Hey guys pretty random but the opportunity came up to swap my internationals for vs calais s2 (correct me if im wrong) with brand new tyres and with flappers with 400 my way:boxing: pretty decent deal if you ask me.

I couldnt wait to put them on so heres a few snaps wit them on.
the rims do need a touch up only scrathes threw clear coat nothing major and no curb rash.

What do you guys think?

 

[Risky]

Very tastefully done. All the VR/VS utes around where I live are knackered & only good for spares.

Thanks mate. yeah i hear that its not very often you see another clean vs down here in tassie

Few happy snaps with the new wheels and finally got the calais center piece in just gotta wire the sedan switches in which i have just gotta take them to somebody unless there is a easy way to do it?
hope you enjoy

Update

Hey guys, just a lil update on the old girl.
Spent some time in the mechanics gettin a freshen up, installed 1.98:1 ultra high ratio roller rockers, 100 cell i flow cat and twin 3" dump tip.
She sounds amazing, very angry 6. Im contemplating gettin a cam but unsure as in which one to go for, more so for sound wise.

Also brought some genuine 19" Vy Signatures with some nice new walls.
