Looks like you've done the hard yards and from those pics I'd say you've come up trumps. Nice car and nice work.

Not trying to troll but your car is a rolling defect. Love the work you put into it though.

Nice car mate, thats a lot of work you have done. I was the same, built my car with my apprenticeship wages.
Including car parts (VS, VT, VX, VY, WH etc), my WH Statesman, and other things listed on eBay.

Tail lights not visible or adr apporved. Tint illegal. HID in vehicle that didn't originally have it. 10k is near on purple which is just stupid. Again just my personal opinion not trying to troll.

Tail lights can be seen clearly, yes tint is to dark , and no the head lights are not stupid they are near blue not purple thanks. If they are engineerd to be there you can have anything.

Thanks .. But you can engineer HID's if you have the correct head lights which you cant get for a vs

Don't tell me what you can and can't do with HID's I know all about it.

Right ... So A VE Calais, HID's and a VE Omega with halogens , your trying to tell me if you put the head lights from the calais into the omega you wouldnt be able to engineer that ?
Obviously, You can
