Re: Whats The Best Colour Vrs?

The suspension is KW3 with racing springs. It could be set up lower but I have a 10mm strengthening plate between the block and sump which puts it closer to the floor.

The front brakes are the Jabba 4 pot Brembo kit with DS2500 pads. The rears are Black diamond discs with DS 2500's. It's still not enough to stop this car. A note on the black diamonds. My last set of fronts cracked the disc on the drilled holes. Mind you I was coming down from 180 on the runway at CZ.

It can go higher and lower back and front.

I think they are about £900 - 1k + fitting.

Red is best - red ones go faster.



Though I have to admit black can look stunning when clean.

Re: Whats The Best Colour Vrs?

Silver and black cars look dull and anonymous on the road, as they just melt in with all the other silver and dark metallic colours.

I quite like the Mk1 in Yellow, but if I had the chance a few years ao I would have been tempted by one of the stickered up white ones

Just washed my silver one and it looks pretty sweet, have to say the black when clean looks super but I couldn't be dealing with cleaning it every day

Mines blue but red looks good black is dead smart but hard to keep clean yellow looks good too and easy to spot on the road, silver is ok too, and dosent show the muck as much esp the boot area,
