hey everyone, i own a vtr mk 1 in black.

so far its been lowered approx 40-50mm all round, has got a k&n 57i kit and last week i added a powerflow exhaust system.

am due to book the car in for my vtr wheels to be refurbished in either matt or gloss black, havent decided which yet.

anyways... what possible mods could i do next?

you could try smoking the head lights, fogs and indicators, t-cut the rear badges, lower it and maybe spray the alloys black. it will look sweet then

am gonna look into smoking headlights

what badges do you mean to t-cut and how?

its already low enough and the wheels are due to be booked in a 2 weeks to be done black!

to t cut the badges mate just get a normal bottle o t cut (i used t cut "SAFE CUT") and a cloth.obviously then put some o the t cut on the cloth or badges and start rubbing.it takes about 20 mins til rub all the chrome or silver off.

Ben_L · 26th July 2007, 20:23

maynard · 26th July 2007, 20:33

Ben_L · 26th July 2007, 20:36

you can buy them off the net and they are only cheap. here are mine...

Smoked Crystal Side repeaters:

Front Smoked Black Indicators and Smoked Headlights

oh and they are all fully emarked, and passed MOT too

And Ultra Smoked Rears and the t-cutted badges

OLLYVTS · 26th July 2007, 23:49

You should smoke you headlights and fogs.And get crystal side repeters i think they look better than smoked on black saxo's.What about a 206 arial if you have still got a standard one??Paint your brakes maybe??
