Just gave the Calais a wash and clay bar, de greased and washed the engine bay and chamois. Hasn't had a good clean like this for a while, still scrubs up alright though.
Just a few pics.

Looks as good as it always has. Hard to beleive this thread has been here for over 5 years and you still have the cars most people on the forum seem to change their cars every few years.
I noticed from the pictures you no longer have calais lights and garnish. Not a fan of the white lines/stripes?

So keep the VN. It's still a good car (now that the stupid leaky sunroof is gone), so i'm in no hurry to offload it.
The lights are still Calais, but the garnish is a stocker i re painted in 2 pak black, just never got around to putting the stripes back on it.
Thanks mate, yeh i heard it was in there, just havn't got to a newsagents to get it. It should be even better this time around, stay tuned.
