looking good and clean there dan.

[dan-sport]

mate i've never cleaned a car so much haha

[dan-sport]

small update:

i've painted my front calipers from black to yellow, i wasn't 100% i wanted to do this as i didn't know how it would look but thought i could always change it back anyway, i just hoped it would brighten things up abit.

before:


after:



and with the wheel back on:



then one of the otherside:



i think its added just the right amount of colour to the car without going overboard.

its not perfect by any means, needs another good coat but ran out of it atm so gonna have to get some more.

[tingaling]

I like it mate

[dan-sport]

cheers mate i think it just helps brighten it all up abit.

next on the list:

paint rear calipers
touch up places on the front calipers
wind deflectors
white sidelights

i can't decide between 6000k hids or just buy some white headlight bulbs to help give it that fresh look for cheap

i really can't decide

[dan-sport]

i've added a list of my plans

[P311ATT]

Looks alot better with the yellow. What paint did u use for it?

[dan-sport]

I used hammerite mate

[dan-sport]

i wanted some hids but can't jusify £40 on bulbs atm but had heard good things about 100watt xenon bulbs so i got some only cost £5 and im very happy with them tbh gives the car a nice clean look.

50/50:



all done:

[vtcarl]

looks good there, looking for new bulbs for mine. where did you get them from??

[logic_guy]

If that's a VTR, how comes its got a passenger Air bag? I really thought it was only VTS's that had this?

Whats the little black button next to the Arm/ disarm switch of the air bag.

[dan-sport]

alright mate basically i fitted the airbag switch as i hate blanking plugs/plates so that got rid of the last one and the button is my cobra alarm diss-arm i have to press a code into it to turn the alarm off with out the fob present

[logic_guy]

Oh right.

So its a dummy switch basically?

I must say, i love the OEM 'head unit' LOL

[dan-sport]

Everything there apart from alarm, heated rear window and hazards is just there for show tbh mate. Ye i love my standard unit lol sounds decent especially with the sub wired in.

I've just ordered a usb interface for it. It just plugs into my cd changer port so now i dont have to keep changing cds all the time and i can have alot more selection.

heres the one i've ordered:

[dan-sport]

Ive bought a few things over the past few days one being some wind deflectors which ill post a pic of when they come, the other is some sand paper as the first owner of the car painted the bump strips so im going to have a go at re-doing the black on the front bumper as its been chipped away over the years.

Lastly i have always wanted to do it so i thought why not an got myself a clay bar kit

[dan-sport]

I got a parcel today and it had these inside



So i fitted them an took a few pics only on the drive though

[vtcarl]
