Chaos THEORY

THE VK Blue Meanie must be one of the most-repeated Commodore tributes out there, so how do you make yours stand out from the crowd? It’s safe to say Anthony Safar has pulled it off with this VK; it looks good and makes a hell of a splash in the process.

“I wanted it to be better than my last VK, CUH8N: a gunmetal-grey car with an LSA that was a big deal at the time,” Anthony explains. To go one step further with this VK was back in 2017. If that wasn’t enough, Anthony had just nine weeks to get it ready for an unveiling at Summernats 35. “We didn’t have much time, and then to make it worse the first paint job was stuffed by another mob,” Anthony says. “We had to get 2SUS Custom Resprays to fix it, and it got repainted only a week before Summernats.”
