Right then, little update. Picked up my wheels from being sprayed today. Big shout to Rob at Taylors in Kiddy. top bloke who has done all my body work for years and always helps me out. He refurbed, shot blasted and painted them in a custom pewter colour (quite close to Rover gunmetal) and transformed them from boring, damaged standard VTS wheels:


to this amazing state! (excuse poor quality pics)


and on the car:




very very happy with the result as ive never seen a white VTS with this colour wheels. opinions welcome

Little update. Had my Pioneer DVD unit fitted. Touch screen and all! very happy with it. Had the gay handbrake unit bypassed too so it can be viewed whenever which is cool. All done courtesy of Sergio at Technomend (www.technomend.co.uk) Heres a few pics:




Also got myself a brand new grill of th bay for a tenner. Gona think of some ideas to do with it. Atm im thinkin de-slatting the short slat, colour coding and spraying the badge same colour as the wheels. dont like mesh!!

Couple of pics here. Excuse the poor quality and filth but i like them.




Also ive painted my grill. Very happy with the result although the bonnet needs a good polish as its looking far too white at the mo! Im not sure on how it looks though. Any opinions are welcome within reason!




...and the car is playing me up atm. More suspension/steering problems. Feels a little uneasy and 'wobbly' round corners. I'm hoping thats just the tracking needing to be done though. Any advice on this too? Cheers lads.

Another update!! Got this baby off a mate of mine. Completely unused due to the fact he's now getting a corsa. £130. Bargain I'd say. Cant wait to get it on apparently theres some changes needed to get it to fit? Hopefully on before the WM dyno day!
