Got pics? As another FoxFire owner I'd be interested to see a 175 model...

Yes! Great to have another Aussie on here! I'm working on bringing over a 1976 Falcon Coupe right now so I need as many mates down under as I can find!

Welcome, and yes, post pics!

Wow,
Your Foxfire looks quite a bit brighter than the USD versions.



As a fan of British vehicles, I would love to see someone take the RHD wing mirror on the left fender and reverse engineer one for LHD/right fender. I think that would be to mod of the decade and would make enthusiasts' VX's standout.

Any overseas members willing to loan a wing mirror? Anyone here smarter than me with more capabilities than I to produce a 'mirror' image of the RHD wing mirror for LHD use? I got all the ideas and none of the capabilities, but I can dream.

Welcome, Hetzer, and don't be a stranger, Bren.

I don't actually think that is technically a "Foxfire". Being a JDM model, I think there is another color name for this as it is more of a candy apple red than the deep maroon of the US market Foxfires. Somewhere out there is a JDM brochure with the colors in it.

I have the color palette book and it looks the color one down from the upper right corner. Now if only I could read Japanese...

Not keen on the mirror, but I'd love to have the JDM steering wheel...

Even better would be to have this: 2009 VehiCROSS

Speaking of fender mods, depending on how good I get with body work this summer, I been thinking about patching the hole where the side markers go so I can get rid of the side markers entirely.

It sounds like you actually have one of the very rare 175 limited edition VXs. There’s a Japanese web site that would be very interested in having you register your baby. Check out this link.

hi all, that photo was taken with my 2 mega pixel phone camera, and the car is covered in a fine film of dust. so not sure if its changing the color of the red.

Thinking on it i only assumed it was the firefox red. perhaps if i listed the vin number and the paint part number we could work out what colour i have

Re the fender mirror, i hate the bloody thing, if i had the time i would remove it :grinr: i have lost count of how many people have come up and say something along the lines of "that's a silly place for a snorkle" but its great for seeing rocks or the curb line.

Kodiak, thank you for that web link, i will indeed have a look, perhaps if its considered a rare vx i may have to stop playing in the bush with the beast

NFPGASMASK, if there is anything i can do let me know, there is a Holden wrecker down the road. i would be happy to hunt parts down.

i will post more pics to my ablum today, sorry but i am having troubles linking photos. i will strive to work that out by the end of the day

Cheers
