so parted with £2,800 today for a anthricite 2.0 16v petrol (claimed 180bhp).

i had hoped to do a few little mods to the c4 but bugger me theres not a lot to offer for them is there lol

springs and a panel filter :panic:

any other c4 owners on here? :geek:

[Jamie]

No but I believe we are running the same engine (EW10J4S ):y:

About 160-180 BHP

[sexy_gt]

what car do you have that in? :)

[Jamie]

206 GTi180 mate :)

My old one, although my new ones the same. first image on google lol

They wheels are horrid lol

[Nates-VTR]

I like these, except the back, reminds me of a Prius

[dondan]

Nice enough ride, a lot of car for the money anyway. I'd have those VTS badges off the side, even though they are stock they look wrong and halfords esque.

[m4tt274]

i have one! your right mate, there is sod all to buy for them other tham oem parts. we get spoilt with our saxos, years of companys making go faster bits for them means you can pretty much have anything off the shelf.

i have the VTS hdi diesel il add, pretty gutless but does drive smoothly and nice! at £2800 what is the milage?

[sexy_gt]

milage is 89,000 was previously a reps car so mostly motorway miles :)

service history right up to now! lots of it too.

yeah wheels are a touch shite.

got to tax it this morning and put some miles on it :)

yeah apart from those its quite a sleeper, not that its all that fast lol

if removed do they leave holes like on the saxo boot or are they sticky foam underneath? they do look out of place.

[craig180]

I actually prefer the 5 door hatch but nice enough cars and pretty cheap nowadays

We used to have a 55 plate 5 door which was a decent run about.

Have you managed to get the rev counter to change colour yet? ;)

[craig180]

Badges are just stuck on btw. I debadged mine

Take it to the rev limiter and you'll see what I mean

[Brettles1986]

I quite like these tbh, seen a few red ones around and they look really nice. Only thing is with yours is the wheels don't do it for me but other than that looks like a tidy motor.

[sexy_gt]

agree wheels are shite :)

[Prickle]

Not that keen on these :/

Cant decide whats worse. The alloys or spoiler randomly poking out.

[Aly]

Really can't complain for the price you paid just change them wheels lol

[Prickle]

I dont know man :(

Get some better pics up!

[sexy_gt]

haha will do, chasing some lowering springs at the mo...

[Manu]

Really nice car, how is it like to drive then?

[jasonmayall]

Love the look of these, great colour!
again though, The wheels arent to my taste, but they're easily swapped :)

any big plans for it?

[mtpagey]

My dad has the VTR Loeb edition in black with the black wheels and its certainly grown on me from when i first saw them on the road. My god though the doors seem massive length-wise! Maybe just me being used to 'hatches' all these years.

I do like the split dash and the steering wheel with the solid centre is pretty cool :)

[Mr_X]

Quite like the C4

[Lewis]

Always liked these after the WRC ones :y:

[iVTR]

Is it quick though? 0-60 ? Whats it like to drive!

[sexy_gt]

I dont know man :(

Get some better pics up!

now its lowered 40mm

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v212/sexy_gt/cv%20vts/2012-07-21133226.jpg

to drive its decent, very comfy, smooth and quiet. power from the 2.0 is good. not as responsive as a stock vts but a decat, ind kit and possibly a remap may be on the cards.

and wheels lol

not sure if i should buy some new 1.2 TD rims and keep my tyres or up it to 18".

[daz_zz_er]

I had one, not long got rid of it actually :) Was a lovely car and I love the looks/Styling. Just a shame about the problems with it, 'air pollution faulty' being one of them!

[sexy_gt]

Care to explain? :)

[saxplee]

WHY!!!!!

[Prickle]

Sits much nicer!

[Jazz]

Not a fan at all :(

However I do hear they ride very well, so I'd imagine its a pleasant enough daily.

[hard_corejoeboy]

Word of advice...never mod a daily as it then becomes 'not a daily'

[welshpug]

dont go 18", 16" would be better.

I was trying to work out why you thought it wasn't as responsive as a Saxo then realised the engines carrying 33 stone more than it is in my car!

Looks much better now it's lowered! Keep up the progress! Defo get shot of them wheels lol

[Prickle]

What size are the brakes on the c4?

[sexy_gt]

302 i think...

[craig180]

Never mind the suspension and brakes...... have you managed to turn the rev counter red yet???!!!

[sexy_gt]

Haha no mate i have a different dash to the one you mean.

[craig180]

Haha no mate i have a different dash to the one you mean.

Thought they were all the same rev counters over the wheel???

Does yours not flash red when you bounce it off the limiter??

[jonathon5]

I like the wheels , should be a bit of fun

I think its a good every day car that can shift when needed, i would leave it as is and enjoy it.

I have just got a new toy delivered, so am busy with that

[sexy_gt]

Nice one.john any clues what it is? Ordered a k&n typhoon yesterday.
