VP Calais Series II V6
Sorry for not replying earlier
$3500 i picked her up for, she was really nice except for the crack in the windscreen. Which leads me to why im posting again:
So decided to get my windscreen fixed after all it was coming up to rego and need a pink slip, wouldnt pass with a massive crack in it so had to get a new one. So driving around one day i noticed this like tapping sound coming from the back everytime i went over a bump ( and in Syd theres plenty of them!)
So stopped, and went round to the back
looked everywhere all over the seats and then looked on the shelf, to my surprise finding little glass bits scatter across it. So i thght hmm well its either been broken before and its jst the bits rattling around, gave it a clean and bobs your uncle.
Didnt work like that however, when shutting the back door after thnking ive solved the tapping i noticed that the rear windscreen literally jumped 1-2 inches out of its rubber :eek:! So i thght oh no ive bought sumthing which has been in a crash, and its been repaired like crap! So out comes the wallet (Dads thankfully) and sent it to dads work to get fixed, at least its fixed now!
So went and got it pink slipped and rego done, which was fine. Dad comes home one day and goes u no how u want a radio, this guy at work can get it done heaps cheaper than say strhfield car audio or super cheap. However he only installs "good sh*t" so it may cost abit. So after choosing the one i got (a kenwood) it went into dads work and now i have an awesome radio!
other then whats been said shes pretty stock standard, might do a service on it soon.
saving for some rims, possibly XHP krayzees any1 no how much they cost? and any other suggestions?
Thanks guys
