18s gone, hubcaps now. $12 from supercheap lol. Cashed my tax check so intercooler, major service and tune, new 15" tyres and steering alignment very soon. Then source some gaskets and then its turbo time.

Phone pics so **** quality.

ummm, the dust/wind storm ripped my boot mould off, rear quarter chrome trim off and my p plate off. $400 is parking and speeding fines, a defect other then that nope. Still not motivated enough atm to do aything yet. When the weather warms up ill gwt motivated but right now its been cold windy i feel like necking myself

Im gona have to source new tyres for my 18s soon as im over the hub cap phase.

Finally an update. Yesterday was warm, overcast windows down arm out the window all these ****ers staring at me has motivated me. Going out to my parents house soon to pick up all my calais parts and turbo parts. Going to source all gaskets, bolts everything i need to turbo it. Going to source intercooler kit. Berlina lights and garnish comming off, calais lights and garnish back on (CALAIS) badge will be removed from garnish and replaced with my Berlina badge... Gotta source me a new boot mould and rear quarter chrome trim.... Will eventually put my 18s back on when i get the right size tyres. Yayyyyyy its time :D

Going to respray it aswell. My bro in law is making a spray booth in hes shed. Im not happy with the paint anymore. Its going to be a similar colour.
