Looks nice! Some mods im not too keen on, others I am like the aerotwin wipers and headlights.

Bet it sounds good

 

[cantbassed]

tbh i dont like, as it seems too busy. standard i love these cars! maybe look at gsi or sri rims? painted up? i bet the v6 roars!

 

[frenchwood]

It's staying as is for now I think, as the GSI Pre-face is better looking than the facelift, and goes well with the Kamei, Angel eyes and bonnet Extension.

The mods are pretty subtle, and when tehy are listed it looks like loads has been done, however without the list i'd actually have to point some of the mods out! lol

I have, however decided to refurb the alloys, as they are looking a bit dated. Don't like the SRI twin spokes, and the GSI's, they 2 a penny, so keeping mine is the best option as they are nice and original!

The remus straight through centre section, combined with the Remus back box makes sure the V6 can be heard, that's for sure. A few people have said it's too much, but I love the roar, as well as the whistle from the induction kit at high revs!

Slightly off topic but for frenchwood

Did you know there is a guy on the mondeo forum who fabricates engine bling for the vectras and i think the 2.5?? he maybe known as 'wooty' on there?

I notice you are lacking a bit, would you be interested if i find out his website as i have forgotten it?

 

[frenchwood]

There's a guy on VVOC does it mate, i'd imagine it's the same bloke!

cheers

 

[AppleSei]

Not bad for a vauxhal I guess...

All driven by idiots around here though

My Step dad has one of the new VXR's with Remap which is pretty interesting...
