Match money favorit mods - Anyone got any suggestions

Emily-Elizabeth · 14-07-2006, 02:11

What with having endless amount of free time on my hands I was thinking it would be fun to do some cosmetic and maybe slight 'performace' changes to Vladimir. When I say 'performance' I am not trying to kid myself he will ever be fast or anything, but I would not mind adding a bit more indivuality to him.

I went on a mission to find a strut brace today, L-Y-K told me that felicias have a brace that would fit, but I could not find a scrap place with the part. I am going to continue looking tomorrow.

Any how, can anyone think of things I could do to make Vlad that bit more different? I am thinking I am going to get a chrome exhaust extension tomorrow. I was also thinking I might paint his alloys white, and the brake caterpillers red. What ever I do, it has to be really very inexpensive.

Any ideas?

By the way, I draw the line at fluffy dice.

Remove the rear silencer and replace with a length of tube - should make it sound throaty.

Close the windows, it'll go faster.

Wash it to reduce wind resistance.

My old (and I mean old!) Mini Van had sheepskin seat covers or should I say it did until it caught fire

. I should point out that the battery was mounted behind the front seats and short circuited and voila, one very burnt out Mini Van!.

There might be some zig-zag stripes coming very soon. Also stars and rainbows.

You could paint the back windows black....

Emily-Elizabeth · 15-07-2006, 10:03

I was thinking of I might tint the windows. Surely if I started a fire inside the car, I could get smoked glass.

Definitely a big NO from me!

I'm a bit thrifty with the old wonga though and wouldn't blow it all away. Would invest most of it and wouldn't mind setting up my own little business - a micro-brewery would be just so nice!
