I personally think the turbo rear spoiler is much more subtle than the Gp A.

It really suits the VL lines!

I used to have a HDT Calais turbo, the front spoiler is still in 5pcs in my m8s shed, waiting to be fixed. LOL

Looking good Sarsha.

Cheers, Col.

looks nice as it is with matching wheels, please dont put that ugly bonnet thing on, vl's look realy good as you have your car, with bottom half of the kit, no rear spoiler or bonett plastic. dont take it persenally, just think your car looks ace as it is. nice project by the way, congrats.
