It's done a fair few k's (over 150 000) but it is a one owner vehicle with full service history and hasn't been modified in any way (yet!). It doesn't look like much at the moment but hopefully that will change with a different front bar, rims and lowered.

Just did my first mod to this car.... alloy faced pedals. A small mod i know but its only the beginning. Took me about 2 mins to do the clutch and brake pedal... a lot longer to do the accelerator, damn roll pins they are my enemy. I ended up just yanking the old pedal off (its still 100% intact) and hammering it out then using a split pin to put the new pedal on. Pics up tomorrow maybe.

Yeah it was owned by a Bosch rep so they are mostly country K's driving from dealer to dealer... i picked it up for the right price too $16200 so I'm pretty stoked with it. :dance:

Yeah i live in the country so black wasn't my first choice. One of my mates has a black VYII S pack and the only time i've seen it clean is when he pulled out of the carwash.... :whistling
