Well guys I am nearly 18 in 4 months, I saved up 5 grand and i wanted to buy a nice clean vl calais but wasn�t going any higher than 5 k well recently I just brought my self a 1987 vl calais s2 for 5 grand. i have been saving for one for so long.... BY THE WAY I GOT MY CAR OFF A GIRL WHITCH SHE BROUGHT IT OF HER DADS, AND SHE DROVE IT FOR 2 YEARS BUT SHE COULDNT AFORED TO DO IT UP COSS SHES WAS AT UNI.. The car was really clean it only has done 208 thousand ks, no cuts to the interior and no smoke holes.. the only problem was the boot which ill get it fixed so I don�t mind about that.. So since I brought it I have put new tyres and polished my original mags, all new brakes, new leather steering wheel, new horn, and most of all new number plates they are called ( MUZAVL )... The first pic is the real colour of my car... ( Sorry guys this is 3 different phone camera�s and so there $%07 Anyways TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK..... ... thankz guys.... It's the first time i am using it so i am not sure if the pics get throw ,,,, Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Quote: looks clean man.. who did your wheels well bro i got it off the yellow pagers ... but this guy chaged $40 for each rim but the problem is if you still have your wheels on it its $60 each so its 40 bucks to polish them and 10 bucks to take off and put on. aparently there is a tyre shop next to him so... if you need to do that they will work it out for you ... when i called him he know about the calais mags i asked him how the rim was and he said to me dont worry i have done it alot of times... " he was like so they look like 50cent coin .... so i am gessing he knows what hes talking about ... Eastern Metal Polishers ( 9761 5065 ) Factory 4 163 canterbury rd kilsyth 3157 so thats it bro ... ^ good luck bro Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
