dusty_mauve 0 Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 Was just a thought, if you were sending it back I'd have put it on retention, not to worry...Any updates with the car? Link to post Share on other sites
MattBVR6 0 Posted April 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 Hi All,Just thought i'd update you with some changes to my VR.When i 1st brought this a year or so ago i was told "why build what you can buy" by some folk on here and other forums as the car was originally a GTI, but i'm really glad i carried on and now have the car I want. I really dont care that it was a GTI, in fact that makes it more special to me.Anyway, heres a few pics of how it is now. Hope some of you like it!!Matt Link to post Share on other sites
H19LNE 0 Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 Looks gr8. What rims u got on it? The door mirrors are not my cup of tea but if u like dem then why not. Link to post Share on other sites
MattBVR6 0 Posted April 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 they are Merc rims. 8 1/2 x 17. fully polished. Had them fr a while but had to have some major arch work done to fit them.I think it looks really good now!! I know what you mean about the mirrors but i thought i'd give them a try as they retail at nearly £200 and i had a bargain! I'll see if they grow on me! Link to post Share on other sites

MattBVR6 0 Posted February 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 WELL......A bit of an update!!I sold my mauve VR to a really good friend of mine "BOBVEEDUB" on here as i was racking up the miles on it, and you all know what its like when you spend all your time and money on something then see it looking worse and worse every day, so i thought it needed to be looked after, and i couldnt justify keeping it as a second car.anyway, to cut a long story short another friend of mine "TOMPO" on here was selling his VR as he'd bought a new TypeR, so as it had a lot less miles and was more practical than mine (wheels that could be used all year etc) i decided to buy his off him.I bet most of you will have seen it on here but anyway, this is how it is now. I have plans for it but i'm hoping to resist making it undrivable and just enjoy it. might lower it a little more and thinking of maybe charging in and a bit of a retrim!! I'm changing the mirrors/handles etc possibly deleting the side repeters and possible losing the plastic sills and having the metal sills smoothed. I swapped the recaros and the ICE over from the mauve one.anyhow pics: Link to post Share on other sites
