Loving the dark metallic. What ever you do don't put a Calais front on it. Also, what interior you have in it?

Because then it's a mock calais, and while there are some good examples of them, to pull it off everything has to be spot on otherwise it looks weird Plus you're missing electrics and a different interior Keep it sl style, sl wagons look tough as imo
