My VR Project - Work in Progress


Recommended Posts

Hi all!

Just thought I'd post some pics of my car for you guys to look at. I've put a couple of pics of it before it went to the bodyshop and then a couple of pics of the work in progress. I've owned this car for almost 2 years now (originally it was R&A's demo car) and have been meaning to get it sorted for a while!! Now its finally in the bodyshop and time seems to be goin VERY slowly!! The list of mods is rather long and icludes ALOT of smoothing and new paint!!

;)

I'll be postin some more pics when its complete (hopefully nxt week!!) and would like to get everyones opinion on how it looks. I'll keep you posted on the progress!

Thanks for the comment Pittuf! I know the car is probly not to everyones taste but when its finished should look VERY different!

Yeah the car didn't look too bad to start with but the mods it had were done I think in 1999 so i really wanted to bring it up to date. Plus there was a fracture across the paint where the door handle had been flushed and some bubbling around the aero filler cap and numerous other bits and pieces needed touchin up. Hopefully be able to show you the finished article next Wednesday - I hope anyway!!

I'll keep you updated with how its goin.

Thanks for all the comments guys! :)

VR6Rich- the wheels are actually Keskin MT1's 8x17 ET 30. Got them from German ebay (always a good place for parts!!) but they've gotta come off soon for the long old winter months!

Goin to see the car again on Saturday so I'll post some more pics then - should all be ready for paint by then!! :D

Thought I'd post a pic of the rear bumper after alot of smoothing!

I'll keep you all posted

if your getting rid of the rear splitter, or even blending it into the bumper that should clean it up a bit more, and you deffo need to put some chrome slats in that front bumper, euro style. he he. looks good though, i was planning a similar style when i bought my car, my taste has changed loads since then but can see where your going with it. well done.

Thanks VRMonster! Yeah, Im definitely gettin rid of that diffuser- bit too Max Power if you know what I mean!! The front bumper is actually being replaced as the one pictured was in a pretty bad state! As the car hasn't changed since R&A had it, its been a bit of a task trying to work out what to do to bring the car back up with the current trend and without breakin the bank of course!!

Really lovin your car VR - bet its shocked a few people on its travels!! Nice and understated and im sure it packs a punch!! Who did the engine work btw?
