PHATVL started off as a White N/A VLC.
After an accident with another P Plater, it was decided that the car will get fixed and also paint the bottom moulds and bumpers silver.
After a while the 17inch AJR rims were getting a bit boring, so a set of Polished FR 18's were purchased off TWO89.
Now that the looks were finished, it was decided the car would be taken to Bresciani Racing for a turbo conversion for that bit more power. Also, the letterbox grille was changed to the standard Calais grille for the more original look. Included in the conversion was a standard T3, Intercooler with Black piping, AFM in piping, VLT injectors, VLT Auto, Catch can etc.
After this was done, all badges were put back on including the rear turbo and holden badge, front calais badge, fender badges, and also the interior badges. The FR 18's were sold and a pair of Silver 19 inch VX GTS rims were purchased. Ignore the dirty picture of the rims, they look mint when clean.
PHATVL was again taken back to Bresciani Racing and the Bresciani plenum was purchased. John also painted the rocker cover Red and added some other minor changes.
Will keep you's updated.
