That sounds good - apart from the ultras in the rear. It will sit like just about every VL in the country - rear end down, nose up. But it's your car, so go for it. I would either go SSL in the rear with the SL fronts, or SSL in the front with the ultras in the rear.

Id just stick with SSL's Not Ultras , unless you like a Scraping noise ..

With the Badges .. mm .. if your REALLY keen to remove them , pay for them to be filled and painted , hence it not being a halfassed job .

once you debadge it, use Eucalyptus oil, not much from woolworths and just a bit of it on a rag and rub, it will go away before your eyes also good for peeling off stickers etc

the BEST stuff to use that won't damage your paint is turtle wax, bug and tar remover. I used it on my BA and you can't even tell they were there.
