Nixinoo's Vtr =) xx - Saxperience

nixinoo · 9th January 2011, 18:50

Hey Peeps,

I brought my x reg vtr couple of months back afta havin my fiesta wrote off as some silly cow pulled out and cut accross my lane

so managed find my vtr on ebay for £680. The guy i brought it off advised me that he had recently changed the clutch, and had had the rear axel changed.

After a couple of weeks of driving noticed a whine, with a little help from people on here and after taking it to a garage it was the clutch and gearbox that both needed replacing. so over the xmas period the bf has been fitting them for me.

Right so more about the car...
it has been lowered btween 40-60mm but sits wonky on 1 side which is driving me mad but not had it sorted, and has a magnex back box.

So for some pix ....

Since having it the only thing i have done is sprayed my badges pink ...

I have got some ideas that i am thinking of doing just need to start saving =) any comments/ideas welcome, Thanks, Nicky xx

i think you need to get the back box moved so it sits right in the bumper

and also some new plates

Nice VTR

the exhaust is probably due to a worn rubber hanger, don't cost much and are a simple fix

Looks nice, now you've done the rear badges i'd carry on with the pink theme, maybe chevrons, mirror caps etc?

Black cars carry off bright colours alot better. As long as you do it all the same pink it shouldnt look tacky

Yeah the whole wheel might look OTT, maybe try pink rim tape first

Yeah thanks will look into that, well wanting my wheels black aswel so that will be first thing to be done.

Eskimo · 9th January 2011, 23:24

Just go for pink rim tape, and some new hangers for backbox and should sit better.

adamf0707 · 10th January 2011, 14:41

car looks good

maybe do the wheels black, and get some pink rim tape, that would look good i reckon

nixinoo · 10th January 2011, 21:22

Yeah, sounds good. Or might have the wheels black, and then think of a pattern i could have on them. but will get any ideas photo shopped first tho.

Anyone else got any ideas/comments?

Thanks, x

De-wiper, shorter aerial & black headlights

nixinoo · 10th January 2011, 21:40

Lights are on the list to be done, just thinking what it would look like to spray them pink instead black. hmmmm

shannon-ob · 10th January 2011, 21:47

Looks great i like the pink badges, should defo go with the pink theme some more...

nixinoo · 10th January 2011, 21:52

well the grill will be getting done and trying get hold of black side badges with vtr in pink, and then Trackday Addict suggest the mirror caps which i hadnt thought of doing. got quite few bits i am wanting to do.

nicole_ · 10th January 2011, 22:10

i think all black with tiny tiny pink bits would look lush
so black badges at the back with a pink edge around them, things like that,

tiny little bits of pink or i think itll be tacky

nixinoo · 10th January 2011, 22:18

lol... bit too late now, if i think it looks too much in future will think bout changing them then. but nice idea
