    Default What to do?

    Hi guys/gals

    I have been extremely bored around the house and have nothing to do.
    So i decided i might as well muck around with the car abit.
    I wouldnt not have a clue where to start.
    I got a VN Calais and its completely stock.
    Is there any mods i can do to it at home?

    Thanks Terry

    why would you want to wreck a Calais......Seriously dude, paint is for the outside of the car, there's nothing wrong with the stock apperance of a Calais interior.

    it's gonna look gay, we hear it all the time, black interior, white interior, it always turns out the same. Unless it's going to a professonal trimmer, and your paying big bucks for it, then i wouldn't bother, and even then it's a waste- And painting the inside of your car, hardly does anything for it's authenticity, or resale does it?, anyway i've had my say so i'll shut up now

    Another good idea there.
    I like the induction noise that the pod filters make but is there any way of getting that noise out of a panel filter?

    Here's an idea, paint your fuel tank. Takes like 20 mins and looks mad too!!

    take the snorkel off the front of the airbox and increase the front hole to the length of the box, sounds better but it will suck hot air like a pod filter, plus the cops wont notice it.

    Or make the CAI thats suggested above
