Hi all,
im new to sax-p so just thought i should introduce myself and the car.
i bought this car back in september for £350 with 6 months tax and mot which i thought wasnt bad cause i only planned on using it for a run around. ive owned 8 cars within the first year and a half of driving and 6 of them have been french, you cant beat a good old frenchy ! (no write off's thankfully PHEEW!)

ive now decided to keep the vtr as its not let me down during the time ive had it so from yesterday she now has 12 months MOT and 6 months tax..

Modifications;
2 1/2" exhaust system with a 2" out rolled tip at the back
gti-6 cyclones in black (will need refurb and re-sprayed in st orange)
team heko wind deflectors

Future Modifications:
16v conversion,
205 gti speedlines not sure what colour though or vts wheels in white
read lowered 80mm front about 60mm (looking for a even look, not just ass end on the floor lol)
maybe a vtr spoiler.. not 100% sure though
Full respray in white with gloss black bump strips (£400 I would say that's a bargain ;))
106 leathers
106 mirrors
Gti6 big brake upgrade
Relocate front number plate and smooth previous number plate gap
De-wiper the rear

any comments and advice would be much appreciated !

Thanks for all the comments guys just thought I'd let you all know a very good friend of mine is taking out the 2 dents and Giving a full re-spray in white with gloss black trim. I'm also thinking about removing the vinyl from the doors and spraying the cyclones white? What do you think guys.. And all for £400

Comments will be much appreciated :)

I've avoided cleaning it for about 2 weeks as when I do it's back to square one again within about 2 hours :/ lol

Haha know what u mean, that's well cheap for all that work... I think a full respray is normally around £1000+ so u got a good deal! Hah

Picked up the 16v on Saturday
Decided to opt out for the leather as it would leave me without a penny and I only got paid yday :/ £170 is a bargain in my eyes, so while it's out the car I'm going to freshen it up an maybe a rebuild before I put it in.
