Hey guys, thought it was about time I posted pics of my car.

Basically got it in October '09 for a good price with low KM, and was also absolutely immaculate. It's my second car... had a VS Berlina before this.
It's driven me to Melbourne, the river, Pt. Lincoln, Tasmania, and other places many times without fail. Great car.

Year: October '03 VYII Berlina
Colour: Quicksilver
Motor: 3.6 ECOTEC
Trans: 4 speed auto
KM when bought: 40,000
KM now: 125,000
Price paid: $13,000
Interior conditon: As new, perfect
Exterior conditon: Excellent. One small ding on side.

Interior mods:
- Pioneer double din DVD headunit, Orion speakers all round, pioneer subwoofer in the boot. Professionally installed.
- Silver spokes on steering wheel (not in pics).
- Carpet on the inside of the boot lid
- Darkest legal tint
Thats about it.. not much lol.

Exterior mods:
- Front lip spoiler
- VZ Calais wheels
- VYII Calais front grille and chrome garnish
- VZ Calais rear lights

I also chucked FE1.5 suspension in it from a VYII Calais. Handles well, maybe not as low as I would've liked it but not rough as guts like FE2.

So thats about it. Has been my baby for 1 and a half years, I love it... but I won't be doing any more mods for it as it will soon be going (got myself a VE Calais V).

Cheers.

Very nice...just bought myself the front lip too, love how it looks. Also good work with the grille and garnish.

Thanks mate, yeah I do love it. The front lip adds heaps onto the front end of the car, I see berlinas and series 1 Calais' without it now and just reckon it looks average. I also reckon the larger grille and garnish gives it a better look.

Cheers
