So this is pretty much my car....









(last pic is with people in the back, my preffered height tbh)

Couple of inbetween pics:

Before and after lowering (standard height to 35mm/40mm)


(standard to 60mm/70mm)


Had a brand new scorpion 3.5' inward rolled backbox off a mates wrote off vtr, Also in 2nd pic bought some early mk1 lights for it before i tinted the originals





Didnt like the scorpion as its what absolutely everyones backbox looks like and sounds no louder to standard, so got a rudeboi peco
(and tinted the lights)



Also changed to white dials





Couldnt see the needles or numbers at night as it was quite a cheap kit, so went back to good old standard


Last pic of the silver calipers



When insurance/money flow gets better in a year or two, next plans
- hids
- fully smoothed boot
- widemouth bumper maybe?


Soo What does everyone think?

any pos/negative points? thanks

Just found this thread, really nice job! Picking up my silver mk1 VTR on saturday and I was looking for ideas for clean and tidy low-key mods. This is a really classy car!

Few questions:

1.1 doorcards? They look mint, which model exactly did you get them from, and can you get rear ones that are similar?

Did you get aftermarket lights or use a spray or something to tint the ones you had?

Cheers, hope to get mine looking that good!

[louis_23]

done all the rite mod's mate and it looks mint good work loving your rear lights aswell

[saxo_madd]

nice that mate looks really nice i really want gti leather

[sam-dud]

i think another thing you could do is t-cut the rear badges it makes them black only cost you £3.50 from asda, you just have to rub at the badges for a little while.

[philb121]

looks mint mate wat rear lights are they.

[Tom_Crx]

Looks nice dude (Y)

[saxomark]

Really nice car mate, and very clean, nice and subtle mods looking cool, Maybe dewiper the rear though, other then that it looks Very Good

so far youve done everything right ... apart from the fuel cap. but if you like it then thats all that matters

[saxokid100]

Nice saxo so far......

[LSOfreak]

its been a long time , i forgot i even made this.

thought i would have a go at removing the door pillar vynl becuase it looked cack and was peeling off. took about an hour per door to remove the glue. anyway i thought it would look good with nothing there but not sure now. looks like somethings missing, kinda liked it before, what dya think?





EDIT: decided to get it re vynled

[saxovtrstevie]

i would get it re vinyed mate

[LSOfreak]

getting it done tomoro, will get a pic up

[Peterrose1991]

[LSOfreak]

looks much better re vynled

[Claireeyy]

tbh i liked it with out the vynal

[LSOfreak]

lol dont say that

[benwh555]

I prefer them without the vynal, but at the end of the day its your car. Looks like you've done some good work though.

[LSOfreak]

[yetisvtr]
