cheers mate, ha 2 days before christmas eve last month, me and my mate were in his furio and we wrote it off on the bridge near the Bridge Inn. Hit the barrier in three different places along the bridge (above a 15ft drop into a river) and sheered the front wheel,hub and shock off completely. no panel on the car was salvageable! both walked out with minor whiplash and chest lasserations (from the seatbelt). Car was demolished! as soon as i can find my bluetooth dongle i'll upload the video of the written off car and pictures :P

but yeh, it is a nice road for a photoshoot :)

D8N_LL 22nd January 2009 01:47

stunning car buddy, much better with the mods uve made

benJee_VTR 26th January 2009 21:03

UPDATE:

Right i have made a few small updates with the limited funds i currently have!
Have bought my mates posi westcoast which i am currently taking bits off. So far have swapped strut brace onto my VTR.

Sorry about poor pics, was dark and cba to fiddle with cam settings:




Also had a new clutch and gearbox fitted, but they knocked my VTR badge off the front grille :O so took it off and painted the R blue :)




Also was given some quad led 501 sidelight bulbs, which i have put in the interior.. does look nice, but have no pics as of yet.


Will be adding this rear diffuser and alloys from the westcoast within the next week so pics to follow:





This is what it looked like when he wrapped it round a lamp post:


was mint before he crashed it :(

Anyway more mods to come within the week :)

hi mate, thanks for the comment :) the new wheels are fox 15" multi spokes. You can see them on the westcoast above, but they look awfull on that pic lol. absolutely filthy. He spent 350 quid on tyres the week before, so that's the main reason im having them. :)

benJee_VTR 30th January 2009 20:43

new wheels are on, i think they are called Fox Evo's. 15" multi spokes. Hopefully get some pics up tomorrow..

benJee_VTR 2nd February 2009 19:30

Update: New wheels
 
New fox multispokes (i think they are called evos) with brand new Firestone tyres. Got some snowy pics too.
