I had a thought the other day , how amazing a VL calais could look if someone was smart enough to paint it a really really nice darkish grey. Then it came to me, that that someone has already had that smart thought and put it into action. This car is amazing. Keep it up

This Calais needs some love. She's been feeling pretty left out lately as I've been paying a lot more attention to the white girl with the polished Calais shoes So I decided to start showing my love and buy some new bling suspension parts. Girls love bling. Have VN/VP lower strut bodies which are getting repainted black New Adjustable Koni Yellow sport shocks, King Superlow springs, Kmac adjustable camber/castor plates, new bump stop kits All new superpro bushes - Top Spring Insulator bushes, Radius rod to chassis bushes, Lower Control arm to chassis bush, Control arm to radius rod bush, Heavy duty Sway bar link kit to suit the VN struts, new ball joints fitted to lower control arms. Havent picked out a new sway bar yet, but its currently got a 26mm bar which is bigger than the standard FE2 bar more to come later maybe Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Why the yellows over the reds?

yellows are externally adjustable, just pop the bonnet, remove the dust cap and turn. -whereas the reds need to be removed from the car to adjust I've got a set of reds but they need to be rebuilt...

could possibly be different for other cars, but for VL's the yellows always have cost more than the reds
