It looks great man, I really like the colour. It's not that far off the exterior Calais conversion; you just need to get a set of popups and paint them. Oh, and the badges. Disc rear? LSD? Power options?

nahhh it will alwaybe a fake calais. one day ill get a calais. Its got berlina ass with berlina boot badge on it now. Only thing on it is calais skirts but there staying on. Next month sometime it will be badges as a berlina turbo oh yehhh. If i respray it i want it a similar car just a little more red in it. Sometimes it looks brown and i feel like burning it. Its a ****house spray job anyway Ive lost all the pics of my car now when my computer crashed so no new pics of the berlina ass with badge.

I actually really like the colour. The factory maroon colour on VLs looks wicked in different light.
