No mine isnt CAW. If I ever pass you i'll give you a quick flash of the lights and you'll know me then. Sorry to Hi-jack your thread by the way!!!

Not what I would call a a nice looking car but hey each to their own, at least you're wasting you're money in better ways than some people do and if you like it that's the main thing.

It's more where you ask people. Ask at a cruise then everyone will love it. Ask on here and it won't go down well. Take an E30 M3 to a cruise, and everyone won't care, they'll say it's old, and slow. On here, everyone will love it.

There is no right or wrong, just a lot of variety in the wide tapestry of car culture, which is what makes it so interesting smile

p.s. I'd rather the E30. ta

Yeah i have noticed that.. Thats what modding and cars are all about though i guess would be boring if everyone had the same taste and same cars.

we have a By Loeb and its fun little car, If a bit short in the gearing.

Anyway I like the paint job and wheels but the blue lights are a mod in the wrong direction!

Blue headlights nono

Why did you re-spray it? What was wrong with the blue?

Is that not a lot of money you'll never, ever see again? confused
No different to the outrageouse depreciation seen on some of the supercars owned by people on this forum...not that anyone ever mentions it in those threads.

Personally..I'm not in to modified cars but I like this one. The kit is fitted well and the paint is not garish and looks to be a job well done. As long as the owner is happy with it thats all that matters!

The standard VTS is quite a nippy car is it not? I'd drive a stock one, in black with leather, quite happily as an every day car.

Not a massive fan of this but I appreciate the lack of a "Jap-style" bumper and a "drift wing."

Yeah they are quite nippy, not quite as fast as the saxo VTS, but im happy as this for a first car smile And that car you were driving was a code, limited edition they are, seats are starting to grow on me..

I second that for rather having the E30, but I wouldn't have it over my 944S2 though for some reason.

I was going to say I don't see the point in this modding stuff but I suppose I'm doing similar with mine for track use but I think my mods would be heading in a different sort of direction.

depends on your age and that of your peers..
I can see yound lads liking it but the more 'mature' guys prefering the original article.

Fair play for the amount of work gone into it though.

I'm a young lad and I don't really like it but I suppose I don't count as I seem to have a sort of mid life crisis car and listen to Radio 2 I'm older than my age I guess.

Very Interesting comments, thanks for all your views.. I can understand the car not appealling to the majority of people on here, but i like some criticism from time to time. Help me get some info on what i could do better to the car, for instance the halo lights are supposed to be white, just they came that colour need to change them and from the comments has prompted me to do so..

Anyway was payday yesterday and ordered 305x28 drilled and grooved discs to go with the brembos, also ordered some bembo stickers (heat resistant ones) cost £10 for stcikers (shocking) because i am painting them red. and also 20mm spacers for the front and rears..

Will get pictures up as soon as i get the car back from the bodyshop..

Thanks mate smile

Ok only a small update, I will be painting the calipers red tomorrow.

Also ordered a set of 8k HID's, because ive had 3 sets bulbs blow and that over £30 and not spending more money on them to just blow.

Also bought a new headunit Alpine w200Ri. And its the bo££ox, could have bought a cheaper headunit, but i got a good deal on this and wont lose much money when i go to sell it on smile







And a cheap and chearfull but well over due mod is some Bosch flat aerotwins




Just waiting on getting my car back now....

Those 20mm spacers your getting with the brake mods....PLEASE have a set of longer wheel studs fitted with them!!! Its dodgy as all hell if you dont...your going to end up with your wheel nuts only engaging on half a dozen threads.
