   well after seeing this car....
   
   
   
   im thinking about returning my car back to semi standard.
   
   Here is my car as it stands atm...
   
   
   
   
   Im looking to get another car come the back end of next year so will be going more to standard then anyway. But im thinking i like the more clean unmodded way of the car now..
   
   I would get some VTR alloys, raise the rear 10mm. Standard exhuast system, mk2 rear lights, standard front and rear badges, mk2 grill and silver mk2 angel lights. Only thing modded then is the lights and the ride height... What you recken?

    I reckon silver wheels aswell! I don't like the idea of black wheels at all at the moment. I don't think they do anything for a car. Just make it blend in more!
    
    I liked the photshops you had done aswell, why not do some things like that?

    I dont want to put too much money into it. I changed my mind about the debagding after thinking what happend if he screwed that paintjob up too. I loved the chops but its taking it even more away from the standard thing i want it to be around Aug/Sept this year.

    Slowely take it back to standard then, Have you still got your vtr wheels, if so get out there and switch them over. You never know, you may really like it as if im honest i really do prefer the car at the tops wheels to yours!
    
    If you don't spend the money then you can put it towards a nicer car or something like that

    You will need them if your gonna take it back to standard anyway. Try to get someone to photoshop it!
    
    Or if you live near anyone who has some r wheels ask if you can just put 2 on for a tester!

    wow thats my car, although i wouldnt change your car mate. One thing about your height though is im meant to be down about 80mm at the back and 55mm at the front so it wouldnt look any different.

    Dont lose your wheels leck, they make the car, raise it up a bit, once u have a bit of comfort back in the ride you will be content for a while!

    If your really looking to return to a more 'Sleeper' styled car then why not get the VTR wheels and keep as a winter set either way get some Phase2 Rears on then take it from there.
    
    Maybe another suggestion is to paint the rear box black, I have always hated the way some rear boxes just look to big for the cars (Not the tailpipe but the silencer) mine is a Janspeed Mild Steel system and you can hardly see the silencer and I think that looks more 'Sleeper' or what about just changing the back box to a smaller oval design? ? ?
    
    Think you might regret raising the car so why not do the cheapest options 1st :-)

    Smash a bit over the nut with a hammer ( should mould the nut enought for you to twist it! )
    
    Gotta say, standard is the way forward. Arse end def needs lifting a bit!
    
    I changed the missus' wheels over a few weeks ago and the standard vtr rims look so much better than the 16" super t's she had on there

    are you goin to put all the colours back to standard colours headlamps, fog lamps, badges etc...? also i would'nt alter your ride height, makes the car look quite fresh and moderen that low, well in my opinion it does. good luck with all the stuff you chose mate.

    Its up to you really dan, but I like it as it is to be honest. If your going to change your headlights get some quads.
    
    With the exhaust you could put the standard back box on with the after market centre section so it still has a nice sound??
