Title: Should I swap my 8v for a VR6
Post by: Pike on 25 August 2004, 12:12
Lets have some opinions then please, I've pretty much made up my mind I just want to know what one you'd have. The MKII 8v in the pic or a white 5-door MKIII VR?

Surely you love your car (judging by the pics) way too much to chop it in for a lardy family car. For gods sake man its white !!  :o

If it had been a decent colour i would have said the VR6.
But then i hate Red as well.

Go find a dark coloured VR6.

Thanks for the input everyone.  ;D
Most peoples opinions backup what I was already thinking. If I didn't know the cars history, (a mate who runs the local garage was the previous owner & maintained it regardless of cost) I would not have thought too long about it.

Thanks again for all the comments  ;D

Do it!!!!!

The VR is quality, and white isnt that bad.....I've got a white 8v (5 door) and with the black wheel arch trims it tones it down. Some of the newer VR's had body coloured bumpers as well and with those BBS they look the dogs. Not the best colour but still a VR.
