Two-Tone VT Kit

[Pieface]

Well, after my attempt at getting a full Arctic Steel VT Kit, and finding it not easy, I am wondering what is a good, common colour that is subtle (Not like Mr Houston.) Like a Dark Silver/grey and was wondering what colour would go well?

[MrHouston]

Haha yeah mine certainly isn't subtle

I'd do it like the two tone's that come out the factory. Gunmetal grey, anthracite maybe? Custom colour?

[Pieface]

I don't want to paint it. Too much money for my pockets :P Got Uni to save up for.

[dobbo_1]

mercury grey (sp), or just do it silver to match yours?

[Pieface]

I can't get it painted! >.< I don't have £200-£300 spare. I just want to buy a ready painted kit.

[Anthony]

Maybe black? Silver and black two tone

[dobbo_1]

I can't get it painted! >.< I don't have £200-£300 spare. I just want to buy a ready painted kit.

you can get them in grey from the factory lol look at yates' or ads car

[Pieface]

How much would that cost?

[dobbo_1]

i dont know how much vt kits go for tbh never had to look for one

[dobbo_1]

your best bet it to settle for a more common colour because the ones you want are all rare just looked on ebay and there is nothing really mate if i was you ide just get one in silver and when you can get it painted or just wait till you can afford a real saxo :P

[MrHouston]

Standard colours then?

Gunmetal grey(rare)
Icelandic Blue(rare)
Silver (your best bet)

Cost around £200 +/- for a VT kit

[Pieface]

How would a black look in your opinion?

[dobbo_1]

shit but get photoshops done to see what you like

[MrHouston]

Black could look alright but not sure tbh, I didn't think blue would look good but it did in the end

Photoshop it

[Pieface]

Asked in photoshop now ;)

[dobbo_1]

Asked in photoshop now ;)

proud ov you got them wheels on yet?

[Pieface]

Not yet. Been Revising too much to get tyres for two of the wheels. Damn exams.

[jdizzy]

black would look good. :y:

[Pieface]

Just waiting for some kind person to do my photoshop, see if it would be worth it.

[Pieface]

Can't find anything on there...

[dobbo_1]

[Pieface]

Still can't find anything on that website.

[dobbo_1]

soz mate posted the wrong link updated

[MrHouston]

:o he has the same alloys as me

But yeah getting it that colour would be nice :)

[dobbo_1]

yer be hard to find though

[Pieface]

Would like that Colour, but as you said, hard to find =[

[dobbo_1]

think your going to find it hard to find a colour that will match why not just stay flat arch and be different? personaly i wouldnt put a vt kit on a 1.1 just going to get nobs trying to race you

[Pieface]

I don't like the Flat Arch lol. Think it looks plain, and theres like 7 in our school, so want something different.

[dobbo_1]

lol fair enuff ...but f you didnt like it why did you buy it lol? :S

[Pieface]

I don't pay for insurance ;)

Parents aren't paying more than a 1.1, they didn't want me to have that as it was still a high insurance group for their liking.

[stinkycheese]

honestly, just wait. i was in the same position as you a little while ago. i had a 1.0l that looked shit. just live with your car till you can afford a vt.

[Pieface]

Well, my plans are Uni at the end of this year and then that for 4 years, then after Uni I plan on moving to Vancouver, so I don't really want to buy a VT especially if Im not taking my car to Uni.

[dobbo_1]

why bother spending cash on it now?? just save for the uni piss ups mate

[Pieface]

I have enough money anyway, and Im carrying on with my own job a couple off times a month, Can probably make around £100 a weekend when I work which will be once or twice a month ;).

[dobbo_1]

fair play to you mate i just know if i was going and leaving my car i wouldnt spend anything on its as you will never get your cash back :(

[saxokid100]

Would like that Colour, but as you said, hard to find =[

Ive seen plenty of saxo"s with the vt-kits on in the local scrapys on the wirral!! you not looking hard enough bud............:fcuk::y::p

What colour do you want?? ive just sold full vt-kit in wickered red for £60.........:y::p

[Pieface]

I want either the two-tone grey on the VTS or Arctic Steel.

[dobbo_1]

I want either the two-tone grey on the VTS or Arctic Steel.

spray it your self not hard mate just take your time on the prep or get some one to do it for you because you will never find a whole grey kit or a arctic steel one because only reason people will sell them is because they have been crashed and are spliting there car so your always going to miss a pannel unless you car realy lucky and pay silly amounts

[MrHouston]

I had to get my kit from 3 different cars lol

[dobbo_1]

yer man hard to find a specific colour as a whole
