Must be honest, i'm not a fan of the modded look, but if you're happy with it then fine. I do quite like those wheels though... Although i still think it looks better standard without all of the bodykit on.

Looks very fresh for its age and I like those morettes they would look really smart on a white vectra touring. Does it go well?

not as well as you would expect for a 2.2 it has the z22se engine which is a lot like the old red top (c20xe) (150bhp) just a lot smoother
love the super tourings but you could only get them in a pre face lift which is a bit old for me

I'm surprised that no one else has noticed that the dog seems to be very excited about being featured on PH !

Basically "Traction Control" is a aid that can help prevent the loss of traction to the driven wheels, helping maintain the control of the vehicle, and "Climate Control" cunningly enough controls heating and cooling capacity within the vehicles cabin.

Neither T/C or C/C will make the vehicle go any faster, so no.

think it looks great from the outside, interior lets it down a little from my point of view

Headlights and wind deflectors don't look OEM to me.

as stated mate t/c is traction control c/c is cruise control (does pretty much what it says on the tin get up to speed press the button then car cruises at that speed with out touching any pedals)
thanks for the comments guys i knew not every body would like it but at the end of the day its a car i build to the way i wanted it if i did it to how others would like it that would be pointless

Good on you for posting a pic of your car, it is indeed very tidy..
Most people putting up pictures of their cars in General Gassing and Readers cars get a right sla@@ing off, unless it's a bit exotic, as is the way with PH newbie initiation.
If it's how you want it and you're happy that's what counts.



(I did actually guess what TC was.. wink .. and I'm pleased you have cruise control, not climate control, as we wouldn't any greenies getting upset by world domination of the weather system too)
