Hi Guys! I'm new to...well... this site, VL's(Holdens in general for that matter too!) and pretty much everything that goes with the whole package of owning a VL. I owned a crappy Subaru Liberty before the Berlina! Please send me feedback about the car as I would really appreciate it and let me know everything about this world I have gotten myself into Hope you guys like it! I will take some more photos, this is all I have as I'm at work and its parked under my office at the moment. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I have been told its a fibre-glass calais front bar... I have the original one too and it is also sprayed Gold pearl so I might pop that one on and see how it looks. Also the custom bar means that the pop ups are not functional, which is ok by me as I'm not too keen on the pop-ups myself. No plans as yet... as I said I'm very very very new to this, only bought the car two weeks ago. Thats why im here, Give me suggestions for what you would like to see done to it! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Yeah....I don't mind the single piece front, but I'd lose the tribal design. Colour coded external mirrors go well with the single tone. Make sure you get a Calais high rise centre console to match! Otherwise awesome stuff. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I like. Neat S2 Calais interior; nice and tidy in and out. Maybe down the track I would buy new headlights and re-badge it Berlina style. Nice car mate Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

How well do the fake calais fronts go with high beams? Can't imagine it'd be a) good for seeing at night, and b) legal?

It is illegal. If the car came with a front that partically concealed the headlights, then there must be a method of removing any concealment when they are in use; ie: popups. People use them because they are lightweight.

Hahaha, yes - lightweight people. I don't know how S13 headlights would fit. VL headlights are flat (front), whereas as S13 headlights are curved. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
