McPikie 3 Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 OK, so this was my old motor. Loved it, but it was getting a little rough around the edges, and the missus hated it. So, sold it on with the intent of purchasing a nice 4 door family car. That went out the window when a cheeky little saxo VTS came up for sale......... what a mistake that was. Had nothing but problems. So, managed to get rid of that last week after spotting this cheeky little number:-As you can see from the pics, its, been properly looked after.Its on 124k, has the highline rims and is in mint condition. Granted, there isnt much service history with it, but it drives well enough and there is a receipt for a HeadGasket replacement in February 2009.Everything works as it should and its brilliant to be in a VR again.Plans are to lower it (maybe just 60mm on springs, as the missus would murder me for coilovers), put a deep front splitter on it, and maybe pain the wheels black. See where we go from there Link to post Share on other sites

McPikie 3 Posted October 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 So, managed to get it lowered and chuck my VR6 splitter onThinking of swapping the solitude for some standard VR BBS's that were on my old one though. Not sure? Link to post Share on other sites
jesterwalker69 0 Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 Already looks better mate with a few simple choice mods.As for the wheels i agree with the BBS cross spokes. Not really a fan of Solitudes personally Link to post Share on other sites
