    I noticed you removed the chrome strip off the front... Are you by any chance interested in selling it?

    Actually no... surprisingly lol. I had everything changed to white, and red needles. I'm not 100% satisfied with it due to the stereo having polarized glass causing it to go off white, and it looks out of place, that and the digits on the cluster are already white In the Calais so they weren't changed but now they seem dull in comparison.

    Ill get a pic for ya soon.

    What was wrong with the wheels? They looked like the 18in wheels on my VE, and I'm looking for a spare for the boot.

    Good looking VZ by the way and I love the colour.
