    Talking My VP Calais

    This is my latest edition,
    1992 VP Calais

    Its stock at the moment and below is my plans for it. Only done a couple of minor mods done to it so far:
    - K&N Filter
    - Stereo (Alpine 560w amp, Alpine 6.5 rears, Fusion 6.5 splits(In VR door pods with tweeter in stock speaker position in dash with custom bracket), Kenwood HU) [edit 29/10/07]
    - Clear side indicators [edit 22/11/07]
    - 2.5" cat back exhaust with Lukey Glass Pack centre muffler [edit 19/1/08]

    To do:
    - Mount my amp 'neat and tidy'
    - Lower it (probably super lows in the front and ultras in the rear)
    - 18" shadow chrome rims
    - extractors.
    - replace interior globes with red globes
    - CAI







    Let me know what you think..

    Looks good mate, dont see too many red onse around.

    You should mount ya CB a bit better tho, bit messy there, and wouldnt it get in ya road hoping in n out?

    Besides that mate, she looks good, maybe put sum clear side indicators on her too.

    Just updated my to-do list as I finally finished installing my front speakers into VR door pods.

    Also you'll all be happy to know I've taken the mudflaps off too :P

    Isn't it funny the people who forget to say if its a V8 or a V6 it always turns out to be a V6, no-one forgets to mention their car is a 8.

    Looks like a great example of a VP Calais, you don't see many running around in that colour either!
