might sound dumb but did all the vlt's come out with the turbo hubcaps or just berlina and if just berlina what did the exec turbo come out with?

generally all VLTs had 15" wheels, either Calais rims, chasers with centre caps or what are affectionally known as 'turbo hubcaps'. Obviously some people got Momos, HDT or other a/market ones fitted from new though

cheers aus880 thanks for your time and help

i don't imagine they came on every vl turbo as they are quite rare and i'd think there would be more floating around if this was the case, as there is still heaps of original turbo stuff floating around otherwise

id prefer a mint berlina turbo with the tubo hubcaps than a calais turbo on fr19s. ****ing love em Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

yeah they are pretty cool.. they came with the 'holden' in red didnt they ?

^^ id rather have winders than electrics.

wtf? Unless your too cheap to keep em in working order i cannot imagine why anyone would prefer window winders? The whole "light weight" thing doesn't count if you've added speakers, stereo, mags etc by the way Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

nah... think about it.. creaky old 20 year old electrics that stutter all the way up and sound like a barn door opening and closing? i'd rather have the retro cool of a window winder Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
