Nice ride mate.

I LOVE those wheels they look great. And yeah it's lowered enough for sure. The paint work looks like it's in good nick too!

Haven't done anything to audio yet?

Thanks for the comments guys. Yeah I am from Melbourne, the pics were taken down near the docklands under the bolte bridge, great spot for some quick snaps.

I haven't done anything to the audio just yet, I probably will down the track but looking more towards cosmetic looks atm. I am now questioning whether i should have got 19s cause now i want 20s haha.

It's looking really good. Interesting to see how plain the interior of the Series 1 looks. They changed quite a bit of gear for the Berlina but overall, it looks a lot like an Exec interior. It even looks like the cluster doesn't have the silver surrounds to the instruments.

Some of the satin silver bits are pretty cheap and can lift the interior heaps. Don't waste your time with e-bay - they are often dearer than the Holden dealer and the handbrake and selector trims are only a few bucks each.

Pity about the povo steering wheel though - you can't upgrade it - you have to replace it completely if you want something better.

The front lower grille can be cut out to accommodate the foggies. The Calais and Series 2 Berlinas simply used the standard Berlina bar, with holes cut out for the lights. I found this when I replaced my lower grille with the Series 2 grille. The foglight surrounds just clip into the bar, but I don't think they are available as separate bits.

Thanks for the comment. The interior does me fine atm, i might just want to spice it up a bit with the satin silver bits like you mentioned for the handbrake etc, so i will probably look into a Holden dealer and sus it out. As the for steering wheel it's a bit of a shame but at the same time doesn't phase me too much.

I thought that was always the case with the lower grill of the Calais and Series 2 Berlina but don't think i'd be up for cutting the grill myself. I'll have to look into that as well but at the moment going to try and focus more on the audio equipment and take it from there.
