Sounds fat as.

[CMYBT1]

thanks mate

[LS1 powered]

Sounds great,, I like your rims,, although I quite like the black stockies, makes it more of a sleeper.

[Goon]

sic sound dude!

[VLDavo]

yay finally more injected v8 vls

looks good dude.

[STEALTHY™]

Love everything about it, except the gauges. Ruins the whole look of the car when you have perfectly good gauges in your Dash!

[VL_5SPEED]

Yehhhh I dunno why people put in aftermarket gauges in cars when the car already has them built in. Only gauge I have is a boost gauge.

[AdamOne]

nice photoshop work its looks real good but. the rims that are on it suit it well, not too over the top, would go nice with sigs but

[tanner892]

yeah hot car, i would ditch the gauges too, such a mean lookin machine those vl's, nice man

[STEALTHY™]

Rather than ditch the gauges, get a full autometer dash setup, replacing the factory one. Thats the only time gauges are acceptable.

If you have a look at his dash you will clearly see why the oil pressure gauge and tacho are needed. (Although I completely agree about them ruining the look of the car)

[STEALTHY™]

A calais or berlina dash is a straight swap into it. Probably half the cost of that gay tacho aswell

[DVOLVO]

Love everything about it, except the gauges. Ruins the whole look of the car when you have perfectly good gauges in your Dash!

Ditto... Why Does everyone add then when it looks better clean with the original Gauges..

[nasty1]

well he doesnt have a re gauge lol so hence the reason he has the tacho

[TUF UTE]

looks really tough, love the vn interior in it

[CMYBT1]

car has now had a full respray no rust at all in the car and now is sitting on 19" vy sigs

[walesy]
