Jasons 2003 VY executive 'By Design'

[danieLOL]

theres not much to dislike about it mate, ss headlights would make it look better - i dont like that grill you said ur getting, or the white screen on the radio - i would have done it blue but thats ur choice i suppose

other than that ... not much to dislike (Y)

thanks mate, i wanted to break up the colours instead of all blue, white would be the best choice but your right it is a tad out of place,

ss headlights are on the table

with the grille i dont want to get one that everyone has and for an executive there isnt much choice apart from modding your own one (dont trust myself haha)

i wanna keep it original as possible so would get the chrome aftermarket ones on ebay, any other ideas?

thanks mate

cheers

found some nice wheels i think will ook good/unique on my car
i thnk they are VE calais V's? correct me if im wrong, do you guys reckon they will look good? i think they only come in 18"s but thats ok cause i dont want it too big (makes it look lower when they are smaller) and cheaper tyres

very interested in what you guys think, buckled one of my wheels so need new rims asap, senators look a bit tacky i think (i did love them haha) and cbf buying anouther VY SS because ill get some new ones in future.

here is a pic of rims on VE and also an ebay item of the rims

found a good seller on ebay seeling VE wheels,
can someone confirm that you can fit them? aparently it costs about 27$ and they can mod them to fit,

thinking VE Caprice rather than VE calais V's, what do you guys think

can get tad scratched rims for 660$ then tyres for 520$ all up making it under 1200$

[danieLOL]

i like the 2nd ones better, i just bought ssv's off the same guy about an hour ago haha hes a good bloke

 

[esca_ByDesign]

serious? did you get the ajusted or whatever for a VY? how much you may extra? i hope it doesnt **** em up.

thats good to hear he is a good bloke, im leaning towards caprices as calais' look stockish, but still good, im still unsure haha

 

[danieLOL]

yeah they're machined to fit vy but they werent the brand new ones i paid 198ea, he said brand new are 330 ea but since these are 'damaged' which means the tiniest little marks on them lol so i didnt care and you can barely notice them i think saving 130 a wheel was a steal for 19s

 

[esca_ByDesign]

**** yeah might go have a look what he has tomorow, dont have the money yet but need to organise stuff, did he supply tyres too? he's got the "slightly damaged" set for 660$
