i've noticed everyones been posting there cars up on here so i thought ill show mine off. this is my vl executive but calai lookalike car..my step dad been helping me out heaps with the car if it wasnt for him i wouldnt of got any of this work done on me car, caz i know **** all bout cars still learninn lol. but ye still not rego. gotta getta blueslip soon. heres a photo of when i first got it. and just caz it has the turbo badge dont mean its got turbo , it dont lol. since then i've ripped out the ****ty executive interior and put calai interior in and put a sports steering wheel in, tinted windows , put a body kit got that primed n painted , 16 rims on it wanna get 18s soon though. put in a calai nose flip nose cone for head lights so they pop up. i got told it wouldnt pass for a blueslip with just the calai lookalike headlights nonflip that i got with the car but i got that sorted. i think its alright now the amount of effort i put into it.. cnt wait to drive it. i've had it sitting out the back for 4 and a half months.. havent driven it since i got it. had to get it towed back to mine. cnt wait to drive it around it but. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

my opinion, get rid of the body kit, keep the calais gear though and get rid of the floor mats, other than that, it looks neat mate

The bonnet scoop is in the wrong spot. Its supposed to cover the vents on the back of the bonnet.

I guess to each his own, but I don't think bodykits suit VL's. Also the rims in your first pic look better than what's on it.. What are they off.. Statesman?

Each to their own. Not everyone likes bodykits, but its your car. Its come up looking pretty tuff, bang on a turbo and your set.

PLEASE GTFO with the body kit and the hood scoop! Also, the metal floor mats are a big no no. Otherwise it looked like a nice car in the first few pictures
