Pic up a set of Momo Star Replicas tomorrow.. 16x7 off memory.. Cost next to nothing (gave a mate a lift to work and back for them).. I know they are a very old style rim, and not the most attractive, but i felt like a change from the VZ Calais wheels... Not to mention that they are cheaper to get tires for, which will help me save $$$ for other mods:D

Ill clean them up a bit, maybe polish the lip and Paint the centers black, or the whole thing black, but ill try the polish/black look first..

Here is a bad pic of them:

Started on my temporary DIY Chrome Door moulds today.. Looks aright.. Dont know how long it will last though.. Here is a pic anyway (Note: Hadn't finished it fully yet, hence the rough edges.)...

Just a few pics of how it looks atm.. The rear right tire died because of 2 screws:( so have 15's on the back atm. Could look worse... Like on black stockies. Also can see the start of the DIY chrome door moulds.

Also
Any one know the legalities of it for a pink slip? Do all the rims need to be the same size?

Yet to look into the tire/rego issue...

BUT got some work done for the car in a study break...

I Prepped the Calais Bumper extensions and painted them... Rattle can touch up paint job... But its so i can just have it all fitted etc..
Once i get the calais skirts and the front lip. Ill get the front bar and lip/skirts/rear bar and extensions professionally done, as it needs it.

Will post pics tomorrow if i get the chance:)

Really nice car man, I'm gunna get A VY Berlina with the leather seats then do the calais garnish and lights, reflecters etc.

Where did you get them? From Holden?

And how much is a chrome strip down the side going to cost you? Or you gunna try find a wrecked calais maybe?
