Hayden's Vx Calais

[carra909]

thanks guys. im still inlove with the rims, to me they look like a cross between the original 16's being 10 spoke with the machined face and the ve gts in the v formation. pretty surprised that i have only ever seen them fitted one car that isnt a ve.

yeah white ebay leds, the first set i got came with one yellow and one white so thats like 5 weeks of waiting, my next plan is to changed all of the interior lights to white leds. just haven't had the time to find out what size everything is

Car is looking good mate, nice tasteful mods.
Get the VXII Calais headlights (the black ones), they'd made the front look waaay better. :thumbsup:

yeah well with that and the old rims made it look like it was grandpas race car, id rather have it looking like a clean cruiser.

and also being aftermarket i only had to put a globe back in the reflector as the third light wasn't blacked out from factory

sweet thanks for the help, ill deffs be off to holden on monday night to pick them up

in the mean time ill be waiting by the letterbox for the lights to show up.

other news, i washed her all up today n went for a drive, a gold calibra pulled up as i was driving n everyone in it was shouting i had a nice car. i think they were appreciating a car that doesn't have the electrical problems that his did. made me remember my old mans one and all the problems he had with that... every week there seemed to be a new problem

thanks to gillo i purchased new led lights for the interior and clear covers for the shitty green ones, did that about a week ago n never got round to upping the photos.

Then on monday, hopefully as an unrelated incident the alternator **** itself n was only spitting out 6 volts from the B+ terminal. pulled it apart and cleaned every contact, put it back in and still no good. sooo dad knew someone whose wife works some where n i got a brand new bosch one for $210, pretty good considering with a qantas discount a1 auto could only do $330.

also polished the plenum cover and gave the gas mixer a quick rub down so it all matched the new alt

any way here are some shitty phone photos to tie you guys over
