1 General Information

There are two levels of Holden By Design body kits available, a level one kit for SV8 Sedans, Executive and Acclaim

Sedans and Wagons and a level two kit for Berlina and Calais vehicles.

The rocker skirts use the same style for both levels, however the Wagon skirt is slightly longer with an extension that is

added to the Sedan skirt at production.

Holden By Design lower body kits are not available for the Ute series.

The front and rear bumper aprons and rocker skirts are painted in the vehicles body colour. The painting procedures are

relatively straight forward, providing the correct steps are followed for (PUR) Polyurethane.

Two rear spoilers are available for the Sedans, the MY 2003 VY S Series spoiler and a new rear lip spoiler.

The HBD Type 2 rear spoiler is the fitted to Commodore S spoiler. For Type 2 spoiler service information, refer to Section

1A4, 3.4 REAR SPOILER ASSEMBLY in the MY2003 VY and V2 Series Service Information.

The HBD Type 1 rear lip spoiler attaches to the rear edge of the sedan rear compartment lid with nuts and threaded

studs in the centre positions and screws in the outer edges. Urethane and double -sided tape is also used in the

reinstallation process.

The Holden By Design rear lip spoiler is painted in the vehicles body colour. The painting procedures are relatively

straight forward, providing the correct steps are followed for (PUR) Polyurethane.

The Holden By Design exhaust extensions fit over the original muffler tail pipe and are secured only by the interference

fit of the pipe to the extension.

Two styles of HBD exhaust extensions are available for the VY Series vehicles. The performance system series rear

muffler has dual round tips while other models receive the conventional design square opening.

Five alloy wheel and tyre packages are available as Holden By Design options for the VY Series vehicles, each has it’s

own unique styling, diameter and width. The standard steel rim is used for the spare.

The Holden By Design (HBD) alloy pedal pads for clutch and brake pedals replace the original slide on pad for the

standard MY 2003 VY and V2 Series vehicles.

The HBD alloy footrest is a direct replacement from the original, for service information refer to Section 1A8, 3.16,

DRIVER FOOTREST in the MY 2003 VY and V2 Series Service Information.

The HBD alloy throttle pedal is serviced by removing the pedal assembly and changing the pedal pad, for service

information refer to Section 6C1-3, 3.14 THROTTLE PEDAL ASSEMBLY in the MY 2003 VY and V2 Series Service

Information.

Where any of the Holden By Design options have been installed, a Holden By Design identification plate is riveted to the

front end panel assembly, decals are fitted to the rear door fixed glass on each sides and as a Holden By Design

emblem is fitted to the rear compartment lid or liftgate. No emblem is fitted to the Utility.

The Holden By Design identification plate is either engraved or stamped with the date, build number and the codes for

the Holden By Design options fitted to the vehicle.
