I'm not a fan of the steering wheel either as it makes it hard to how fast im going at times, Will try and hunt down an original wheel for it.

Very nice mate, i LOVE the look of VP Calais!
Wheels look a treat on it, looks very clean and well looked after, and very low k's.
Worth the money i would think!!!

If i change the grille what do you guys think would be best.

VN Chrome grille
VP Senator
GTS grille

with the senator and GTS grill would it look better in the blue or the silver?

thanks for opinions

They dont look like 20s,maybe 18-19s, the profile on the tire doesnt look right. I have the same steering wheel as you to, should keep it and buy a new P/S pump, get some clear indicators, lift the exhaust and she will look sweet, it's alot nicer on the eyes than the VP lexen. :P
