    I guarantee that the 20 cent size rust is way bigger than that under the rubber.

    Calais front end, VK berlina tail lights or calais tail lights depending on whether the red strips look good with the colour. Nice set of wheels the list goes on, in the end its your car and you make it look the way you want it.

    I'd buy it mate, imo to get it looking okay, calais tailights and garnish, you should pay anywehre from 100 to 150. and a calais front end. they start from 400 and go to 900, lower it so it sits nice and even, and some decent 18/19's

    If you want to go 18/19's, look at getting VY SS rims, I have them on mine (17's though) and they're painted black, they look really good, i'll grab a pic, hold on:



    Here's them the normal colour on a VL:



    and here's them on my VL painted Satin Black (Sorry, my iPhone is retarded when the sun is front-on):
