One year on

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

Hey, thanks mate! As for parts, maybe you could ring your local wrecker and see if they have any XA/XB/XC coupes that have decent A-pillars that can be cut out. I will also need some rectangle XC head lights eventually, but right now, I am really on the hunt for some cut out A pillars from a coupe that is rust free up top. Of course, I will cover all costs and shipping! Just PM me if you can locate anything!

Thanks again,

Bart
