Right, well ive been on saxp for a few months now n thought it'd be a good idea to post up a thread. Picked up a Y reg 2 tone vts, 50,000 miles, few mods (16's , magnex cat back, Piperx induction, lowered on gmax springs and gmax rear dampers) on the isle of wight. Paid the excessive insurance (£1500 full comp) and then started modifying straight away.
this is what it looked like first off:

Within the first couple of days, i'd dewipered the rear, blacked the rear badges, and fitted all my existin ice into it and given it a full service inc cam belt. Then i started researchin around on here as to what mods i thought looked good and what would improve it.
So within a couple of months, id also debadged the front grill, done the blue led dials, fire extinguisher and got some saxp stickers.

I then decided to save up a fair chunk of money so i could do various mods all in one hit so in january fitted all the parts i'd saved up and these were, black angel eyes, meshed foglights, smoked rear jewel lights, richbrook gearknob, gaitor, gaitor surround and tulips, french plates, smoked side repeaters, omp strut brace, sfs yellow induction hose, carbon fibre forced air induction, colour coded interior, depinned doors.

Then last month, as i had 16's with 50 profile tyres, i decided to downsize to some 15's with 45 profile tyres. my cousin had some goin cheap so i ditched my 16's and purchased his. i also decided to change the colour theme around my car to silver, grey and yellow. with that in mind, i bought a piperx breather filter (sprayed it yellow) yellow sfs breather filter hose, sprayed my omp strut brace, sprayed a vts badge i aquired in grey and yellow and colour coded my calipers yellow aswell. Also had a magnex decat to fit, ge quickshift and some mintex front pads

Next was my ice. Already had a decent alpine headunit, but my old 12" sub just seemed crap along with my fusion front door speakers. so i ditched all that and got a 10" vibe sub, JBL GTO front and rear speakersand dynamatted the doors and boot. i had a 1 farad power cap kickin around aswell so wired that up.

Once that was all done, i gave it a good clean and took this pics so you can all see what my car looks like to date.

ive still got some parts too fit to my vts but just havent got round to it. there all spec r chrome goodies for under my bonnet which include, battery cover, coil pack cover, 2 x fuse box covers, brake fluid cover, cam cover, oil filler cap, 16v inlet cover and strut tops which should hopefully get done over the next week. Anyway all comments, good or bad, let me know

Cheers,
