Default New look for my car

Still got half an engine, so not going at the moment anyway, but as I couldnt progress with that (needs a new valve seat and cant get it to engienering shop to do it till in the week) I fitted the decal set today:






Doesnt look as daft as I thought it would, lol

Mainly toyota and lexus at the moment as it happens ironically



Funny everyone saying how much they like the wheels, cause they are sold now and going, lol
(9*18" = good for looks, shit for handling)

@ Lee

The thing is, it ONLY looked nice before cause of the wheels, and 9*18" wheels on a calibra on track just isnt happening anyway, hence it will be out on standard 16" wheels on stickier tyres, which means it just doesnt look anything at all, and I wanted something that would help advertise the site I help run, which a standard looking calibra going round a track wouldnt really do, lol

Made the car for what?

going round a track, or looking nice parked up?


You cant REALLY think it would handle better on 9"*18" wide wheels surely?
