I wonder if they'll ever do an SS or SLR Hubcap version... I wonder how it would look... I reckon it would look ace on an SS Hatch, with all the stripes and stuff!

Each to their own; the engine bay is nothing that great and I love the wheels, but I've seen them look 10x as good on other Monaros (a yellow one from memory, with bright red walls etc). No doubt it would be a great car and the bodywork looks very tidy, but the photos are pretty shit and yeah I'm just not digging it hugely

Hav'nt seen the dragways, they are in 17's yes? I am waiting for a set of 17's in GTS style from them. Long wait so far. I would prefer them on this HK also ...

Who cares how the engine bay looks heath! Depending on other work done to that motor.. It would be getting up close to 400rwkw!
