looking good gav
you can get the full effect of the gold when at a further distance.
as for induction, suspension kits, etc...
i got my bmc induction kit for around £150. yours would be a little cheaper because you have a vtr. speak to john (2modified) and get a quote.
as for suspension, did you mean somebody would lower the car for £140 or is that price including the lowering springs? as you know, john is doing a deal on spax psx suspension kits. you can get a 60mm kit for around £200 and then pay around £120 to have it lowered. if you are only going down 40mm, then you will be able to pick up some springs for around £50. again, speak to john for a deal on these.
but as for speakers, etc... you can't drive a car without some tunes. component speakers are cheap as chips. a decent headunit would set you back around £175/£200. you obviously pay for what you get so if you see a headunit you like and its a little pricey, then save the extra cash. it would be worth it in the long run.
