The main thing is you got it back dude. Atleast they didnt torch it. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

yeah basically mine had all those problems pretty much 2. i got rid of mine, but mine was only a vk. youve realy gotta think about the costs in fixing it up, and then compare to buying a new one. get a few quotes, then make ur decision.

my interior is of some concern to me now, its pretty much all ****ed up and the door cards are broken, what do you guys think would be the best option on replacing it, im looking for something with abit of luxury, i was thinking series 2 calais but its a berlina and doesnt have power windows, i cant be f,ucked installig them and i dont want holes in my trims or console. what do you guys think? would it be worth it to take it to a custom interior place and have them do it? thanks

it would cost a lot of money for custom interior for the vk, i got every piece of vk calais interior and did it all myself (cost maybe $400 from a wrecker from memory). you can always do the windows yourself, its not that hard once the trimmings are off. but if u want to spend the money, get it custom. and for the power mirrors, there is a bit of plastic that can cover that whole in the centre console.

well ive heard people spending around $2k. i think that could have been for leather, and it went up from there. but for velour u would think a bit less that that, really matter if u want everything done, im guessing maybe 1k and up?
