my vn calais update

[commiedoo]

hi , just thought i would throw up a pic of my 89 vn v6 series 1 exec . i have had it for 15 years and when i bought it it cost $7200 seacond hand ! ..vn's were worth something back then .! . its has the normal gear in it , cold air , pacemakers , kalmaker chip , v8 brakes up front with slotted rotors , group a front and rear bars with senator side skirts , speedy envy mk 1 18'' rims and a reasonable doof set up . shes been repainted about 5 years ago in the original alpine white colour .... she's got 268,000ks on the clock but still make 110.5 rwkw's ...not to shabby ... it makes a good stablemate for the vn v8 calais i have as well ...in the same colour ....love me white commodores ....

looks nice mate, what's up with that Grill?

[elemeNtz]

what do you mean? That's just a letterbox grill. It's not as flush as the kit is different?

I think he is getting at, it should have a Group A grill like this VN group A grill (gr04) - eBay Grills, Exterior, Car Parts, Accessories, Cars, Bikes, Boats. (end time 05-Apr-09 14:50:47 AEST)

Great looking VN though, need more pics

Yeah i dont really like teh Group A grill that letter box grill likes like its custom made or off a VP.

Look really cool. Wheels suit well, and contrary to what other people think, the grill looks tough-I like it
Any future plans for it?

the grill is from classic spoilers on the gold coast as is the rest of the kit . there are two different ''letter box '' grill around one is more square like a vp grill .. i have a grp a grill but am waiting for my calais to get some paint done on it then i'll get the grill painted at the same time . i'm looking at turboing the v6 if i can get a s/h kit i'm looking at cheap enough , if not i might go the yellaterra high lift rockers and a twin t/b set up ..not sure yet ..oh the interior is called dark palimino , a light chocolate colour .if i get the time i'll take an engine bay shot .
