SatyS 0 Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 Heres my Vento which is currently a 1.8 but have purchased a VR donar car and just compling all the bits for the conversion here are a few pics of when i bought her sprayed part of the front grill black while trying to source a early grill. Also managed ti get hold of a us GL slitterGot the exhaust done at StyledynamicsBeforeAfterGot a US spec from ebay Needed a drop so next thing on the list were colliesPut the car up for sale to buy a VR and then had an incident with the following car Seeing as this wasnt my fault this is where the real modding started so after sourcing all the bits i wanted i dropped her off to the body shopHad the rear arches made around the 9j wheels ET15 This is when she came out of the bodyshopWanted seats abit different to the norm so managed to get some Audi A3 leather seats and modded the runners on the fronts and hacked a mk4 golf to make the rears fit.How the rear looks Finished work and when i got to the car park was met with the following site,Sourced some stickers at Players to mask the damageMurdered the headlightsI have finally managed to source a Donar car and am currently in the process of obtaining all the parts for when i do the conversion.No noises at all coming from the chains when started from cold. Cheers for all the info on this site. Great help when looking at VR's.Will keep this updated once the conversion starts. Just waiting for the weathr to get better so i can start.Cheers for taking the time to read this thread. Link to post Share on other sites

bungy 2 Posted December 29, 2010 Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 Worth sorting Premium membership to get discounts on the parts in your list. Link to post Share on other sites
SatyS 0 Posted December 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 I already get discount at GSF and ECP due to family working there. Is there a full list of companies that premium members get discount? Link to post Share on other sites
bungy 2 Posted December 29, 2010 Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 Only reason why I mention it is because you'd save more than the membership fee on vibratechniques engine mounts alone and there are many more. Plus it helps support the club. Link to post Share on other sites
