    I'd rather as many opinions. More ideas the better, ill most likely keep the plates green cause I'm tightass .
    It does have the Calais grill but doesn't stand out as much on the white and rims I was thinking maybe just getting either the Calais rims or just interceptors until I can afford ssv's cause the rims on it now really don't suit .

    Dakster it's coming up pretty good now.
    I can imagine heart attacks would suck a lot.

    But once your better and you finish it I think it will look amazing

    I hope I can find a good deal on wheels :D

    You missed my point with the photos lol, its not about my car its about yours. Note where the grill holes have had the black added. Makes a huge difference to the look of the car, and only costs a couple bucks for a spray can.

    Yours being a Calais with the rest of the chrome on it though, I am surprised it doesnt already have the chrome inserts, and long term I would certainly being looking for some of those instead.

    Heart disease is mostly self inflicted, and certainly is in my case. I deserve a smack in the head for that, not sympathy, but thanks anyway :).

    Now that I am on the computer I see what you mean, and it really does make a huge difference with the black in there, I think the chrome inserts would look good but maybe even the spray can idea would give it a different look all together.

    Your always full of ideas Dakster.

    And Demonica, If I couldn't handle criticism I definitely would not be on a car forum haha.

    still undecided on wheels? this after all is a calais, it needs some wheels with class. 'cepters with dress rings are for execs I'm afraid.

    what about some polished VS Caprice wheels?

    Possibly if I find some cheap, but not a huge fan of wheels that style but I might get some vs Calais wheels until I can afford some ssv's ,

    And yeah the chrome nostrils look good

    Froggz I have my old Ecotec Auto memcal from before I got the larger TB. It worked well and if you want it cheap (Less than half price or so) throw me an offer (MACE one obviously)
