My 2006 VE Calais - P Plates

[Smiddy_Calais]

Just thought i'd show my pride and joy. Some dont like this colour, but when its clean i love it.
Only down side is its hard to change much because neither black or chrome mix well with it.

If anyone has any more suggestions for mod's for it go ahead, though keep in mind im on my P plates so no engine mods.

(Spare wheel from dad's Grange is the black clubsport rim, so put it on and this is how it looked - as a test)

paint the wheels black and then lower it

Any suggestions for what springs/shocks to use then?
Also the wheels are 9.5" on the rear so do the guards need to be rolled?
At the moment I need to fix my speakers though, just need to find what is best for it

Dont paint the wheels black mate it looks cheap and everyone is doing it, thats just my opinion dont mean to offend anyone. Check out my wagon in relation to your springs question, thats on kings super lows, nice and practical and comfortable too. i like the look of the clubby wheels with the colour of the car.

Yeah that's about as low as I'd want to go. Looks nice!
Did u change the shocks?
And would I need guards rolled seeing as I have thick rear wheels?

 

[simple wagon]

I kept the factory shocks and struts, you can change them if you want, but its not a must. and nah your wheels will be fine with your guards, plenty of room under there.

Beautiful, just got a nice $1200 bonus from work so might grab some springs.
Thanks.

Nice wish i got one of those ot would help pay for my OTR CAI.

A good set of springs and shocks will go well with it. The factory Holden shocks are terrible people will say they're ok but when the you fit good shocks it makes a world of difference .colour looks good have a look at my car if your after some mods that will suit the colour.
Cheers luke

Any suggestions for shocks then?
Also i already have FE2 suspension, so how much will Super lows drop it?
