Polished lip looks sweet.but after giving the lips a rub down I actually like the flat silver look on it.but will get polished one day.

So today im buying a parts car then im going to clay bar, ultimate cut, and wax the top of my vl see if I can get it looking better

not much progress has been happening.been flat out with work for nearly two years.so now work is slowing down and ill actually be getting two day
weekends i can get stuck into it and get all the stuff i want done in one hit.

on another note i was offered this calais at a good price so i have now decided to add all the calais exterior features to my berlina and turn it into a calais
and then sell off the rest of the calais.

well been wanting to do this for a long time after owning two turbo six walkinshaw replicas im now going to be doing a third........so jumping on the bandwagon and joining in on turning the vl section into a walkinshaw section.......

Loved my VL. Awesome car.

Those seats look like VN Calais seats by the way. They look a lil funny. Quite wide.

VL Calais had the rear head rests too whereas berlina and executive did not.

Calais also had climate control and cruise control, central locking and power windows Im pretty sure too.

Think They all had shitty 185 rubber through the range though hahahaha Calais might have come with 195.
