Hey everyone! This is my VL Calais mock-up. I have owned it for just over a month. It�s non-turbo because the money I saved for a turbo conversion went on the engine and suspension. Let me what you guys think of it good and bad it has: - Extractors - Exhaust system - VK Calais Leather Interior - Tinted windows with limo tint at back - Sports steering wheel - K+N panel filter - Pedder�s suspension system - Kenwood mp3 head unit - Has 6x9 3ways in custom Calais parcel shelf, and I think 5inch 2 or 3ways up front in VS pods. - Viper alarm and immobiliser My future plans are to - Get a new respray in same colour. - Get dent in roof fixed - Turbo conversion - And 19inch BSA rims - Then a sunroof Should all be done before I get my P�s Custom parcel shelf which looks awsome Engine bay after i spent 3hours cleaning it up Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
