The VY 2 and VZ Calais lights are the same, I think, only the lower portion is blacked out on the VZ. It might be cheaper to try to separate the tail-lights the same way as the headlights and paint the chromed section out. It works for the headlights so why not for the other end, and saves bulk bucks.

just took the spoiler off finally, was pretty easy but didnt really want to cut the wires, but in the end i had to anyway, now selling it if anyone is interested.

patched up the holes with some plugs from repco that fit in there nicely but looking to get it welded and touched up within the next few weeks

heres some pics with and without it.

cos i couldnt find exactly where to unplug them, and i just got sick of looking so i just snipped them. probably wouldnt have been a bad idea to actually unplug them but it was taking to long and i just wanted to get the spoiler off and the holes filled up before it rained.

cheers for the comments guys

Heres my ride!
Hasnt had anything done to it yet really, is pretty much as stock as a calais comes except it has holden by design FE2 Suspension.
Mainly looking at getting the exterior done first
> 20'' Dolce DC-06 rims
> Take the spoiler off
> Tint the windows, darkest legal tint, if not darker
> Lower it on SSL king springs

and see what happens from there.


Any suggestions let me know

Hope you like it!
