Twist

Vspot35

will look good on the wheels in the chop....
get varrosteons?? while you wait?
needs ducktail!!!!

MR 3KGT

Ahh man these cars aren't meant to be modded. No shit it looked better with the stock grille and stock wing.

Pure Evil

Looks ok. and ok the what it will look like post = from a video game

Zeinheiger

And who are you to decide what car is meant to modded and what car isn't?

Zeinheiger

You're right about Varrstoens, I do want them... Te37's if I had the money, but in the meantime I bought the current wheels second hand really cheap, not sure about ducktail, I'll probably be putting the spoiler back on

Vspot35

they can be done.... $$$$$

Vspot35

Double post. oops.

Twist

Fucking this !

Zeinheiger

I'm not much a fan of chrome, but that seems to work ok

woodys_world69

yeah.....no...........there just cars that are dumped and dished

you can do that to any car to make it look half decent

intheknow

hope that unit sticker is no longer there, other than that its ok

chaserface

yes! vip aurion ftw!

Zeinheiger

Um... It was poorly done in photoshop, it was never there

woodys_world69

And to the guy whos car this is.....i would save up all my coin for an insane set of dished rims and coilovers

Zeinheiger

Coilovers are coming soon, and for show I'll be investing in a set of Te37 replica's with negative offset and negative camber

unclepaulie

VIP style but with te37's?

it could work. keep us updated. i like it so far

Distinctive.Detail

i like it, not my choice of colour but thats why its yours... you can do whatever you want to it.

i like the mockk-up for your future plans. good luck with it.

Distinctive.Detail

Agreed.

Just because you have a car and your into the "car scene" doesnt mean you have to modify. Save cash for a project insted and drive this the way it should be?

Mongrel

Then why modify any car then? should we all just buy a (insert stupidly common import here) and modify that?
funny thing is, a stock aurion is probably quicker than half of the cars on here, and they can handle quite we'll if done properly.
I say props to OP for doing something different.

wolfman101

I was behind one the other day and got to thinking about the name.
I think it's kinda cute the way that manufacturers who want to draw a certain demographic, but not have to live up to the expectations of the word "sports" find a way around it.
Hence "sportivo", "sportage", etc.

screwball

Fuck off. Do BC a favour and don't post again you spastic.

Commodores, Falcons, etc are all the same. They were released as family cars and then the bogan collective got hold of them.

The Sportivo is the equivalent of an SV6 or something slightly more upmarket. OP has every right to modify this in any way he sees fit and frankly I'd prefer to see 10000 of these before 1 of the fucking shitbox busted ass VN/S/R/T/X/Y/Z or Falcon equivalent fucking chrome taillighted, bad bodykitted, fucking shit exhausted, overly tinted, stupidly larged stereo'd, fuckwit driven, dickhead-mobile that I see all over the roads.

I fuckin' love these and the newer shape Camry and I'm glad someone's done a decent job of modifying one.

OP, keep it coming mate, love your work.

GMN13

doesn't look too bad man, like those wheels, and it is good to see something other then a commodore of falcon or typical import on here for once i must laugh at the guys who bag out this and commos and falcons though, have you seen the amount of skylines out there?

KammdUP

if your on a budget get grids(everyone hates them because they are replicas but they arent a bad wheel) but i think they look better then te37s cause of the extra dish, mate has s15 on te's and other mate has 33 on grids and id go grids unless i was doing track work. This could be pretty cool, get the ducktail, stock spoilers are shit
list
coilovers
rims
ducktail

Zeinheiger

Well, Haters gonna hate everyone, when people say "Why modify an Aurion?" all I will say in return is "Why modify a Commodore/Falcon/Skyline/Lancer/Excel?" This is all personal choice, I've always liked Toyota's, especially the new Camry's/Aurion's, I'm just one for less mainstream cars, If i had a modified Commodore, it wouldn't be unique at all, because it's been done before... Done before way too many times as well

I purposely bought this car because it's not a mainstream car to modify, but it has the characteristics to be. It's a quick car stock, faster than the SV6 and Xr6, there's more car brands out there than Ford/Holden you know and all car makes/models can be modified in anyway seen fit by the owner, I knew that alot of people wouldn't like this, but I couldn't care less, I love this car to bits, it's reliable, comfortable, relatively quick, even great on fuel and I think it has good looks to top it off as well, for the price, it's a great car, too bad if people don't like it... I will modify it as much as I want to... Deal with it

To all the positive feedback, thanks for not being so narrow minded, I appreciate it

GTOX

screwball

Zeinheiger

Um, yeah, you're retarded, I wasn't having a cry, I was just explaining why I chose an Aurion over a typical Commodore and such

Ryan86

Even though I drive a Commodore I think it's good you have gone for something a bit different. I've always liked these to be honest.

If I had one though I would convert it to RWD, and put in a Lexus V8.

Anyway keep it up mate. It's your car. Do whatever you like to it.

Mongrel

Don't know about your logic there champ.....why would you remove the 2gr and put something heavier, that makes less power in it's place?

Ryan86

If we're still talking about the 5.0L in the IS-F? I've always like the Toyota/Lexus V8s for whatever reason. Not really sure why.

Zeinheiger

^ Dunno if you guys realise how much that would cost to convert it to RWD, let alone engine swap it (Wouldn't understand why, the 2grfe does the job quite nicely with 200kw)... I'd get a Lexus if I wanted a RWD... Oh and if I could afford one too
