[PastyVTR]

where did you find this bargain ?, autotrader/local...

[sam_16v]

Looks nice mate :y: got any plans for it?

[JakesVTS]

where did you find this bargain ?, autotrader/local...

It was advertised on Facebook swap and sell cars page :) he had it up for like £1000 when i first saw it which was like 3 weeks before i bought it, but apparently he had no interest so i offered him 500 and he said yesss, went back the next day to pick it up and pulled £460 cash out and he said yes :D drove away as fast as i could before he realised what a huge mistake he had made :P

[JakesVTS]

Looks nice mate :y: got any plans for it?

Not sure what im going to do yet! was thinking about keeping it standard and showing it, buttt its so tempting to do stuff to it :/... so probs will end up doing a bit :)

[GTuff]

Great buy!!!!

Now time to start running it :y:

[JakesVTS]

What you mean start running it? Lol

[Prickle]

Looks smart!

Please it keep it tidy..

[JakesVTS]

Yeah it's sweet! Only issue is there is a slight rust bubble on the roof! the photos are before I polished it to paint is even brighter now :D

[JakesVTS]

Styling suggestions? Thinking about getting some lenso Rs5's and painting them graphite grey including the dish!

[ForteChris]

should lower it then leave it mate , keep it standard ( apart from ride height )

[JakesVTS]

I was just thinking about putting coilovers on it and dropping the back 50mm with gaz gold shocks! Can't decide!

[JakesVTS]

Tbh I want a 106 gti as insurance is 25 a month less and I prefer the look of them :/ so I may keep this standard until I find a gti I like

[JakesVTS]

Anyone got any lowering springs?? or coilovers?

[PastyVTR]

Dont keep it standard, just dont go too far

[PastyVTR]

Small mods are the best: grill, lights, alloys....

[JakesVTS]

Need a full system!! Anyone?

[JakesVTS]

Got some new wheels :) not the best photo doesn't do them any justice! Got them firt cheap :) http://img21.imageshack.us/img21/4703/img2012072100012.jpg

[bobertmate]

looking good mate, keep it! 106 GTi's look too boxy :(

[JakesVTS]

Hoping to lower it soon got sOme 35 mm sPrings but I wanna go lower :/

[AaronSalter]

Good ol farmers always supply the goods

[JakesVTS]

Haha yeah true! No concept of money either :p

[DeanAngell1234]

Worse mistake you could make with this VTS..... Sell it and buy a 106..... They don't look as good in my opinion

[sam_16v]

106 dash is just horrid lol keep the Sax worth the extra insurance imo

[DeanAngell1234]

106 dash is just horrid lol keep the Sax worth the extra insurance imo

Yeah and the box shaped shell isn't to my taste!

[Boucler]

Looks good mate! I'm buying my posi blue VTS tomorrow so I'm browsing around for ideas.

[welshpug]

having driven around cornwall, I really would not lower it, but do put good damper on it, not GAZ.

[JakesVTS]
