my gold 2001 VTR progress thread
 

Hey guys, I'm 19 and finally found a VTR.

2 weeks a go this was the first I looked at - bought her as it had done 79,000, 2 owners and big service history. Managed to get it for £1200. Originally that day I rang 9 Silver VTRs in the area, 8 of them were sold and the other one he wanted £2000.

Lower 30-40mm stiffer on coilover, get a standard air box but can't find any, tint front lights, tint rear windows, private number plate l90 vtr, or luukey or something like it..and team dynamics obs in black keeping black and gold theme or oz superleggars sprayed in black then last one smoked side rep and larger backbox oh and get rid of rear wiper :y:

oh and front and rear brake capliers painted purple think that is what i want to do lol.

Looks nice and clean matey

Nice looking car.

what backbox is that mate?

Standard VTR backbox? seen them on other VTRs.. I want to get a new backbox as that one is blowing and its too small anyway lol.

oh, i thought vtr ones were oval shaped...

like this (but sitting under the rear bumper my rubber had snapped lol

nice saxo mate glad to see another gold saxo :D if you want any ideas check out my progress thread :y:

Oh I always thought that the oval shaped ones were the vts ones...does anyone know definately which is which?

cheers mate and yeah i remember looking through your thread before at your vtr. like the debadged grill because its gold and back lights. lush stuff looool :y:

Runs so much better now on the standard airbox. saving up for a panel filter

got my saxp stickers through the post



finally got round to meshing my grill. only had silver mesh in my shed that i nicked from a mates shed so had to spray it black



and finally got rid of the green dust caps and swopped them for black ones

i'm stuck between mk1 lights or the smoked rear jewels? kind of leaning towards the mk1s now....
