My VP Calais V8

[emilyy]

So finally. It is LOWERED. Looks good I had my 17's on when we lowered it... Well it turns out VP Calais aren't really made for lowered with rims as is.. After smelling burnt rubber we pulled over to realize the 17's on the back were rubbing and I screwed the inside walls.. shiiiit. So we put my 15's on Here are some photos:

And here is the damage of my 17's:

Well the 15 inch calais wheels are on right now and they are fine.. I like them better than the 17's. I want to keep it more vp calais spec anyway The 17's were temp until I got my calais wheels polished up nice.. Which I didnt get time to do ): Oh well eventually I will

UPDATE!
So TAFE (Josh) did a few bits and pieces to my car today
Changed the diff oil as it was dirty and very low

Cleaned my injectors, In which about 4 injectors we're not working xD

They also tightened my belt woo and looked at my weird rattle. Thought it was my transmission but it was just my exhaust rattling on something.... But now I have a new bad problem... My passenger front and rear door has deadlocked... Feel sorry for Josh who has to climb in and out of the window haha. Called Holden because I thought it might be an imobiliser problem but the lady was quite rude to me and said they cant help. Even though I called them a few weeks ago about a remote key and the guy was so nice and told me to call back anytime for any help.. Tssk. But she told me to go to the Holden dealer and see if they can help. So I went to the one and only Holden dealer where I live and the guy was nice and tried to help but he couldn't so he said to get the good old TAFE guys (lol) to very awkwardly try to take out the passenger door trim and fiddle with the actuator to try to undeadlock it (Turning to the left doesnt work)..The new bonnet is so ... not dented i love it. Lol. I also need a new fuel filter then i can run my car on petrol!

Also I picked up a new amp because my old one kept stopping for $50:

And how it is now... Get a few looks but eehh. People see miss matched panels I see a straight bonnet finally

Now just needing to buy an electric sander and then I can get it painted.. Getting close.

So I haven't been on here in a while but here's what I have done:
Went on a trip to Adelaide with no problems
Successfully completed a trip to Adelaide/Riverland and back with no problems... Well no problems after some "minor" repairs

Yeeaaahhh U-Pull-It. And yes, I ran over a cement thing and pulled my bumper off.. Ooops.

.. Not about my car but I bought my boyfriend a Vp ss. -.- a donor car for his car (he has to pay me back though )

Made the decision to have Josh (DUD3) paint my car. He may as well get some experience out of it. Also decided to paint the bottom silver again while we're at it. So got that paint ($43) as well as an air compressor, spray gun and hose. Now to prep the shed and clean it all up and spend a good day sanding my car. Also to hire a jet heater Getting closer. Oh I got an orbital sander and such, Josh has sanded some of my boot.

Bought some new VP Calais taillights and got my garnish re-chromed also got some new guard indicators:
All up I paid $193-ish.

Excuse the bird cage lol

Hmm bought some LED parker lights xD And about to buy "spacer caps" 15 inch ones and white wall inserts

After that, whenever I can, depending if we don't get bills (-.-) I have to get a key cut for my imobilisor thing and then go and get my car programmed for a beeper key YES!
