yeh i had a nice twin tip muffler at one stage, it was on my cordia turbo.... but have no idea where i put it, i think i left it in the back seat of the cordia when i sold it after i crashed it. oh wells, nice muffler tips are only a couple hundred aye...

Gettin new rims this arvo, but i honestly dont think they suit a VP.. so if they dont ill put them up for sale in the trade section for a lil less than i bought them for, i think they would suit a VS VR more so than VP calais.. Although u need 20 posts which i rekon i have even tho it says i have only 2... which is strange.... but anyway done some measurements and looks like the rims would fit snugly under the guards... and i will pst some pics and you guys can tell me what u think

Bradley :thumbsup:

Theres different sections where the posts count. Technical threads as such. My ride posts don't count.


Got a pic of the wheels.

How much gap up got between the inside of the rear wheel n the body.

I want to get sum rims for mien, but every wheel ive tried hasnt fitted without spacers, only on the rear, they would just scrub on bumps camber wouldnt have helped either.

What offset do those rims have...43
