Another fruitful Calibra day today , 1st I went to Skidz in Falkirk to have new spigot rings fitted to the wheels & I have to say its totally transformed the car at speed , no more vibration so I'm real chuffed with that .
A wee trip over to my lock-up sees me relieve my Gsi ( sniff sniff :'-( ) of its amp & sub . Fits perfectly in the calibra & sounds great !






Praise the Lowered !

Hope its going to a few shows next year John?

[John Owens]

Sure will Craig , it's just a pity I didn't buy it a few months earlier or I'd've made them this year . Something to look forward to though


Praise the Lowered !

[calibre ray]

looking good john its coming along nicely.

[craigyboy]

Whats your next plans for the cally mate?

[John Owens]

A think ill just enjoy driving her for now Craig as that's her driving spot on . I may turn my attention to the exhaust though as I think it could do with upgrading .
So glad I bought this car now . Thanks guys for all your positive comments

Overall a really nice looking cally John the contrasting blacks, white & yellow calipers is tastefully done. Keep up the good work mate.

[SAMARAI]

Really liking your work man. I remember the first thing I did to my cali was paint the calipers too
I really like the lowered look man its perfect. Just like Eddey said white handles will really modernise your car and give it a whole new look. I did mine about a month ago.. makes it look like a whole new car. The stock black handles stand out a little against the white.
Anyways man great job so far! and you have the best colour calibra like mine.. white <3

Top work and a fine example, looking forward to seeing this in the flesh

I've always loved these decals on white Opels but at the same time I like the virginal innocence of plain white ...... Hmmm , decisions decisions lol .
Opinions please . Anyone else on the site done this ? Don't want to be a copy cat


Praise the Lowered !

Nooooooooooooooooo keep it white.

Hi John,
Painting the door handles in white would look great.

Visualising the options, I personnal like the second decal style, it has more of a contrast to the white paint work of your cally, although I think you might need to paint the bump strips white to pull it off.

Or what about the door decals from the DTM calibra?

Or what about the door decals from the DTM calibra?

Painting the bump strips too ? Hmmm now there's another good option to consider . Thanks for your input BMJ , appreciated As for the DTM chips , i like them but I think they're too big for standardish road cars
