Im looking to get another car come the back end of next year so will be going more to standard then anyway. But im thinking i like the more clean unmodded way of the car now..

I would get some VTR alloys, raise the rear 10mm. Standard exhuast system, mk2 rear lights, standard front and rear badges, mk2 grill and silver mk2 angel lights. Only thing modded then is the lights and the ride height... What you recken?

18th December 2006, 13:41
mk 2 rear lights?

i wouldnt go smoked angels over the ones you already have mate, maybe silver vts wheels again? and the mk2's ;)

I reckon silver wheels aswell! I don't like the idea of black wheels at all at the moment. I don't think they do anything for a car. Just make it blend in more!

I liked the photshops you had done aswell, why not do some things like that?

I dont want to put too much money into it. I changed my mind about the debagding after thinking what happend if he screwed that paintjob up too. I loved the chops but its taking it even more away from the standard thing i want it to be around Aug/Sept this year.

Clouds_mate
18th December 2006, 13:57
btw my wheels aint black ;)

Danr
18th December 2006, 13:58
Slowely take it back to standard then, Have you still got your vtr wheels, if so get out there and switch them over. You never know, you may really like it as if im honest i really do prefer the car at the tops wheels to yours!

If you don't spend the money then you can put it towards a nicer car or something like that :)

Clouds_mate

No i dont have the standard wheels but Didz has some up for sale in good conidition that im tempted to buy.

You will need them if your gonna take it back to standard anyway. Try to get someone to photoshop it!

Or if you live near anyone who has some r wheels ask if you can just put 2 on for a tester! :)

18th December 2006, 14:07
wow thats my car, although i wouldnt change your car mate. One thing about your height though is im meant to be down about 80mm at the back and 55mm at the front so it wouldnt look any different.

18th December 2006, 14:25
I will have your wheels mate

18th December 2006, 14:34

Mystic
18th December 2006, 15:09
Dont lose your wheels leck, they make the car, raise it up a bit, once u have a bit of comfort back in the ride you will be content for a while!

Clouds_mate
18th December 2006, 15:12

Bri_vtr
18th December 2006, 15:23
I think u should leave it mate but if u sell ur wheels i will buy them :)

Mystic
18th December 2006, 15:26
I dont have any pics at work, ill see if i got some at home later n take a few more, mine still sits a little low though, iv been toying with the idea of some 30mm springs :panic:

silver vts rims leck

and mark 2 lights plus standard front lights and grille

then keep it clean as fuck

If your really looking to return to a more 'Sleeper' styled car then why not get the VTR wheels and keep as a winter set either way get some Phase2 Rears on then take it from there.

Maybe another suggestion is to paint the rear box black, I have always hated the way some rear boxes just look to big for the cars (Not the tailpipe but the silencer) mine is a Janspeed Mild Steel system and you can hardly see the silencer and I think that looks more 'Sleeper' or what about just changing the back box to a smaller oval design? ? ?

Think you might regret raising the car so why not do the cheapest options 1st :-)

Clouds_mate
18th December 2006, 16:48
I like your style JaybLiss. standard exhuast?

Clouds_mate

Clouds_mate
18th December 2006, 16:57

MK2 rears and standards lights, standard VTS wheels, standard grill and no stickers at all now.

ok so im ment to be swaping wheels tonight and cant find my locking nut key ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...

this ones cant get smashed off too without damamging the alloy, fuck fuck fuck

craig180
19th December 2006, 14:08
Smash a bit over the nut with a hammer ( should mould the nut enought for you to twist it! )

Gotta say, standard is the way forward. Arse end def needs lifting a bit!

I changed the missus' wheels over a few weeks ago and the standard vtr rims look so much better than the 16" super t's she had on there

Clouds_mate
19th December 2006, 14:27
All sorted now mate lol

saxyVTRsaxo
19th December 2006, 20:27
are you goin to put all the colours back to standard colours headlamps, fog lamps, badges etc...? also i would'nt alter your ride height, makes the car look quite fresh and moderen that low, well in my opinion it does. good luck with all the stuff you chose mate.

Looks awesome with standard colour wheels.

I think you should go back to standard exhaust.

Dan
20th December 2006, 00:18
Its up to you really dan, but I like it as it is to be honest. If your going to change your headlights get some quads.

With the exhaust you could put the standard back box on with the after market centre section so it still has a nice sound??

Johnno
20th December 2006, 12:08
how low is the back lekie??

Clouds_mate
20th December 2006, 12:26
We will see what happens Dan. Going to give it a big clean and prep it for winter on saturday.

Johnno, i replied to your PM
