30-03-13, 15:32 GMT+10#31 Sourced a Genuine VL Calais Grille. The boys at AllComm in Moorabbin really went out of there way to get me one. Top blokes and the effort was much appreciated.
Got these chrome dipped at Vinny's in Dandenong. I originally sent em off to get polished then got shown how they will end up in a short amount of time, so the bloke recommended i get them chrome dipped, very happy with the result!
In the process of doing a VLT Brake Conversion, not interested in the VT Upgrade, had thought about it but got everything for a good price of Mat [ITS.WLD]. Much Thanks
Will be painting the calipers either red or black next week still undecided. Also going to give the inner guards a freshen up with some black sound deadner.

07-04-13, 06:42 GMT+10#38 Had a sunroof organized and ready to be put in months ago as in the photo on Page 1 but as everyone knows too well there's a million things you want to do and change throughout a build like mine and the bloke sold it on me but after nearly 4-5months of looking and asking him every two days if he'd sourced another one he called me on Thursday out of the blue and said he picked one up out of a late model Pajero, Hollandia 700 3-way Sunroof, glass top, exactly as VT-VZ sunroof,
If anybody is interested in getting a Sunroof in there VL or any car, I know a bloke that sub-contracts for Prestige Sunroofs and has done heaps of my mates cars for eg. VZ Clubsport, Johnny's old VS Calais [GMBOSS] and A few Eye Candy Cars! He sources a second hand sunroof, pulls it apart, services it and makes sure its 100%, cuts the whole to exact factory specs, does the roof lining and 24hours later it's done!
Supplied and fitted $1200 for my VL! Price may vary depending on the car but 90% of the time it's no more than $1500. Everyone vouches for him and if an issue does come about sometime down the track he will have a look at it for ya free of charge, he'll tell you the problem and how much it'll cost and will look after you labour wise. Mine will be done Thursday night so will upload pics straight away
