Back in a Vauxhall after a short stint over at Citroen then Ford.Feels good tbh as Vauxhall is what i know best so made sense.Anyway loved my old Mk4 and always said i would have another but a better spec'd 1.So picked up this 2001 SRi 2.2 16v.102k with some S/H.Bodywork is near mint with no rust,just 2 tiny pin dents on the doors.Liking it so far,goes good,drives nice,spec'd up with trip comp and cruise control(awesome for saving fuel).
Its nothing special or rare,but here's some pics before i start changing things.
Plans are order up a badge-less grille at weekend,find some lowering springs,possibly split and darken the headlights,and find some late spec tinted rears.Also need to find pics of a car near enough the same with Cav Turbo wheels fitted as i reckon it could look no bad on them.Maybe even get a PS done.

Aye,done them on Monday.Discs are wet/have wheel cleaner on them,thats why they look shiney,but they got an advisory at MOT time so will need replaced b4 next MOT.Still plenty life left in them.

The wheels in question are 16s,same size as whats on it just now.
Eck,that idea did cross my mind and is probably the best idea.And you might get a sale out of it too.

Cav turbo rims don't suit mk4s at all.
