My new SSV ute

[ziggycv8z]

With the Holden specials, I couldn't help myself and went out and bought a new Ute. This will be the wife's car.

Car: 2008 SSV Ute
Engine: 6 litre V8
Gearbox: 6 speed auto
Colour: Atomic green metallic
Interior: Black leather

Future mods: tinting, exhaust, lowering, wheels, tune, hard cover, custom grille and a Ziggy OTR

We will be picking up the car early next week in time to have some fun before returning to work!

Here are some pics!

Cheers
Nick

I paid $39,400 drive away. :yahoo:

$39k, seems like you got a good deal. However I think they have bought the price down also. Either way, great car man! :yep:

Nice pickup for 39k... :bravo:

Even the colour is growing on me a little....but not enough to get one. :stick: :hide:

Have had the ute for about 10 days now and the mods are well on the way.

Windows tinted
Lowered 30mm front and 50mm rear.
X-Force 2 1/2" catback
Zcai OTR
Mafless edit

Very happy with the result considering it's an auto and only 400km.

Very nice!! Sounds the biz too :D

Bit of an update.
My powdercoater has got his hands on some special powder that make it look similar to chrome, so we did an otr to see how it looked.
Not as good as polished or chrome but looks good for a powdercoat and about a 1/4 of the price.
I also now have the rims that are going to the painters next week.
All these were bought second hand and there is a little bit of variation in the colour. Still not sure on how dark I'll go.
Here are some pics.

Looking sweet nick, those rims will finish it off nicely.

[DaveHAT]

The grille looks spot on Nick and the rims will finish it very nicely.

Well thought out list of mods. :bravo:
