    Beautiful car man, looks like mine! Wheels look similiar too. Get some closer pics if you can. Goodluck with it as a project.

    Btw, your front grille looks a bit damaged. I've got a kit going on mine soon and wont need the original grille, same colour of course.

    cheers guys
    i got the pic on my camera fone and borrowed the cable off of my mate who is now a couple of hours away.
    i dont know much about car mechanics (still love cars though ) but im gonna gear it more towards the 1/4 mile rather than a burnout car.
    Since i aint got no money or research any ideas are up in the air atm

    Actually, I thought it was red like VK_308's VK SL.

    But, now that I look at it, I'm not so sure. And I've never seen a Calais in that red. (or that I know of anyway)
