For styling please keep it subtle. With a car that has such a great basic shape I think bolt on bits should be left in Halfords.

Lower it, put 16s on then do performance then ICE.

I did Viper(induction), Powerflow(exhaust), 52mm throttle body and Superchip Icon race unit.
BIG grin factor, anything more I didn't consider the gains worth the expense.

IMHO of course!!!

I agree completely, but 17s over 16s i'd say! :wink:

i was thinking of a front splitter , top window spoiler, and maybe some smooth sideskirts i dont want to wreck the lines its got already.
also i was looking at some lotus exige cams on ebay but not sure if the would be compatible for the block.
perfomance wise i was thinking of f.s.e fuel regulator , ngk leads, eon plugs , and thinking of 50 shot n.o.s.

its quite hard finding anything for the vvc.

Dave Andrews, Mike Satur, Emerald ECU's, Superchips, PowerTrain Projects

All do bits for the VVC engine

Roof spoiler is no longer made as an OE part, Motobuild do a fibre glass version.

Oz has got his bumpers etc (one offs) on ebay at the moment.

What sort of power are you looking to reach?

i would like to get a realistic figure of about 180-190 without nos .
they guys at moto-build told me the engine isnt that strong for power upgrades .
but i get annoyed by chavs ripping rovers down as grandad cars although the coupe will blow a lot of them from the lights , it would be nice to destroy their egos a bit more.lol.
