Cheers mate, got abit more to go before im happy with mine. Still not sure about wheels, whether to keep standard rims or go sumthn else. I think id rather put the money towards goin faster lol.

thats the go, the calais lights are much nicer. Thats one thing im disapointed about the clubbys, the front lights are sweet with the black around the edges but the back r so ****n boring! The executive lights look better, wtf.

The coilovers were $1740 and i fittered them myself. Definatly make your clubby perform. I got them all round. Just havnt got any pics up yet with it dumped now. Just put up a youtube vid of it thoe with the new engine work

Yeah im bit of both only think i need for looks is new rims and some body work respraying! Stupid country cars!!

Yeah from what ive seen the calais lights **** all over the rest!

Ok very nice, once ive done the basics ill have to look into some better handling work! Sway bars, links, Coil overs Ect.


The lights that are different are VY Exec, SS, S etc. VY berlina, Calais and all VZs

So you will be able to fit VY Calais or VZ Calais lights. Personally i'd rather VZ SV6 lights :)



About time you got your username changed too haha


Exactly right stealth :p
Yeah thought i'd give the user name a bit of changeage lol

PM sent!

Ahh it has alot of stone chip marks in the front from being a country car, and a few little touch ups on the body kits. Yeh i wanna go 20's, it scrapes already on the rear with 19's so im gonna have to get the guards rolled soon!

oh ok cool. Lookn at your pics n yours sits the same height at the rear but ive had no drama with scrubbing with the standard 19s, different offset in wheels i guess. I gotta get mine rolled thoe to fit the slicks under there for the strip so the possibility for throwing sum 20s happen 1 day. N i was thinkn the plus side is itd raise the car up abit so it dont scrape as bad but yet keep the guards full so it still looks low

u will probably fit them....if u get the exact offset. But bcoz there are only so many options 4 offsets on most wheels ur chances are slim. Otha option would b mini tubs....now thatd look phat!
