stevef182 0 Posted March 11, 2008 (edited) having had a 16v for just over a year i decided to 'upgrade' to a VR6 a few months ago..and so far i am loving it! its pretty much standard apart from a ported and polished head and a miltek exhuast system but apparently it made 211 bhp at stealth..sounds a little optimistic if you ask me but it certaintly goes very well :) got quite a few plans for it; new suspension, wheels, lights etc but need to save up the benjamins first!! have got a few pics, nothing special, all off a camera phone and to be fair they really dont do it justice, grey clouds, rain and camera phone is never a good combination but thought id share nontheless! will keep this updated with new pics as it progresses.

mattnorgrove 0 Posted March 12, 2008 They're certainly Aero wipers, have they got VAG markings on them? Could be aftermarket ones? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mark_Storm 0 Posted March 12, 2008 Hey Steve, nice upgrade! Have you finished in Bristol now? You'll need to get a well paying job cos I have a feeling the next few months could be expensive! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevef182 0 Posted March 13, 2008 Hey Steve, nice upgrade! Have you finished in Bristol now? You'll need to get a well paying job cos I have a feeling the next few months could be expensive! you clearly know me too well..have so much i want to do but just have to wait, suspension and wheels alone is gonna be a fair bit! yeah all done in bristol now mate, has been almost 9 months since i left..wanna go back soon, might try and co-incide it with a bristol meet! :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevef182 0 Posted April 9, 2008 quick update..have had the speedlines sent off for a refurb with an ever so slightly different finish to usual, not sure exactly how they will look but think they will look good..pics up this weekend..also my de-cat pipe arrives friday so will be getting that on sometime too..have also added some polished bezl rings to the interior, will add some pics when i put the ones of the re-furbed wheels on! also found a receipt for £3000 16k miles ago, which is more than i paid for the car! :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
