Thanx guys, in the process of polishing my calais wheels and putting them on for a bit, just for a little change, but keeping the SSV's.

Cheers guys, Instead of being typical VL P Plater. i am going for a very tidy factory Calais look.
Venetians on their way, new s2 dash cluster, 150buks worth of stuff from rare spares and white walls for the calais wheels.

Hey guys, got my pacemakers, just waiting for the Calais to get back from being painted, The front end is getting a freshen up, new grille and lights and indicators. Got some goodies from Rare Spares as well. The tint will be removed when i get the car back. I also got a new cluster with 10,000klms less. Because my old one was playing up.

Its not sticky.. thats the thing, its on there with wire and zip tires, the wrap is rated to 650 degrees so i doubt it would stuff the zip ties.
