My recomendations are Berlina tailliights and garnish and black window surrounds, would be perfect like that. Looks great how it is though, the dark wheels look real good. My dad has a GTS (NZ only model?) which come factory with a front lip, group A grill and LE boot spoiler, the owner before him had LE sideskirts and rear lip added. But his front lip is smaller than that, just thought that was wierd. (Your's makes your car look stronger than his does) I think his rear lip looks bigger than most I've seen though.. might be wrong, but his front lip is definitly softer looking than that.

Thanks dude and Yes there is a smaller front lip available, one of my mates wants it. Not sure bout the NZ thing but it sounds sweet dude. And thanks slick, all in good time! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

And thanks slick, all in good time! Bigger one looks better, you made the right decision! Matches up with the rest of the kit better too. Nah the GTS is pretty lame, all it is is a subtle kit, FE2 suspension, maybe slightly bigger front brakes, and 15 alloys like the Calais wheels but instead of lots of little black recesses theres just 5 big ones. Everything else is run of the mill. Have you done anything to your engine other than the exhaust? Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Ah ok. Well suswgn here helped me out with a stage 3 cam the other day. It was a bitch to get the timing right and now i think my power steering belt is too tight, but it sounds sick and goes harder lol. Other than that a K&N panel filter and some fully sick blue ignition leads. suswgn keeps nagging me to boost her.. "BOOST IT!" but i get enough looks from the cops as it is. :P Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Mate they are the first places i tried. Wreckers are a possibility if i can find one that still has them.

Looks hot man, i love the back rims. But i also do like the normal vl lights on there, if you like those get rid of the black strip make it white maybe?

Thanks man. Yeah i wouldnt mind New VL lights but i really want dark ones, i just think it would suit the whole 'black & white' theme the rest of the car has. Cheers dude.

slick - Yes mate, another user on here was kind enough to sell me his, trouble is i have to drive 6 hours to get there! Haha cwreck - Thanks for the offer but i work at a modifying shop and have managed to source one. Would love to go for a cruise for some nice photography if anyone is up for it. Im a budding photographer at the moment, And part of my job is actually to edit photos (to make them wall worthy and so on), so if anyones interested in some nice photos of their ride, gimmie a yell.

sv, Lazza and NAS thanks very much. She wont be finished for a while yet Damn P plate laws. Avenged haha, I didnt say it would be good to live there.. but i have visited and it is a nice place. lol And in about a month i will have calais tail lights and tail light surrounds. Cant wait. Took off next to a lancer at the lights last night and seeing how slow my car is in comparison got me thinking, i need some power, and i need to get rid of the heavy ass sub box in the boot. Ill post some pics of it before i remove it so you guys can see tonight. I built it myself in year 12. I might even sell it if some one is interested? Cheers. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Thanks dude but seats will have to wait as a few other things have popped up. **UPDATE** ..again Alrighty! Well i have managed to get a full set of calais tail lights but unfortunately i still have not found the garnish that goes around the tail lights. But it looks infinity times better for the time being. I got a custom dash cluster made up few weeks back. Rear disk brakes and another diff goes in soon. Stage 3 cam shaft is in. And im getting my boss to finally do up a quote to paint my window surrounds black tomorrow. Now I'm not quite sure, is it Satin Black or a Gloss Black? I think i will go with Satin black but i wasn't sure. But anyway pics will go up tomorrow. Cheers guys! OH P.S. - I get to work at Street Machine Magazine next week, so i'll be spending the whole week in Sydney if anyone wants to go for a cruise.
