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.

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. ---------- Post added 27-05-12 at 21:37 ---------- Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

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. ---------- Post added 04-06-12 at 22:17 ---------- But nar i didnt use any water.
