aus880 - no one likes a negative prick Yes the pics are massive and it's missing a few things that make it look like "genuine factory Calais Turbo", but give the guy a break he only just bought it

come on russ be nice mate none of us started with a perfectly clean canvas- not even you Looks good mate your plans sound good if i was you i'd make sure the driveline/engine combo was 100% before i went getting 20s and trim... it looks good as is just get the rear plastics re done, loose the tints and get some venetions Edit: Also if you did the black around the bottom of the bumpers it would make a big difference as well but it's not a huge deal!

hey mate to resize the pics to look good on the site all you do is just open the pic in paint then go image - stretch/skew - and stretch horizontal-vertical by 50% then save the picture then upload the pic again via tiny pic and should be sweet Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Russ, you're slipping... You missed the aftermarket wheel's, engine mod's and non original numberplate's on your list there. In all seriousness though, I don't think the dude care's, and just want's to pick up babe's and do some burnout's. Enjoy. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
