They aren't polished internationals, they're some 20" chrome things.. OMYPSI is perfect... Honestly one of the best VLs I've ever seen...

Can the owner put more pics up of it please. im not exactly sure on what shade of grey the hubs are but i do know that the writing is supposed to be black, i got some VN S caps because VLT hubs were proving difficult to get hold of the bars on my Berlina turbo were painted by the previous owner, not the original colour unfortunately and the striping was removed... the colour code is available in the tech section... and yes, OMYPSI is missing the commodore badge on the rear garnish, still a mint looking car...

Mate thanks for answering my questions. Is the white Berlina yours? If so my bars are the exact same colour as yours are and my berlina is a white 86 model. Maybe they did come out from the factory with the colour we have atm? You said your hubcaps are from a vn s pack? They look like vl turbo hubcaps to me? whats the difference?

What makes yours even better Evan is that it has a Sunroof man.... Anyhoo, OMYPSI had the COMMODORE badge when he first got it but I read the car got rear ended not long after he bought it.... and hubcaps were silver............
