very nice car mate, the only thing that puts me off is the white around the inside edge of the rim/tyre but apart from that, looks sweet as

I think the white wall on the vk calais polished rims looks mint, love it.

thanks guys, just need to get some more recent pics of it, need to give the paint abit of a cut back as its looking abit scummy atm. the polished calais rims are more of a temporary thing, the tyres i put on where free from a mate with the white walls already on, so i didn't mind lol.
planning to change to some 19" VE SSV rims as iv seen them on a couple vl calais and like the look of em n wouldn't mind lowering the rear abit more.
