Nice..great interior. Have you thought about lowering?

[MadOnVaux!]

Thanks Matt and Lammy...

I can't lower it unfortunately as the front bumper would catch on my driveway.

Quick update with a couple of small jobs i've done...

New plug cover.....Remember i wanted rid of the Ecotec one, and bought a stainless plug cover, well i didnt think that fitted in on my engine bay so took it off (Now selling it) and managed to get a Red one off the C18XE engine...

Voila X20XEV 'Red-Top'







Brightens it up nicely i think


and as my Handbrake handle was getting abit ropey, i got hold of a cheap new Richbrook handle......really wanted a MOMO to match the gearknob, or Sparco 'Drift', but at £20 this was too good to turn down.....

Looks and feels pretty damn good i think





Thanks for looking

A little update...

I've just managed to pick a rear numberplate panel up reasonably cheaply (Considering what ive seen them go for)...and gave it a trial fit this afternoon....I'm still not 100% convinced about it, I kinda like the look with it fitted but it leaves quite a noticeable gap underneath it:

I took some pics before and after, what's people opinions on it:

Without:







And Fitted:







Opinions?

That looks good mate.I just got mine back from the paint shop yesterday.
Theres that many things you can do to them,where do you stop?

[MadOnVaux!]

Thanks Craig

Yeah i know there is a hell of a lot of things you can do with Calibras.

you mean like this

[MadOnVaux!]

The holes where the original numberplate lamps go looks awful on that!!

[Fraz]

yup thats why I took them off...but dont they all show the original number plate holes ....unless you fill them

cant really see from the angle of the above pictures

[MadOnVaux!]

I dont think mine shows the original holes, but then it's darker than yours so harder to see, but it does leave a fair gap between it and the bumper.


*Decided i dont like the rear panel, and it will be up for sale soon.
