Holden Camarodore

[iliov]

A new custom conversion kit allows Commodore owners to Camaro-ise their car.

Love it or hate it, the modern day interpretation of the classic Chevrolet Camaro is a head-turner – and it’s a face Aussies could be seeing a lot more of.

Victorian engineer Luke Bromidge has developed a new US-flavoured conversion kit for Australia’s best sellingcar, the Holden Commodore.

The 24-year-old spent three months developing the Chevrolet Camaro-inspired front-end, which he has now fitted to his own car, a Holden SS Ute.

The kit uses genuine General Motors parts, as the Camaro is based on the same underpinnings as Holden’s locally built Commodore range.

[Nikk O'lass]

I like it.

[iliov]

lol are you two serious?

[Nikk O'lass]

Anything is an improvent on the VE front...

[92EBFAIRMONT]

I LOVE the camaro as a camaro, we even hired one in the U.S. but it looks retarded on a VE ute...

[EFFalcon]

i love the new camaro, but it looks weird on the ute.

[Commando]

I'm picturing a Sportwagon with that front looking awesome.

It's funny that 30 years later this is happening again, back then it was Kingswoods with Trans-Am fronts on them.

Camaro front end is a thousand times better than the GTO front lol, thats just pox.

[misk]

i like the pontiac front end on wagons and utes, looks horn.
i think the comaro front end pokes out a bit too far for the ute, but might look ok on the wagon, sedan might be a bit gay though.

would be interesting to see it combined with a HSV style kit and a better paint job

[089JAY]

Serious Nikk... GTO Fronts look better with the LED Bars under the headlights though

I actually saw that ute last weekend in lilydale. Looked fucken pox.
You kuntz are all OD'ing if you that front looks better than a VE.

[MAD]

I would own a new Camaro in a heart beat if I had the $$ for it.

This one needs more billet grill though...


I agree with hating the Ponitac front end. I just can get used to it.

[EFFalcon]

I love how the article makes out is was only possible because of a global platform, yet the bloke spent months making it fit?

I'd prefer the AU Ute with the GT500 Front thats on AFF.
even if its an AU.

[EFFalcon]

Well i'm new to this great site and after having a look at some of the fantastic projects on here i thought i would post a few piccs of my own project. i have an old AU v8 ute that i wanted to make look a little different and stand out from the rest, and having looked at all the bodykits on the market was a little dissapointed to find nothing to my taste so thought i would make my own. so heres a few piccs of my old ute



this is the ute as i got it a while back.



not a real nice fit ahhaha oh well













so thats it so far as i have had a new house built and a decent shed to work in as i was a little restricted in the garage on the side of the house lol.

this is the intended look for the front



i am almost there now and have all the front off at the moment as i am moulding it and only ever intended to use the gaurds as plugs so i can reproduce this front end in fibreglass. i'm a bit away from finishing it but it will be a bolt on kit so it should be any easy fit up when i have done lol. and i then have the option of selling a few to regain a few dollas as ther may be a few otheres out there wanting something a little different to what is out there at the moment :bounce

[SnyperEB]

sEXUAL jOHN!!

[Josh L]

John, it's gonna be horn when finished!

[pHaT`eL]

On both of them, the only thing that will wreck the look is the mismatched flares on the rear.

Id love a VE wagon with the Pontiac front though, tough!

[EFFalcon]

The guy with the AU ute has plans to match the flares on the rear... or do something along those lines.

[Bipolar]

Trying to picture it. Pretty sure it'll look shithot with the rears flared. Guess it'll just look like an AU with flared arches from the rear.

[justa6]

that mustang is hottest thing ever built. you are all fag's if you don't agree. i think the standard ss or gts front look's way better then the other two..

[LTDHO]

This mod just makes Holden owners more pathetic
(excluding boosted members)

[Kaddis]

I seen the VE cruising through Ringwood on Sunday, i had to look twice. It doesnt look too bad.

[Jake]

I'd rather a VE SS front over the camaro front or that red one (pontiac front?)... not really a fan at all


That mustang though... that would look farken sikk!

[LOW_XR]

i love the new camaros but putting the front on a commo is as bad as a chev badge. from the front people will be like "look! a new camaro!!" then "oh, its just a ve"

i think if i had a ss , id sooner put a pontiac front on it than a camaro front.

[Rollin]

Not as nice as this



but still nice...

Not sure if serious

Seriously on drugs I think.

Pontiac front looks VOMITOUS. Even worse than stock VE, it's an abortion!

Camaro front looks better than stock VE but still nowhere near as good as a proper Camaro.

At least it's better than the plastic pig bodykits walkinshaw sell :/

[metasaiah]

If you need a whole front-end graft to make it look good, you've bought the wrong car...

[burnt turtle]

i love the new camaros but putting the front on a commo is as bad as a chev badge. from the front people will be like "look! a new camaro!!" then "oh, its just a ve"

this goes for the au ute though, people will say oh a new mustang.......nope just an au ute!!
and is like putting FPV badges on a eb gli....

Fair point. But the difference between the two are the AU is a one off. The camaro front is a Kit so anyone can buy it, There's alot of custom work on the AU where as the VE is unbolt/bolt on.

[EFFalcon]

The guy whos doing the Mustang front is planning on making it a kit.
And he's not the only one doing it.
