bloody straight car there mate. heaps of potential. if you're going for that brake upgrade go the DBA slotted. I've got DBA street series front and rears and they pull up the calais no sweat.

Thats semi sorted, got sub and amps sitting in the living room. just need the splits and headunit and a weekend to do it all.

Was thinking about that or possibly go a ap racing upgrade... but if you think the rotors do the job i might just grab them

they look alright but I think you need something with a little more colour, full black rims only work on a few colours and I think white isn't a strong enough colour to go with them. maybe some of the newer model SS,SSV or even clubby rims? might look good.

Probs going down to the wreckers this weekend to find some interior parts to replace the ones that arent upto scratch as well as the centre door compartment...

Fair call but i would have to say white cars pull off black rims very well. a black on white colour scheme suits very well in my opinion

Cheers mate, definitely going black rims. something like i linked above or:
