you spending way to much time worrying about this s***..

there are wars going on in the world...

as chopped as exis on a friday night

you can tell by the pixels and iv seen a few in my time

i think they're just really s*** photos taken with a really s*** camera, not chopped

if you were going to photoshop a car you'd do something to make it look better

i agree it doesn't look shopped just s***ty camera, if ya look at the wheels, in the first pic, one side is bigger then the other cause the car is turning, look at both wheels, also, the photo when the car is in the drive way and its all shiny, you can just make out the reflection of the flower in the front rim. and pretty much matches up to where it should be.

That isn't photo shopped, that is what they do to VL Commodores

Not photoshopped. The artifacts you see are normal in digital photographs at that resolution, and especially with jpeg compression on it. The supposed tell-tale brush marks are just marks on the car which have the same out of focus quality as the rest of the photo.

I have to ask, who gives a f***?

Damn it Parabol, I wanted to post that :(

I certainly don't see what evidence you're referring to...

More to the point..
Faggety Airfilter element [That looks like it's dirty as all f*** and needs replacing] out the bonnet AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

L2get bug/bird catcher with tunnel ram or FOAD.

Besides that, I assume it's a 6cyl, cause the offset looks wrong for that element. If it were an 8, needs to be slightly more center/towards front of car.. though that could just be perspective.

Eitherway, looks like a trashy wannabe VL-T. (Illegal chrome gauge holders on the bonnet is what says so).
No chrome allowed on that year of car (such as the gauges or bumpers).

RB20

what

even if it was a 6, the filter would have to be further away from the centre than it is now

plus the BC thread says it has a 308

yeah, I was about to edit it, but internet here chucked a spaz, it looks too centred to be a inline.

No chrome allowed on that year of car (such as the gauges or bumpers).

what about the window surrounds?

what about lpg ?

true

Haha Parabol - thats the first thing I thought of.

what about the window surrounds?

Go sniff more lpg fumes.

Anything post XXXX years (think it's like 76 or something. you cannot ADD anything chrome to the exterior.

for example, it would be illegal to stick chrome bumpers on that VL.
However 1970's vehicle that came out with factory Chrome Bumpers is fine/can have chrome on the outside, so technically can get away with chrome gauge holders.

oh i get ya
what happens if say for example he wants to chrome dip his rear garnish (the plastic between the taillights), is that legal?

i wouldnt mind a VL

there are more pics on the thread now.

hah and eighty-eight has edited all his posts

what happens if say for example he wants to chrome dip his rear garnish (the plastic between the taillights), is that legal?

If it wasn't factory in the VL.
It's illegal.

It is, in a sense good.
It's fashion police, but I believe it's probably because chrome (when its new/in good polish/condition) is reflective as a motherf***er, catch the wrong angle on a sunny day and it's the same as staring directly at the sun (or using a mirror to reflect the sun etc.), it's blinding to motorists/a distraction.

Who cares that its real...more worrying is that this bogan has a wife and may procreate... http://image-cache.boostcruising.com/database/genthumbs/803/1200/readersrides/files/post-36838-11955230581349520951.jpg

I like his floaty pool beaty sticks in the back window.

plus chrome is gay

For the rez of those pictures that's some s*** quality photo right there. l2focus
