Was considering trading my 2 Year old Holden Calais V in on a new top of the range 10th generation Honda Civic but decided it wasn't worth almost 10K to swap.

So I spent A$78 (trade price  :goodjob: ) to upgrade the badging to the new Series 2 variety... My wheels are better than the series 2 wheels (in my opinion) so I've got the best of both worlds!  :happydance:

After



My wheels



VF2  Wheels (not as up market in my opinion)

Did you do it yourself, Dazz, or get it done?
The badging looks a lot better.
I often think that it's better to spend whatever you need to spend to upgrade your current car rather than change cars and when I do the state government stamp duty sums, it's not hard to decide.   :)

I did it myself. The spoiler too. The spoiler was A $85 delivered off ebay and I even sprayed and fitted it myself. The paint cost about $30 mixed to suit in a spray can. :goodjob:

What a great "upgrade", Dazz.  It looks much better IMO.  I do like your wheels over the new ones too.
