   Ive had my VTR (Mk 1) for 6 months now... Tried to modify it, but am on a REALLY tight budget..
   
   Heres what Ive got so far... ( Will try and get some photos on here soon )
   
   Black Rear Lexus Lights ( My VTR is Black, so I think they look nice )
   Mesh Grill ( Crap DIY attempt TBH, but looks OK from distance )
   Backbox ( Big, but doesnt sound all that... )
   Tinted Rear Windscreen ( Already done when I brought car )
   
   And thats it. What other mods can I get that are cheap and effective?? Id love to get it lowered, but cant afford that...
   
   Cheers

   Agree with this, Raceland with the green filter is £85 including VAT. Look awsome, perform good, sound better than standard. Overall a good kit for the money

    Standard is nice... but boring.
    
    Had a look at Raceland - looks and sounds cool. Sounds easy to do aswell. £85 is a decent price aswell - though a bit out of my league at the mo. Def something to save for though...

    dont spray rear badges black, just t-cut them, takes alot of rubbing but looks belting when done.

    Spraying is a lot easier IMO. Clip them off - 2 coats of matt black - clip back on - Sorted
    
    And why have you made a identical thread in the Styling and Interior section?

    Coz Im an ass - I put in here then realised straight after that it was in the wrong section. So I put it in the right section and intended to 'delete' it from this one... but didnt know how to, or even if I could...
