    why u ask,
    2 b differant

    improude i own a berlina not a calais because my windows go up and down with ease and i have all the features a calais has (bsides rear headrests [meh] ) so wats the differance? nothing, y lie bout owning a calais when its really a SL or a berlina

    dude and sanding stuff fine isnt as easy as u think plus Berlina has more letters and is going 2 take 4 eva 2 get them all the right size and shape, and my pations would have gone probherly by the letter i

    i wasnt having a go at ya dude. What i meant wasnt refering to whether to have calais or berlina, i meant something totally different. I have no ideas, im not creative at all. but nothing relating to a commodore. 'STARWARS'????

    Definately, the best mods are the ones you take the time and effort and create/customise yourself rather than just buying calais/berlina bits and whacking them in.. go for it!

    Most of the GT Falcons in the world are not GT's :/, My Lexcen is not really a Toyota either but you can be sure I'm going to exploit the Toyota theme, with TRD stickers behind the front wheel arch and a black ricer bonnet once I get the turbo installed

    Talking to me mate yesterday...when he got his vl he wanted to go silver with his blue/purple. Just went through and did some bodgy sh*t with his car and spraypainted that center garnish...looked a bit out of place but the paint went all sh*t and he decided to get another1...went to the wreckers...$20

    just keep looking on ebay you'll find one, just remember not to get into a bidding war just wait till the last minute. Here is mine, its a vk belina garnish with a vx commodore badge and berlina tailights, my cars not a berlina but it has so many berlina parts that it might as well be. Its got berlina tailights, door trims, had vh sl/e seats in it, tacho dash, glovebox mirrorLOL.

    20 bucks is cheap. But they do go for around 50 dollars in alright condition. Just not the best.

    Go BLNA if thats what you want, I wouldn't personalise it too much.

    I'm doing the same, sort of, except I'm not getting words I'm just going all lines.
