bad pics, very hard to see much really
it's missing chrome stripes on upper bumper moulds
wrong door handles
also missing bullet badges on guards
can't even see the interior
better pics, less close ups would help
as dixie asked is it a n/a conversion?

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

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!

post some close up some pics of your car russ so we can pick all the **** on it, and make sure you keep the thread open...
this bloke has just bought a car he obviously loves, and all you can do is give him a list of cosmetic things that you dont like.
maybe he doesnt like the bullet badges? maybe he likes the door handles it has? maybe he's got a chrome strip in his bedroom waiting to go on.
what im trying to say is that he doesn't need the "bt1 guru" telling him what is wrong with his car.

20-12-07, 09:34 GMT+10#14 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

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.
