So are they altenza lights that have been tinted or painted ?

Or are they altenza lights that are black looking ??

They look like they wouldn’t let any light through at all

p.s carnt wait till cava sees this

I just know a few people who have been fined for black painted and black covers over there lights

It’s ok

I’m only joking, cava nailed me for ages when I had altenza tail lights, took me a good year till I come around but eventually I put a factory set back in and now I will admit factory is better

Altenza front lights and clear side indicators are good but the rears do look tacky in my oppion

[hsv865Participant St ClairVS Senator View build HERE Member since: March 2, 2015 Posts: 91]

no dramas here bloke,i asked for opions,everyones aloud one,they won’t affect mine.These haven’t got the round corvette look lights(which I’m not a fan of).I wanted clear like the side lights.My mates are giving me heaps over them(who cares)see when it goes back together,factory looking car besides wheels(which I’m changing again)had car for nearly 20 yrs,this is second rebuild(bigger than 1st)or tidy up really, so change a few things here & there ,keep me interested .cheers for looking

ps. manta that thing of yours reads like a weapon,nice.

[vs manta 218Participant Vs hsv manta View build HERE Member since: March 2, 2015 Posts: 796]

Yeah each has there own oppion

Rear lights are nearly the easiest part to change on a vr-vs anyway so doesn’t matter what you use

The car over all is looking good

Yeah myns a little mental, good fun though lol

This a ban free site Totally agree with to each their own, how bloody boring if we all did the same thing. I do remember the grief Cav gave Pete about his rear lights, was funny to follow

Have I missed the specs on this, what running gear has it got, or is it still in the build?

[vs manta 218Participant Vs hsv manta View build HERE Member since: March 2, 2015 Posts: 796]

If I ever move to Melbourne and see cavas car Im Goin to fit them lights to it while he isn’t looking bahahaha

I was looking at buying that VT awhile ago just for the engine too, but I swear that the ad said 370 (3.625 stroke & 4.03 bore). Anyway I started buying parts to build my own which hopefully should be ready to build later this year.

That’s a pedders cradle mount is it ??

Looks fine

I actually have a piece that when that is pressed Into the cradle It goes on top that is about 10mm thick to help really bind it up tight

Doesnt that press Into the cradle from top ??
