Looks clean as. Very interesting colour.

Thanks mate, it is a nice colour, wasn't sure about it when I first got it but ended up really liking it.

what did the sunroof set you back? Also, do you think it was worth it?

Sunroof cost $2250, they came out to my house to install it, took them half a day. Was the same people who used to fit them to the brand new Holdens and HSV. To me it was worth it, because I have always wanted a sunroof but every car I got never had one and I could never afford to get one fitted or wasn't sure about how long I would have the car for. I plan on keeping this Calais for a long time so decided to have one fitted seeing as it didn't have one already. I use it nearly every time I take the car out and always leave it tilted up while parked at work on a nice day, also allows the heat not to build up so much in the car when parked. So I love it, and definitely glad I got it!

Dude, so mint. Looks great. Love the colour.

Thanks man

Nice ride.

Sorry, havent checked all the posts, but you looking at changing wheels?

I am trying to decide on wheels, was thinking of either 20" HSVi Supersports or 19" VE SSVs. I think I would like to go with the Supersports but am having trouble finding them, they seem to be hard to get, especially around the Gold Coast, Brisbane area. I am happy with the standard wheels for now and also considering the tyres are almost new from the previous owner, but definitely something I will end up changing. Also was thinking maybe 20" G.Max Heritages, I had some on my WH Statesman and loved them, but just need to think about it and what I really want.

Looking at your sunroof pics suddenly makes me want a black roof lining and black pillars.....

Not sure what the colour is called, wasn't sure about it when I first looked at the car but it's going on me now and I like it

Yeah I like the black roof lining, got cream colour roof lining in the VE and I like the look of the black better.


In other news, I have ordered some performance mods, a brand new Yella Terra snout with 82mm Pulley and brand new Yella Terra Power Pipe Intake. Should have them fitted by the end of the year (hopefully within 2 weeks).

I have to agree, it's a great colour & a clean car.
