Chapter 4

VT Kitted & Plenty of changes

The VT kit was obtained and sprayed. The Zest Yellow colour was too hard to get a perfect match, but no matter it was fitted



Some big changes on the rear:

Bought a custom backbox, i wanted something not too loud that would fit nicely within the VT kit recess

Also changed rear lights to these red LED ones, MK2 wiper arm fitted and some new numberplates



I fancied a change of headlights aswel, the Angel Eye ones hadnt been on the scene that long and were an obvious choice to freshen up he front end



Lastly on this long chapter the tme had arrived where lowering was now essential.

I did a bit of research into various suspension setups that were well priced.

I decided that keeping the standard shocks would be pointless, and not wanting to do the job by halves (especially with 78k miles on the clock on standard shocks) i may aswel change both things at once.

I went for a Koni adjustable setup that lowered about 35mm on the front on shocks and springs and also lowered the torsion bars by 40mm

It was a vast improvement over standard and the car was starting to feel much better to drive
