Looks awesome... Black Calais ftw!

Id love to have that V8 under my bonnet thats for sure!! As for upgrades - best thing I've bought to date for mine would have to be HID's for the lights, such a difference the the stock bulbs its incredible.

But thats just a practical/cosmetic sort of upgrade - performance wise I've heard the OTR intakes are the way to go for the V8's possibly?

Ive always wanted a VZ Calais, especially one with a V8. Awesome pickup mate!
Definitely lower it & put some bigger rims on.

Welcome to the VZ CALAIS Stable ahaha awesome cars!! I would whack some 19" wheels on and lowering. Not much more i would do keep it nice n simple. You could also get these chrome grill bars that u put on each side of the lion badge, have a look at mine nice little addition and not over the top. Congrats on ur purchase, and take good care of it!! A nice layer of dodo wax would top it off!!

Nice purchase should look good with some tasteful mods, plenty of ideas from other VZ Calais owners on the forum.
Minimum performance should start with a decent exhaust then a cold air over the radiator intake (OTR) and a mafless tune for starters.
Good luck with your mods.
