Gots them from autobarn at $3.95 a meter and it has tape already on it so just peel off the plastic and your set. I'd love some other rims but can't afford it atm Quote: Originally Posted by vlcts man that thing is real nice now, good as job on it Thanks man, more to come.

If my calais rims were in better condition I'd have them on for sure

yeh mate well done with the car its certainly come a long way. I love the front the calais front looks great, just reckon you should do something with the rear lights as they still have the stocki sl look abou them. You have got the calais front look going maybe chuck some calais gear on the back. I reckon it would look smik as with a calais garnish an tailights on it man, but thats just me. Awsome job but bro, you should be proud its very clean Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Awsome job but bro, you should be proud its very clean Thanks man, I'm going the calais tail light moulds and boot strip and continuing the white effect with them, also going the director look with the tail lights. SOme people say overkill but I'm just happy to say it will standout from most Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Nice project mate, like what you've done with it so far.. Should look good with the Calais Rear Bar & Le extention. What are the plans for the front ? I agree with most though that you should go the Calais lights/Rear Garnish and get the venetians in black to break it up abit.. Still all the best with it.

Thanks man, I've taken the rear bar to work to slowly get it ready and paint it, as for the front I'll leave it like it is for now but I really would like a formula factory front bar extention. Hopefully will be getting my calais rims polished if i can get 4 done for around the $200-250 mark

that is looking absolutely stunning. especially with the cal sides. as for the chrome strips thats the way to do it, stainless steel og stuff gets stolen, bent, falls off... its really not worth using, all of mine sat sticky tabed onto a plank of wood under my house so it was well out of dangers way.

Just went through my photos and realised mine and my mum's VL now look too much alike Who else agrees??? Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

How did you go about cutting the chrome strips? and how does it finish at the gaps? is it just a staight cut? Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Quote: Originally Posted by MxPx VL How did you go about cutting the chrome strips? and how does it finish at the gaps? is it just a staight cut? I used side cutters and cut separate strips for each mould and on the wheel arches i just cut the angle of them

also keen to know more about the chrome strip tape??? close up pics and that would be great...

Here's some pics of the chome strips, sorry aboutb the poor qual as I jus took them now at night. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
