    Default My VR, what do you think??

    Here is a couple of pics of my VR. The first one is of what it looked like two weeks ago and the rest were taken the day I put this post up.
    I was going to sell it and get a ss but my fiance and myself decided that it has been too good to us so we are giving a new lease on life.

    We took the 16s off and got a set of 17" chromies, got some of those clear indicators and got the rear springs to sit level with the front.
    Some time over the next month it will inherit a respray and one of those chrome vs bonnet emblems.

    So far the mods are, 2 1/2" cat back exhaust, cold air intake, super 4 plugs with champion red leads, performance chip, polished and filed throttle body, removed bell mouth.
    There is plans of extractors to come and a k@n filter.
    Going to keep her reasonably basic, after all it is the family car.

    Thanks. We would like to paint it black but we probably go with a blow over in the same colour, It my favourite factory colour anyway.

    Keep a good supply of tyre black to keep those chromies looking up to scratch

    Looks good though, not a fan of the wheels but that's just me.

    Yeah the wheels were better before I think...Small chromies look horrible, especially in styles like that in my opinion... Too much tyre as well cause the rims are small (for chromes).

    Nice VR though other than that mate.

    Thanks for the oppinions guys. I was going to go bigger with the rims but for some reason I fell in love with those ones. Lower profile would be good but Im happy anyway. Just wanted to know what other people thought. Cheers.

    Thankfully I havent managed to get the respray done yet. Was at a mates place for a bbq last night when a hail storm hit. Near golf ball size hail stones pounded the roof, bonnet and boot. I havent been game to have a close look yet but it didnt look verry pretty when I had a quick glance last night

    Ive gotto look into the insurance side of things but I dont think that its covered for hail.

    I will try to get some pics up, I am not 100% sure if itll be that noticable in a pic.

    The springs are suppose to be super lows, but I am sure that it sit lower than a few that Ive seen with super lows.
