i love every colour the same, even when it was a wreck was sooooo much fun then to keep up with pretty fast cars and look as mess, arden blue looks lovely would have been beta with gsi bumper on then also!
with it white tho and when it clean looks super fresh:-)

his van was stunning
his wheels were nicer, to be fair i have never even bought set of wheels for van they just came off the astra sri i broke for parts for van, and kind of just stuck with them, not really my choice but they are ok!

dont really wanna spend money on it really, dont drive it that much cos its worse on fuel than vx! should sell cos its not ideal having 290hp vx220, 2 seater!!! and 280hp astra van, currently 1 seater!
both about 20-25 to gallon! but i love the vx, and van has sentimental value cos was last thing dad saw and helped me make before passing away! so cant sell it!
i do actually miss having slow cars, so relazing to drive mums fiesta when i have it, lol

i wondered about smoking rear lights but was not sure!
at one point i was gonna go all euro on it, make metal arches and get some wide split rims, smooth roof rails and side strips and all the lines i could but then i chose againt it!
still like idea of making it into pick up!

nice, i'd have loved to put a fast engine in mine.
I'd go for the OPC rear though like i had, i think the back looks a little plain & high off the ground as it is.
