I had to Lol at this comment...
"...at least now this BMW M5 is unique and it's the only competitor to the Holden that is also down under (which btw, is coming out as a Pontiac here in the states)." Ignorant idiots... :P Looks nice though, the gloss black and average pictures make it had to pick out the detail in the body mods though...

Damn that looks good. It's such a neat and tidy conversion. If that came out of the Bavarian Motor Works factory it certainly wouldn't look like they did a half arsed job.

All it needs is a bullbar, spotties, 76 aerials, truck mudflaps and a roll bar.

Is it just me or does the rear tail light treatment look like an FG ute?
Awesome conversion, although I can't help but think "VS Commodore ute" with the way the C pillar is set up.

That last image on the OP's link certainly redefines a "strut brace". It's massive!
Btw, Peuty, utes don't have C-Pillars. Only A's and B's (despite how the rear "quarter-glass" is configured). I definately do agree with you about the VS Maloo plastic extension on said pillar though. Also, I'm glad there's no spoiler!
