thanx matey :y: the car came colour coaded as standard off production line they made a few colour coaded ones from standard, i had the front spliter colour coaded tho as i didn't like it black. as for wheels im thinking a set of bbs wheel in silver or maybe a blue or red center like below......

(kinda nicked lee's idea lol)

I think blue bbs would look really good mate. It is copying lee a little but its a shame he unfortunatley didnt manage to get the wheels on before the accident. They would have looked ace but no one will hate ya for usinghis idea.

Not sure your car could have come off the production line colour coded somehow, it was prob painted before you bought it. Correct me if im wrong but im sure all vtr/s came with black bump strips.

lol i am copying lee abit lol but his car is such an insparation too alot of people. thats my excuse anyway lol :P

all vt saxos did come with black rub strips but they made a few later model silver mk2's colour coded thats why the is alot of coded silver ones around but like i say the spliter and old original grill were still black. im about 95% sure im rite lol i had to have my car compleatly resprayed anyway as when i 1st got it some cunts keyed it on every panel :( but im kinda glad now they did as the paint work is imaculate apart from front spliter needs touching up for obvious reasons lol :y:
