Pretty clean Berlina you got there, i love it. Soo clean it's not funny, specially the interior woo hoo. Love the blue on it too. You should leave the original colour i reckon, keep it stock. Just get new Headlights and if you're planning on getting an exhaust go for 2.4" for an N/A. cHEERS

Might be the way the photo was taken or something, duno i thought the headlights looked a little bit faded. NEW ones would make the front look cleaner. Keep up the good work though. it's hard to find decent Vls in that condition nowdays Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Nice cars, but i wouldnt go take the limited edition stickers off, like the stockish look plus you never see any of them around anymore. P.S. if ya wanna sell that berlina anytime i might take it off your hands Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

thanx for ur comments guys, she is very clean, gonna dump it on silver interceptors and leave it at tha, just got my exhaust done, 2.5 inch cat bak with a 3inch dumpy, got a leak in the exhaust manifold so it doesnt sound as good as it should with the exhaust, but getting extractors so that will fix it up, i took all the badges off, still got them but il leave the LE sticker along the bottom, breaks it up a bit n i dont really notice it neway, i like the colour it is 2, try keep it as original as possible...

Theres a LE that lives next door to my friend's parent's place. Every time I go there, I nearly walk into the tree out the front as I'm looking at it too much! There is something about them, really nice looking. Its actually white with the silver bars/moulds, and the LE badging in grey. Have either of you thought about getting chrome handles? I think the dark coloured VLs look wicked with those handles, especially the blue ones. Your bf's Calais is beautiful.

Oh, now I see that yellow tank you've been talking about. Looks decent, but not for me. Mint looking colour for the car!
