hey dude, great first car!! my vt calais II was/still is my first car! same colour as mine too! great choice

sorry to be the one to tell ya mate, but thats a series 1 differences that i can remember are:

Wheels
Woodgrain dash
Umm.. the selected gear is shown on the speedo
clear side indicators
Chrome strip on the rear garnish

Wish mine had leather though you'll enjoy it!!

[FuzzY]

awesome car man, you've made a good choice :P

[triplejdude]

Thanks for the comments guys. What rims do you reckon i should put on there. I was looking at the vy ss rims but they are to commom. Any ideas would be good.

Looks nice mate, don't debadge the Calais badges though.

[Adriianz]

honestly. i think VE GTS look good on anything, or SIGS are good too.

[triplejdude]

Cheers the calais badges are staying. Cheers for the suggestions i really like the ve gts wheels but have heard that they only fit on the ve. I have found some on the website wheels2u.com.au for $990 but dont know about the quality of them. Any info would be appreciated.

Genuine VE GTS wheels would have to be modified to suite pre-VE cars. but if you bought fake GTS wheels they would be fine for your car.

looks tidy mate, great starting platform. heaps of potential there.

Cheers mate. Does anyone know of a good second hand wheels shop either online or located in W.A.
