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

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.
