Its pay day today and I have my driving test on Thursday so who knows maybe I can be driving my car myself by the weekend which I will be looking forward too showing it off around the town.

Some things I have been thinking about buying;-
Morette Or Angels Headlights?
Cluster Tail Lights
Blue or Black Saxo Mud Flaps?
More neons inside (for show)

I might be looking to change my VTS alloys to another type but im not too sure which will suit it best?

krissy_vtr · 21st February 2012, 17:07

keep the vts alloys mate, nice n oem but if lookin for a change go for diff colour or a fresh refurb

joel666 · 21st February 2012, 17:25

hate replica's, looking ok though to be honest... only problem is you have ruined it with the huge chavvy "saxo" decals up the side. i really liked a blue vtr that had those on and i didnt buy it simply because of those stickers looks rediculous in my eyes

krissy_vtr · 21st February 2012, 19:08

why u hatin on the guy?for a 1st car its great.looks of vt without running costs of one.
graphics are also purely personal.i have been toying with some decals but only looks good if done n placed properly

GazWatson · 22nd February 2012, 11:38

I understand where you are coming from with the decals, if im honest when I put the 'Saxo' up the side I thought it looked good and then when I looked at it more I didn't like it but it does grow on you and I think if I add something else towards the back of the wheel arch it will look good. I am going with the Rally feel to the car once I get the mud flaps etc but I understand what your saying mate.

As for the VTS alloys im going to keep them but im unsure if I should change the colour or keep them as black? Thanks Krissy, I think it looks very good as well plus your right without the running cost indeed.

Love the colour coded back box

Looks a great car to start off with

Mrjayware · 22nd February 2012, 11:54

Looks nice for a first car!!
Looks like its got all the vtr/vts bumpers and that one (which i think look but than the 1.1 Bumpers)
Sub box looks like a killa! Does it even fit in the boot?
Whats the wattage?

GazWatson · 22nd February 2012, 12:00

Cheers lads, yeah the bodykit does look amazing and time has been spent putting them together which is great but I am missing the side skirting which will need replaced but its not a big problem for me just now. The sub just abouts fits in the boot but I might be getting a smaller one so I can still use the boot but i've not linked it up to the car yet as im waiting on buying the correct cables and a decent amp to power it but the music system will be last on my mind for the next couple of months.

If I end up spraying the wheels again im not too sure what colour would be best??
Going from black to white or even another bright colour so it stands out??

krissy_vtr · 22nd February 2012, 12:14

stick with fresh refurb in black,get them nice n shiney

takes bout 3days if u want it done properly but if u do,have the tyres taken off 1st.if u paint inside the band its less likely the will flake

krissy_vtr · 22nd February 2012, 12:17

also pm'd u bout the black headlights,if still interested let me know as goin on gumtree in mornin if ur goin diff route for lights

GazWatson · 22nd February 2012, 12:54

yeah I might do that and also get the inside painted like air vents etc, just need to time to buy the paints and make sure I get the correct ones lol

krissy_vtr · 22nd February 2012, 18:51

plastic primer on plastics, etch primer on bare metal and primer for pre-painted surfaces.
any paints for colour

Little Update:

Been thinking about how I can change the look of my car and make it stand out more so I was going to sell my VTS alloys but im thinking about spraying them white to really make them stand out. what you think?

Liking the look so far mate, I'm feeling to go down the rally/race look as well (been playing too much forza lately) think it looks propper nice and unique out on the road. Also white alloys would look peak on a posi.

Shall keep and eye on this might err borrow some ideas. Get a picture up of the decs so far?
