    My 1993 VR Calais

    I have very big dreams for this car.

    full respray with added flake through stock canterbury blue paint.

    V6 Buick Motor (unfortunately),

    lowered over 20" chromies for now,

    strut top brace,

    extractors,

    2.5" exhaust with a twin tip,

    SS lip kit and boot lip to come,

    160xxx genuine Ks on the clock with full history,

    great interior,

    stereo installed.



    anymore questions, ask! :)

    Thanks guys! :)

    unfortunately, they're the only mods I'm allowed to have as a P plater haha and I'm still not allowed to have that! :( when I get off my P's she'sll be a bit better.

    I didn't write much about it, but If you want to know, ask! :)

    And yes, I will kill that damn effing cat!!

    Only just noticed the paw prints, happens to the best of us... Haha

    And I'm pretty sure this colour was only on VR's, asides from all the other little VS touches, I'd say it's a VR

    love the paint. I have been planning to
    do the same job on my car for a while now, seeing as we have our own panelbeating shop, but it's my daily so can't yet.
    what springs has it got? and how is the camber?
    very clean :)
