It looks good mate, do you have any plans for it?

[calais06]

Thanks

Im getting a lip spoiler this Friday, and looking at 20" advanti cosmo rims (machined with black lip) just need to shop them on to see if they look decent

[TinSnips]

Tidy looking Calais mate. I like the cosmo rims - they'll look sexy. Just make sure you lower it appropriately as well, otherwise it will look dicky with 20s.

Congratulations on the purchase.

[calais06]

Thanks

Yeah i think it will too.
Im going to take a side on pic and photoshop the rims on, wanna make sure it matches the blue (dont see many in blue so hard to know if it will look good).

Gunna get the rims once the bridgestones wear down on the rear, they are around 65% atm, no idea how long they will last though.

Then if it looks dicky with the 20's i might have to lower it a touch, as it is it still scrapes going up my driveway/servos even going at an angle

Looks great man!!! You should bring it on the cruise to Broke on the 23rd

[calais06]

Thanks guys, just replied on the Broke cruise thread, will do my best to come!

Yeah was thinking that.. The chrome theme looks sick. Glad I got the chrome lip on the rims rather than black though. Got a different aerial on the back now, got a 'shark fin' style one. Ill get some pics probs next weekend, only time ill be with the car when its light lol.

[HSV5L]

Yeah would suit very well there cheap too i wish they sold them for vn cant wait to see the pics
