Saw this car in Penrith passing me about two months ago. Now its up for sale

Selling cost is quite expensive for an 08 model with white paint.

What you guys recon on the bonnet??

When i look at it, i see a Holden and turn my back on it.

haha i found this car on carsales a little while ago and saved a picture of its bonnet, it's an interesting look for the Aurion might look half ok on some colours. BUT looking at the pictures the scoops arent actually there like the VZ monaro are they? they look just painted black to give the illusion of scoops? if so then it's just tacky

its different which is good, and the owner actually was brave enough to cut his bonnet (that is..if he actually did a proper scoop)

Personally i wouldn't do it

i dunno...i was thinking like an evo 6 or 8 bonnet scoop would look hotter at least

I hate it. Each to their own though.

I personally hate it because I don't think it flows properly with the design of the car.

Edit: Funny how he mentions "biggest rims that can be fitted" for his 19 inch wheels. Bit over the top on the price as well just because he says it's the "Best looking ZR6 on the road".

Personally, i don't like it, nor i think it looks good.

I have to agree with DJK.

The bonnet wheel combination makes it a Holden Wannable, on a Toyota.

And needless to say, the asking price is too much.

"Best looking ZR6 on the road".... not for me. :D

But these are just my personal opinion though.

That is disgusting. The scoop doesn't follow the essence of the cars lines.

If anything, the addition of the bonnet and the **** rims would greatly lower the value of the car. If the person is stupid enough to put on the scoop and those ugly wheels then there is no telling what other stupid decisions he has made with the car that the pictures don't tell.

Easy w/ the comments people.. :lol:

Some people do like it. Obviously, the majority of us here don't like it.

Although it's good to be different.. Now we know how it looks like in real life, without having to photoshop them. :lol:

Although the 'The best ZR6' line is kinda over-exaggerated. Obviously he doesn't know about TOCAU and the people inside. ;)

The purpose of the thread was to get opinions. It just happens to be that most of us aren't liking it. Much like you have the opinion of thinking that we are a bit harsh on the comments :lol:

i dont think he even knew the internet existed till he wanted to sell the ZR6... or maybe still believing the Earth is the centre of the universe... :P

It could be sooo much better if the edges matched the Aurion bonnet lines and if the shape flowed from the front of the car.

As it is, it looks just like it is...something just stuck on, that belongs somewhere else.

And the wheels do nuthin' for me.

Of course he didn't! With a scoop like that, he's obviously a Conformadore fan at heart, and therefore probably a meathead without an ounce of brain.

And Armstrong, if you look closely at the front on picture, he hasn't cut his bonnet. Looking past the black bits, you can actually see the white bonnet in there.

oh no, i need to wash my eyes... who on earth with the right mind would do that to thier car.. maybe he was bit drunk and went into a toyota dealer rather then the holden dealer next door..

that would perfectly explain the bonnet and rims...

      2007 - floor mats

      Hi Ed, Hmm that's a tough one mate ..short of going to Toyota to get genuine and no I doubt they would laugh at you as it's a sale and money is tight right now. I am not sure if you are on Facebook or not but I have seen an advert on there for what looks like superb floor mat sets that do seem excellent quality and a wide range but like most things now they are not cheapish. My best advice is source some good quality ones and search online for someone who offers embroidery as some do tradie shirts and logos on clothing it may be worth a phone call to those sort of places as I know a local one to me does all sorts of work on many things related to embroidery or an alternative choice is the online sites like Temu... EBay etc Let us know how you get on mate good luck. KAA

      2001 Toyota Camry wagon passenger side locks not working

      Gday, I've got a 2001 Camry wagon which has been having locking issues for a while now, just started occurring out of the blue. There is no fob so we manually unlock and lock from the driver side door, however the rear and front passenger doors consistently have issues. Either when we unlock one or both doors don't unlock and must be unlocked from inside the car, or when we lock it one or both don't lock and the car beeps. To fix that, we open the door, lock it from the inside, the lift up the handle and close the door before releasing the handle. That fixes the locking issue. When testing the locks from inside the car, I can see that they partially lock and unlock, so I'm wondering if they need to be replaced entirely or if there's some other way to fix it. Cheers

      2002 Hilux Engine Replacement

      I have a 2002 Hilux that is meant to have a 5le engine but i think it was replaced with a new engine with a turbo before i bought it. Its a different engine compared to what is in the manual - eg the alternator is at the bottom not the top as per the manual. The engine is seized - tried roll starting downhill and wheels just locked up. I cant find what the engine is. Any ideas on where I would find it? Also 5LE engines are hard to find - any ideas on what else i could put in? Does a 1KZ fit?

      Engine conversion

      I have a 2002 Hilux that is meant to have a 5le engine but i think it was upgraded to a turbo version before i bought it. Its a different engine compared to what is in the manual - eg the alternator is at the bottom not the top as per the manual. The engine is seized - tried roll starting downhill and wheels just locked up. I cant find what the engine is. Any ideas on where I would find it?

      Boot Dimensions?

      Hi All, Greetings from the UK. I wondered if any kind folk could help me out. I am trying to get hold of some measurements for the boot/trunk of later model Fortuners. Does any know the height, min width (between the stowed 3rd seats) and the min depth from the 2nd row seat backs to the tailgate? Trying to work out if I can get all my luggage on board before I travel. Hope someone can help. Cheers KP
