Default VL Commy chop.

Thought I would try the VL, because the non-calais models don't look too good, also this one was in crap condition to start with.

Had to get rid of the background because of the differences when chopped.

Original

New

It had all the "fully sick" bits you would expect to find on an RB30-powered VL.

Some of the crap on the original included bent window seals, door trim, the giant 'HOLDEN' sticker across the window, those Stupid Cheap Auto $2 reflectors, as well as a few scratches. The good bits on the car were the VZ rims.

It's been shaved, stretched, slammed, smoothed and painted. Reckon if they made a LWB version of the VL it would look something like this.
