Lower 40/50mm
Refurb alloys (maybe change colour to anthracite/white/polished)

Let me know what you guys think.
cheers :)

Ben 30th July 2008 23:45

How about a little MK1 or MK2 spoiler to it? :P De wipered? Badges removed? 40mm is good man, mines down 40 perfect imo


benJee_VTR 30th July 2008 23:49

hmm yeah i like the sound of those ideas, i am fancying a spoiler like you said... i did consider de-badging the rear... how do you lose the holes without fillering and respraying? or are the holes not really noticeable?

Dewipering is a possibility...

Cheers bud

Predator_R32 30th July 2008 23:50

not sure on the two tone on it really, badge on the grill off, the rocker needs spraying and not painted with a brush lol

benJee_VTR 30th July 2008 23:50

Cherry foot air freshener ftw :P (2nd from last pic)

You would deffo need to get them filled and resprayed, otherwise you could just spray them a different colour, or tcut them black. But yeah the holes are noticeable so i wouldn't just pop them off. Cost me 70 quid to have it done. Yeah people keep tellin me to get mine dewipered, but i like my wiper, may get a MK2 one as they are better looking!

Yeah i painted it with a brush the first time with the light blue, then sanded and sprayed the second time dark blue... could have spent more time on it but im quite happy with it :)

I wasnt sure on the two tone, but it's grown on me and i love it now, was gonna get a respray, but its really different and looks lovely when its cleaned and waxed :)

Yeh same, my rear wiper is quite handy lol but mk2 ones are a lot more modern and clean looking... i might tcut or spray the badges temporarily as iv got other things to spend money on atm :)

benJee_VTR 31st July 2008 00:05

Before I bought the VTR alloys i got a few photoshops (cheers Saxokid) done to see what different alloys looked like with colour coded bodykit.




Then someone did this one for me lol

Aaron 31st July 2008 00:57

benJee_VTR 31st July 2008 18:01

Cheers buddy, they set the car off so much better. Now that i've got smaller wheels on, hopefully lowering soon :y:
