Haha i didnt get the time to do it on my own sadly never mind yours lol Any bodyshop could fabricate you something along the lines of what i said though if you took in a few sketches.

My problem with a few sketches would lead into a whole different vx220 and a very empty wallet, its something one day il might go down

Mike was one of the first to put fins on. Wheels look great Luke, lose the fins though.

They look good on Jameso's car but I guess he's car is black, think they would look much nicer body coloured or clear imo

Update: It has been a while since I have posted on here. The reason being is I have been spending more money on some bigger things for the VX. I think i better update from where I left off last which was when I replaced the tensioner and my car still had a squeak. So a new belt was bought and fitted which fixed the problem.





I also fitted the robin splitter. The roof vents have since been removed after this picture.




Parts that i purchased for the vx: a brand new harrop from the group buy (thanks Mike for sorting the group buy) and also a coupe back (cheers jimmy for sorting this out) I haven't received the coupe back yet so i haven't got any pictures but here is roughly what it will look like.





Father Christmas then brought me some nice Luke harness in orange to carry on my orange theme.




Then some nice bling carbon fiber bits which is the speedo cover and the forward center console. The carbon parts are all fitted now just need to take a picture. I have also sent away a lot of my interior parts to get anodized so looking forward to seeing the results. I should also have some new seats sorted very soon.

[haggi961]

[Hark]

In mine they would but I thought your interior was black and red

[haggi961]

Mine is black and orange and i would of loved them to be in orange but it might of been to much.

Cheers mate. Ok so far but just tying to figure what bits i need to buy next to make it work. Soon as i find the bits i need i can then set a date to fit it all.

My mistake thought it was black and red hence me saying black and red padding

they were horrible..

sat to high
couldnt pull the seat far enough forward to be comfortable on the pedals, if you did you couldnt get it in reverse,
wouldnt fit with my harness bar.
sliding the seat forward/backwards was a pita as the slider was very far under and back.
having the higher sides on means getting in and out was a true pain
they were pretty comfy on a long drive but not as much as standard
they were very light.

i had sold them to luke before i had even finished putting them into my car. lol
