just to update the original post the exhaust is a 2 1/4 inch all the way with upgraded extractors ( rushed that post relished i can't edit it)
a lot has happened since i posted up the pics a month ago
i grinded and welded a plate in the wheel well and around the rubbers to stop leaks from the rust
I've painted the hole boot black and sound deadener everywhere i can ( carpet goes down anyway)
cleaned and polished up the garnish and tail lights
put stokies on the rear because the vy's have no more tred ( dam hate having an money)

lookn good mate
should be good if u do all the things youve planned for it
those VY Calais wheels look perfect on the VL, might consider some for mine.
whats with the missile switch?
garnish is looking good too, did mine recently and it makes a huge difference to the looks
