Danborambo's Posi blue MK1 VTR progress thread. - Saxperience

Danborambo · 22nd June 2009, 08:50

Right well heres my new thread, and before anyone says " you already have a thread " blah, That one was my 1.1 thread and it had quite abit of spam on it tbh.....

So anyway fresh start on a thread for the VTR now as i have big plans.
Got the car for 500 there way + My old car in PX
Car was pretty much standard when i got it, with 75k on the clock, The only mod the car had when i got it was a straight through exhaust.

Future plans

Lowered 45 mm
De wipered
Replace front bumper with VT* one
Full respray
Smoked rears and fronts
Going to try get myself a cream interior
Lots of engine mods to come at a later date
Debadged
Mesh grill
HOPEFULLY Euro wheels
VT* spoiler

What i have done to it as of this post -

Sprayed the VTR wheels black
Sprayed the rear badges black
Replaced one side wing mirror
Bought a 750 watt sub

I have stated above in my future plans about replacing the front bumper, but i'm just letting you know that at the moment it has a flatarch front bumper, i dont think it looks too out of place IMO, So if anyone has a posi blue front VT* bumper, Let me know!

No spam please, but just show some interest

Anyway onto the pictures -

This is what it looked like when i got hold of it.

Got straight onto the wheels, Got my friend off corsa forum to do them for me and they look quality i think

Added my FCS sticker

Shined her up

Couple of pics from FCS with JAM3Z

Aye, not one you see everyday hah will be changed soon anyway

Oh dear.... Someones had ago at nicking my subwoofer

Luckily it was broke and was off somewhere being fixed, but to get in they have bent my door and just lifted the pin up, now i have a bent door

So annoying how people like this just slow progress down and cost you more money, will get pics up of door soon.

Just commented on that pic in "show best pic of your ride" thread
Said that pressed plates and a piper outward rolled exhaust would set it off a treat. Oh and get it lowered.

Bad luck about the door mate, de pin it ftw!

Danborambo · 23rd June 2009, 11:36

Looks like im going to have to de pin it, Going to have to save up for an alarm now though

Annoying that bastards like that cause such an inconvenience.

Thanks for the feedback though mate, i was thinking both them ideas tbh

Sorry to hear about the door fiasco mate. Hope you sort it out soon mayte.

Much better than the 1.1.

I've got a toad alarm fitted and removed and smoothed over my driver/passenger door locks - so it keeps the lil bastards at bay, also has a proximity sensor so scares them even before they get close

luke1988 · 15th September 2009, 20:58

looks like a really nice car you got yaself! looks strange with a flatarch bumper but reckon if you lower it it may look quite good lol

DeepDishSaxo · 17th September 2009, 20:52

slam it mate

Danborambo · 18th October 2009, 22:00

Got new plans for the car as i currently now have a job, so the project is going to get moving, i have had a photoshop done by my mate of what im going to be going for, also been lowered on it. Havn't added any of my mods on the photoshop like lights etc or grille but this is just an idea of where im going

Let me know what you think

(The top cut doesnt have the black going towards the bonnet, but you get the idea)

Anyone know what something like this would cost me? dont know much about resprays

J222JRA · 18th October 2009, 22:06

depends on how good you want it mate, you get what you pay for with paintwork imo.

i would say to have that done would cost £400 - 600 ish

Why did it have a non vt front bumper matey??

saxo-vsx · 18th October 2009, 22:07

sax2006 · 18th October 2009, 22:12

Came with the car, dont actually know why at all, but it has had no crashes, as i have the history of it, someone just must have bought the wrong one.
Its on my list of things to do, keep checking on here for any posi blue ones but everyone ive seen has been too far

saxo-vsx · 18th October 2009, 22:18

thats nice mate
