Very nice car you have there mate! Nice work buying it with your own money too!
Where abouts are you from, because I'm selling my VE SS/SV6 rims. I had them on my VT and they looked awesome.

thanks for that guys

yeah lazy six i really liked how they looked on your calais n i think ur car has kinda put it in my mind to get em for me

Dave, see the thing with me buying the car with my own money and having to pay for schooling and not having a decent job has left me with no money... so future mods will be left for, well you know... the future. but they do look nice on that vt.
im also from the western suburbs of melboure

thanks for the replys

yeah ive been meaning to change the woodgrain... haven't found the time today it yet.

i haven't done any serches yet but would any one know weather or not a statesmans dash fascia would fit in my car. i haven't seen it done as of yet and was thinking just spraying the woodgrain sliver on one of them and putting it in would look pretty good.

ill leave the wing for now, too many people are taking it off so id like to put a vt senators on, ill have to keep an eye out for one
