I'm going to be the first to go against the trend here and say, I don't really like those kind of interiors much. Epically those seats. But every other detail of that black / silver Calais is faultless. Isn't there also pictures of a single tone black Calais that jack is on about in dispute to be shown also?

They suit the car fine. Although, I remember Tas telling me the RTA was sending him letters in the mail about confiscating the number plates because they contained the word "WAR". All this happened during the 9/11 attacks in NYC. But he refused to hand them in and they must've forgotten LOL. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
