It looks awesome with Red Parkers mate. Great new look! Makes me want an Angel eye set so much more! I have the switches already.. just need to invest in a set. Best place to buy them from mate?

Dont forget to take a video of them like we were talking :P

Mate...
Red Parkers certainly do look better than the Blue ones, but they won't suit every car...
I got my Headlights on ebay from CPK1977, in 2010, but just do a few searches online...

A few recent items received...

Then I'll be sorting out all of the 'Interior Switches' to complete the LED Interior Upgrade...


Im hunting for better, brighter Dash leds too. Mine seem to have dulled over the short few months they've been in.

I put the chrome surrounds already. Mate, you'll love the new look with the chrome surrounds. Adds a certain sparkle to the somewhat plain white backing.

The white converted switches again you'll love how they really freshen up the whole interior. I've completed my switches upgrade and love it at the moment!

Mate...

My Dash LED's are still fine 20 months later, but I want brighter, now that technology has progressed...
I want the Chrome Surrounds to add more bling, and I'd also like some Red Needles for the dials...
The Interior Switches will be done mainly in White, but some in Red... Still thinking about that...

More to come soon...

RECENT ACTIVITY...

Did some 'Basic Maintenance' today @ just over 181,000 Km

I topped up on some of the fluids today...

Oil Level was half way, on the dip stick
Coolant Header Tank was also half full
Power Steering Fluid was quite low

No sign of any leaks on the floor, but I shall monitor more frequently...

TEST DRIVE: The Ghost roars, as always!!! :dance:

ACTIVITY UPDATE:

I finally scored me some polished Bonnet Struts...

This week I'm hoping to:

1 - Replace the Air-Con Condenser
2 - Locate the Power Steering fluid leak
3 - Replace the Thermostat Extension Pipe
4 - Replace the faulty Headlight Adjust Motor
5 - Replace the Headlight and Front Foglight Bulbs

Now to get motivated, and commence the work tomorrow...

May try and do a group buy if more calibra drivers in Oz are interested for some.
That is if they send to Australia to start off with haha

Been looking for some of these for ages, and got lucky and had some sent over, by a Member on another Site...

The bonnet lifters easy makes the car look much more modern when opening the hood automatically rather than using the old school lifter rod.
Been thinking about getting a set for ages. Great results for such little effort I'd say!

Like with anything new, you're always unsure what to expect, but they're certainly worth it...
