Are you the owner of this car? or are you selling it for someone? 8500 is a fair bit for a mock up

He is the owner. It may be a bit for a mock-up, but he prides himself on the detail. Most people just get 2nd rate calais parts and throw them on. Craig will only put the best of the best (new if possible) on the car and no detail has been left out. If you didn't look at the VIN plates, you wouldn't pick it to not be a real calais from factory.

not bad man looks good. GL with sale. pride in detail is the key to a clean ride.

CraigO, mate change the URL from photobucket so the photo's show up in the thread unstead of clicking on them to open, also show more picture's of THE HOLE CAR, your car stands out, show these people what they are paying for. goodluck champ. WHITEY

I've had a good look at this car several times, and the attention to detail is spot on. No expense has been spared, all original parts have been used to make it as genuine as possible. New owner will not be disapointed. Best of luck with sale Craig, it's a top car. Cheers Mark.

This car looks very clean, its even got the pinstriping down the sides still and the polished engine parts look great. You might not pick thats its not a factory calais, but things like the plenum let you know thats its more than likely not a factory turbo. Good luck with the sale, definetely a clean example, i payed $9180 in early 2004 for a MINT!!!!! (122,000 k's) Berlina converted to turbo, only the A6 block, VIN number and N/A Auto gearbox gave it away, otherwise it was a near perfect conversion. So for anyone thinking its too much for a mockup, then guess what, you don't have to buy it, you're paying for a clean unmolested calais with genuine parts in near new condition.
