does anyone have close up shots of the rear door lower hdt door mould, I bought a pair from rare spares and once fitted onto the back door they come up short a few mil, not sure if they are meant to be like this due to the side skirt, any help will be appreciated thank you.

Sorry I didnt have anything closer-up...I am pretty sure the shape of them is similar to the Standard Calais moulds, but kicks out at the rear door.

Saw this last week, looked genuine but only got a glimpse of it. First LE turbo I've seen on the street. Plate 1CDX 6?3. Old guy with grey hair driving. Sorry for the crappy quality but phone picture from a long way away. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

There is a Blue LE VL Calais turbo that gets around my area on a regular basis..... It's driven by a mature women with the kiddies in the car. I always see it at the local shopping centre car park or on the road. The car needs a good resto, a damn shame such a rare car is being treated like a SL. But good it's getting used I guess. It's driven and parked like any other daily. Makes me smile when I see it.
