Looks pretty sweet, nice colour imo.

[borrell]

Looking good, waiting to see the mesh in the front grille too

[benno145]

Nice car bud, but dude lose the neon on the parcel shelf.

[johnvtls1]

ah yes my favourite colour. nice car mate

[sxc_sound]

Thanks for the comments guys, iv only had her for just over a week now, but as you can see, iv gotten stuck into it pretty quick with the sound system, I am just waiting for some front grills to chuck some mesh in (as i dont want to destroy the original ones). And that neon on the back shelf adds a nice touch i rekon

[sxc_sound]

Well guys, well, il soon be coming into some cash so i am looking at getting a set of 18" chromies, and getting the tyres later..

So, basically just wanting some suggestions or pics of some wheels that might suit my car thanks in advance

[sxc_sound]

Ok, well updates people. I bought my second set of front vt grills, they have been gutted, sanded and primed ready for tomorrow to be painted chrome and mesh inserts put in.

I am also currently bidding on a vx garnish already painted in the colour of my car (dont go stealing it off me :P), then later down the track im gonna grab some black altezza tail lights when i have the $$

Also bought some underbody neons, (yeah probly rice) but it will look mad, havnt picked them up yet tho.

Thanks mate, well here are the pics of the grills, turned out very nice in my opinion, later down the track il probably sand them down a bit more and make them perfect. But they wayyyy better then stock grills

COST:

Mesh - autobarn $30 for a sheet, did grills and slot down the bottom with enoigh left for another set of grills, (could go halves with a mate)
Chrome paint - Bunnings, white king super chrome $20 (again halves with a mate)
Grills - kumbak $44, i also picked up a set for $15 off ebay

about 1 hour of cutting out the centres and sanding down, il do more sanding later

[666vt]

mannnnn, looks awesome, ive been wanting to do this for ages.

cheers for the pics

[666vt]

hey what did you stick it on with?

and do u reckon it'd be suitable for sticking the mesh on my bonnet too?

[sxc_sound]

the mesh bends really easily, so its moulded over the edges of the back of the grill and cillioned on around the edges, hot glue gun would work a treat too, would work on the bonnet to, id go with hot glue gun, so it dries clear

[nicko]

hey mate, get a berlina garnish for her. Will look much nicer at night

[Juztin]

got any new pictures you can put up, I got the same car and like some ideas on what to do to it ;]

[sxc_sound]

Here are some more pics for ya:

VTIGA2 - Page 1 - Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Theres some pics of the grills changed, gauge pod in the pillar, neon on the back shelf, feet light neons, sound reactive neon above headunit, neons in the sub box, leds in the ports of the box (sound reactive), underbody neons, changed dash badge to a chrome one, LED water jets, exhaust tip to fill up the cutout in the bumper.

Hope you get some ideas, some other things that are a good mod are altezza black headlights, altezza tail lights with vx rear garnish

[lumina01]

ricer lights and a calais garnish? nooooo
neons?

[Juztin]

Nice man nice, maybe some night time photos ;] haha

Show lumina01 that they make the car look sexy :P

[sxc_sound]

Heres some pics of it at night, enjoy, of course a little bit of neon bling makes your car stand out from the crowd

[Juztin]

Haha nice bro.

Once again thanks for pictures =P

I'll get my "fully sick" stock car up in a thread soon for you to suggest mods lol

[sxc_sound]

ha yeah, looking forward to seeing it

[Haydz]

grilles look awesome mate. just a tip with the wiring for the neon. couldnt you run it down where the baby seat bolt is. so there isnt just a wire running across.


neat car.. good luck with it.

[rch-13z]

very clean mate, mesh looks good... Gotta do the same to the lower part of my VX SS bar.... but paint the mesh black...

You forgot to black out the plates in the last photo

Also btw I've been told by several thousand people that an unboxed pod will suck louder but you'll loose power...

[sxc_sound]

thanks mate, and don't worry, those plates arnt on the car and i have decided to get a k&n panel filter instead, to make use of the stock cai. I will probably go buy one today
