   my VTR is still bog standard and was wondering if anyone had any ideas what i should do to up the looks of the car.
   
   I was considering making it a sleeper but after reading Sophia_Bush' thread, Sleeper, yay or ghey? i'm not too sure now.
   
   its a 1998 white VTR - NO MODS AS OF YET.
   
   any help would be appreciated
   
   cheers guys

   get a full bodykit with a HUGE spoiler and 19" alloys, badboy bonnet, and a 5" jap style exhaust from halfords.
   
   on a serious note, lower it, de badge or t-cut the badges, remove rear wiper, VTS alloys, meshed front grille, colour code some parts?

   White VT's are hard to come by, so me I'd keep it very clean and original, and just lower it a little, thats all

   haha wheyyy badboy bonnet, maybe il buy a burberry cap and wear it at a 45 degree angle on the back of my head?
   
   but yeah on a serious note...
   
   sounds good, what you mean by t-cut the badges though? like take the silver off them? and colour code the interior parts such as the dashboard area etc. ?
   
   where abouts can i get meshed frton grills cause i been looking but cant find any decent ones?
