Hey, I have been lurking these forums for a long while now and have finally decided to register! HA! Well here is my VLCT (without the turbo atm) Ill update the thread as i remember what has been done to it [EXTERIOR] - Purple with blue pearl bare metal respray - Brand new lights, garnish, bumpers, almost all exterior parts - 18" white wheels - Lowered suspension - Very straight panels [INTERIOR] - All electrical options and all are working: - 2 way sunroof - Electrical windows - Electrical mirrors - Central locking, alarm, immobilizer - VR SS seats embroided with "Calais" - New carpet in car and in boot - Very neat and tidy throughout [SOUND] - Almost have all the gear, ill update this when its in WAIT TILL YOU SEE IT! HAHA [OTHER INFO] - BIG powerful battery moved to boot - Nice little air intake made and coated with heat resistant paint (will post pics later) [THE BAD] - Bit of a ding in the front passenger door - Drivers window is lazy and NEEDS assistance - NO TURBO YET!!!! I just washed the car and my girl got out her cam and got some decent pics so tell me what you think I have really HI RES ones but i uploaded low res so its easy for people to load... Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

This car used to be in Melbourne - looked at it about 2 yrs ago in St.Kilda.... When i saw it, it needed a bit of TLC but plenty of potential. Good luck!

Yea all those wires are for the sound system. As u can prob see the battery wiring is just in the ducting.

all looks good to me, except for the door trims. i'd go back to vlc ones. i even like the colour + rims. get some hsv or calais centrecaps for them.

i hate to be cheeky but... i have a set of vt vx calais centrecaps. they are chrome lions and rings with a black background. i have been selling the flat silver ones like on vy ss's for about 80 - 90 on ebay final bidding value. feel free to throw me an offer and save me ebay fees listing them. how long have you had the vlc by the way?
