My VTR - Saxperience

bbower · 17th July 2010, 21:12

I have recently bought a VTR and just managed to finish paying off the insurance so now going to start doing some mods on it.

Current plans are to remove the alloys that are on and replace with standard wheels painted black, lower it 40-60mm all round, de-wiper the boot, add a twin pipe exhaust and get some standard lights and smoke them maybe.

bbower · 17th July 2010, 21:42

Just been and bought these black vtr wheels i think they look good, took a couple of photos of before and after, the only problem i can see is there is a bigger gap in arches but i am going to lower it so hopefully fill that in a bit anyway, let me know what you guys think please,

t b h i prefer the others but its your car mate

bbower · 19th July 2010, 21:48

the others look quite nice but im going for a black blue thing through the car as im not keen on much silver/chrome, so decided black was for me, and the others were shredding my arches due to the size

they are for sale though if right money is offered

Took the Lexus lights off today as managed to get some standard ones for now, so i think the car is looking better for that

Also gave it a wash and a polish up and its now lovely and shiny

before

after

Next job- service at the garage on thursday, then when its passed its MOT de-wiper it and smoke the rear lights and look into smoking the fronts.

also the scratches on the second pic are bad and i dont know how to get rid of them, any ideas, i cant afford a full respray and the car has scratches all over there the worst area though

just de-wipered the boot and i think it looks good, any opinions welcomed and on what to do next, looking for budget mods at the minute

saxomad197 · 7th August 2010, 23:27

look lot better with vtr alloys fox look bit dated if you dont mind me saying

bbower · 8th August 2010, 18:03

yeh i really like the vtr ones, especially in black, and the fox are sat on drive as a spare set at the minute, never know when some are needed. also intend to go for a black blue theme so the black wheels are a start. any opinions on what i should do next?

cheers

had a busy few days this week on the progress front, did a 3 hour drive to wales to fetch some gti seats and am currently mid way through installing them, the rears and rear doorcards are in with speaker grill painted (opinions please).

Then today been down to London area for a new bonnet which is meshed and de-badged and a lot less damaged than the one i had one, opinions on this as well please

Have also done a trial bit of painting on my spare centre bit, its not brilll but i now know what to do to do it properly so should be good

coming along nicely mate

Smoke those headlights and front tyres!

bbower · 18th August 2010, 13:05

yeh want to smoke the lights, or look for some new bits for the angel eyes, finished doing the blue today and fitted that wing mirror as well, thanks for all the bits mate, great help

would lowering it be good? and should i do it before fitting an aftermarket exhaust?

cheers

diidsax · 18th August 2010, 13:17

yeah, lower it befor exhaust, will look good if u slam it

bbower · 18th August 2010, 13:23

was only thinking about doing 50 at the front? and then levelling the back with that?

but i do quite like exhausts as they make a nice noise aswell as looking good

saxokid100 · 18th August 2010, 22:12

do 50mm all round........

L_TGX · 20th August 2010, 11:08

50mm all round and have a nice raspy note to the exhaust, nothing too heavy.

Cheers

I quite like the blue and white theme...so maybe white vts wheels and rear badges?
