    :D and more importantly his from melbourne!

    looks nice and clean mate, i've been organising a VP Calais photoshot for the melbourne guys, it got postponed a couple of weeks back and we havnt set a new date, but when its happening keep an eye out for the thread in the VIC section ;)

    and calaber i've still got all four of my calais rims will brand new rubber on em, sitting here ;) by the sounds of it you think along the same lines as me, alot of people have told me do this do that, you dont need to do anything to em, there perfect! my rims are one of about 3 sets of rims that i would ever put on

    I know thats why i've had my hands on 4 VP Calais now, check the three in my profile and my two in this forum. Other then sound system the interior's is spot on and there's only like two things different to the VQ stato. While on holiday in the ACT i saw this ugly as white VP SS at a second look it was a VP CAL INTER missing all centre caps and badge's on the side of the road, i think i may have shed a tear for her.

    But whats the difference between 20's or a gen 3, neither are factory n both can rape your car if not fitted correctly mate.

    They were on the car when I bought it mate, you can pick them up from most exhaust places and Autobarn I believe, I'd assume they would be 2.5 inch.

    Yeah they are, dangerous for a P plater like me though, I'm a sensible driver but having bald tyres on the rear it's quite easy to slide out in this weather.
