  1. Apart from lots of polishing (almost 15 hours in the wheels alone!) the only real changes for the show was a reduction in ride height, the red stripe round the grill was changed to a more subtle silver stripe and the rear numberplate was tinted with some laminex for the show. I think its the lowest its been+ I really like how it looks+ sits at the moment. General consensus was that the Vento looked like a factory special edition and I got lots of positive comments from people, I was very happy with the Vento at this stage and apart from the yellow lights there wasn`t anything I wanted to
  2. I was approached by the chairman of DC, deutchconnection were again having a Scottish show at the Vw garage but this time they were filling the showroom with cars they had handpicked from other clubs+ groups. He said they wanted the Vento inside the showroom and would I be happy to do so? I was mega chuffed to even be considered let alone picked so I said yes. I was a little concerned that the vento would look out of place in there but other club members + friends etc said it would look cool in there. Heres some of the pictures from DC11.5 Yesterday in Verve showroom

  8. In October I managed to split my sump so it was time for a new one, as it was the cars first failure and in some respects it was my doing I wasn`t too bothered. I sornd it at the end of November. I fitted a few little bits like the original indicators in the wings+ a rear door handle onto the passenger front door.I had at some point put a red stipe round the grill. some winter pics!
  9. Cheers, the paintwork cost me £1600 but I stripped the car down for them + had to buy a rear bumper for plastic welding and another bootlid to save welding up the spoiler holes.

  15. August 2010 Over the course of the summer it was used for family trips down south and apart from its service it ran faultlessly + not much else been happening apart from a slight reduction in height+ the wheels getting refurbed by Darren (my brother). I had decided to get the wheels redone to my taste as I wasn`t keen on the gold bolts as they were... the bolts had been gold plated just before I bought them and they weren`t my cup of tea so they got the heave-ho the nuts + bolts were stripped polished + re- chromed the lips were re-polished to make them shine again 7 and 8x16 compomotiv
