

Here's the link:
https://www.wpstore.com.au/product_...look//osCsid/c2e8b1a25c9409453c43d4c9a294519d
They still have the discount (about 55% off). Shipping doesn't cost much.

Just bear in mind that to fit it you have to take your entire front bumper off to get the old grille out and the new grille in.
