Black Mk2 VTS Progress - Gone euro/clean - Trax'13 Pics Update 27/12
Right then, after 4ish years of having the red 1.1 flat arch i decided to upgrade to something with a bit more power.
Ive had her for about a month now, 2001 Y plate with only 61K on the clock which i thought was pretty good considering the age. Picked her up for £1500. Came white s rims and the front end had been lowered 50mm on apex kit with also apex shocks. Also a custom powerflow backbox with decat pipe. So the first thing i did was lower her at the rear 50mm, Shout out to KrisB for that, did a great job! Not the best pics but theyre only taken on my iphone3. Now there were a few minor problems that need to be sorted. One side says vtr but the previous owner painted the R yellow lol and the side with VTS on has a cracked bumper strip so i got 2 new door panel vt kit parts but they were posi blue! So ive started to spray them up citroen black and also the side bumper strips too. Heres a few pics: Also bought some dice dust caps lol (wheels could do with a respray i know! lol) got 2 black die and 2 white die So the plans are: (To be done before FCS) - Finish spraying up - Mesh grill - Green panel filter + service - Kam racing backbox - Supersprint centre section - Mega good going over and clean ready for FCS Thats about it for now! Eventually il go for a subtle/euro look but need to get it up together first :) |

Update: Gloss black spraying and pictures from meets
Right, after fitting panel filter, supersprint race pipe and kam racing backbox, i decided to move onto visual mods for now. - I sprayed my rear bumper gloss black in my mates garage - went alright, except for one area where i sprayed too much lacquer :( but hopefully it can be sorted. I also did the side bumper strips citroen black too - still need a new trim on drivers side because it has cracked :( and new vts badges These aren't the best pictures but they should be able to show how they look. These are a few from FCS: As you can see drivers side door still needs to be done. And now some pictures of how it stands at the moment from some recent meets: Oh yeah i meshed my grill too a while back too lol I like that last picture alot :p So now plans are: - Remove the rest of the masking crap left over on the rear bumper - Get a new front bumper as theres a big crack :( - wide mouth it and gloss black the bumper strip - Cams and remap - Possibly respray wheels white or black - Deep Dish Euro wheels - Upper Strut brace - Pressed plates - Possibly lower suspension more on coilovers Also having a play with the air intake at the moment so will update soon! Cheers for looking guys :) |
