Specs-
1.6 16v VTS
62k Miles
Down 60mm F&R
Ashley Exhaust System
Various other bits
Black and Yellow theme!

Plans-
-Get some money first!
-While I'm doing that, gradually colour code interior panels yellow (I'll do that meself)
-Either get some GTI seats, or if I can get enough together I'll just trim the interior Black and Yellow leather/Suede
-Something I'd love to do, it take the engine out, and clear up the engine bay and paint that yellow too. Detail the engine ect.
-Teach myself Fibreglass so I can get a good 2 din entertainment system on the go.
-Enjoy it to the max + smoke the chavs who congregate by blockbuster every night.
-Bonnet Bra

Yeah!

It's exactly how I'd want a VTS to look if I got one. Good effort :y:

As above, dont get a bonnet bra. Tint your fog lights and it will look spot on!

Thanks for the kind words guys. Credit goes to the previous owner whose carried out all the work so far! (The only thing I've done is 'Install' a new magic tree air freshener, yellow of course ;)

Looks spot on that does

Pleaseee dont get a bonnet bra :homme:

The only reason I was thinking of getting one is to preserve my shiny black bonnet! I hate all the bug which keep flying in front of me when I'm driving!

Yep it does, they look the dogs bollocks don't they! If it wasn't for the jaw dropping cost of CF I'd run that as a theme throughout the car too, but wallet dictates no.

Bonnet bra's tend to damage the paint once they are on, plus all the road dust and stuff that gets under them, when you take them off it scores the paint.. really bad idea, just carry a box of baby whipes to get bugs off when your out and about!!

Cf is full of win :y: looks very nice

Bit of a pictureless update (Sigh) but I've finally managed to wire my triple vibe subs in.

Sadly, as I tried to exit work last night, tell tale grinding noise comes from the underside. Yep, too heavy. So, exit the beasty subs, these are now for sale I suppose. Will get pictures when I'm with the car later. I have a 12 inch spare which I'll chucked in this weekend.
