95 VS Berlina V8, VS Calais 5spd, VN V8, VR States
So what's the story with the berlina? Where you allowed to drive when you first put the V8 in it?
What are you mod plans for the Calais?

yeah was allowed to drive it, use to daily the v8 berlina but i lost my p's a second time, dont bother arking up anyone etc, so had to to sell my vn v8 manaul wagon to get the calais, well seeing its a gutless v6 either do few mods like diff, cai etc then when i get off my p's its all up in the air l67, turbo 6 or gd old 5.0L unsure yet more than likely super six but for now just make it neat and nice as i daily drive it

did think u would want to sell your stato?

yeah i like to disappear lol, the console looks quite bad lol i like neat hahah.

ohk i had a cracked tail light some got some non genuine brand new light's i think the non genuine fit better as i have brand new genuine on the berlina and they stick out.
also got wk indicators always wanted them for the calais. and picked up a cheap stato console little bit crack but that doesn't matter as that part will be fiberglass up anyway. and theres a rear shot with ve statesman badges and the white garnish does look better than the fish scale one
