Hi Guys,
Here is my VTS which i bought as per the photos 6 weeks ago. A nice example, been well looked after and had some mods done which is apparent.
However its not perfect, there is a small crack on the passenger side front bumper. and also that side the front skirt doesnt sit on the plastic underframe. I presume these are easy and cheapish to get fixed?
Also, there seems to be a slight loss of power under 4000rpm, but im told thats due to the induction kit? Will need to put the cat back on to get it through the MOT, but hey, you cant have everything i guess

Occassionally when i turn the wheel on full lock i hear what sounds like a rubbing/slight crunching under the car, but only on certain sorts of road?!

Bad days i think next time i'll buy a standard factory car as its not ideal and easy having a lowered one, then you feel it stick to the road and everythings ok!
Any suggestions how to improve this would be welcome. Josh recommended smoked rear lights, and blue trimmed carpets.
Cheers
