haha cheers guys - you'll have to throw up a pic of your background so I can have a look. We just had our SC Cruise 4 Charity event so I should have some more pics fairly soon.

On saying that, its probably the alst event the car will see until its back with its new engine and gearbox etc - and if $$$$ permit interior as well

So i'll keep yas posted

Thanks for the compliments

Cheers for the compliments guys - I've just taken it back from the panel shop with a bit more work done including deleting the aerial, shaving passenger door lock, colour coded door handles and flat fuel filler flap as well. They also resprayed the whole front end, I had the factory headlights reconditioned and a new front LE lip fitted (old one wasnt the greatest).

Interior is stock Calais SII at the moment, will be going full custom in the next 12-24 months



New random pics from our C4C5 event

I would consider buying your complete interior when you go custom if its at the right price.
