    Thanks guys... yeahh im still in 2 minds really like my old rims (so not selling them)
    yellow walled the advantiis today... still havnt made up my mind

    Antondude... cost 1300 for the rear bolt in bags with fast speed and controls up front... costs more for installation but i did it myself... biggest mistake... annoying as hell of a job!

    Old rims looks way better, imo the new ones look a bit tacky but up to you :D
    all in all a sweet whip

    Hey mate sorry bout the late reply but my calais is a series 1 so i think yours comes with the foggies in already so might be easier might be harder... but when installing mine was easy just take your time do it properly and stickerflex is a good friend ;)
