Hey everyone, thought I might throw up some pictures and information about my VL. It's a 5-speed Berlina and it's my first car. I've had it for a year and a bit. When I got it the paint was pretty ordinary so I had it re-sprayed. The previous owner had converted it to manual and put in a turbo lsd diff. The only mods I have done are CAI and XF throttle body. I have also painted the dash and doors to match. Future plans are to turbo it but probably won't be for a while. Pictures just after I had it sprayed with my cousin and uncle's VL's Pics with new wheels: Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

nice subs! they will hammer with the right wiring and amp behind them. i havbe to ask though why paint the interior? i had painted doorpods for a while and didn't realise how bad they were until i replaced them. you look to have used either the same paint or at least the same colour as i did. otherwise looks nice get some berlina pinstriping though would look nice.

Thanks for the comment guys. SIroller: I painted the dash first cause it was gray and the rest was brown. Then i painted the doors just to balance it out. It looks alot brighter in the photos, but i like it.

Looks alot better now that its lowered. Was it a quick respray? The paint is peeling off the bar mould.

Wow, interior is very different. Are you going to colour match the highrise lid and sunnies holder?
