In the pic above, there's no bulging number plate mount on the front bar. Has this been modified, or is there a version like this thats OEM ? I like the look. :)

Did the 83 US spec bumper with the small JA lights have a number plate holder? (The blue pic is in the US I reckon)

Back to the colour issue - Steve, check out the Kia range of cars and colours - they have some really nice metallics that I reckon would look cool on a widebody. There's a really nice pale green (dont go spew just yet) that would show off the lines and bulges really well.

I just got a Calais V with an interesting colour - Cobra
It is a bit rare and is not on the Holden site as far as I can see - but was in he Calais brochure.....green/yellow/bronze sort of.
If you are interested I will do a pic or 2

I reckon it would look great on a Widey
