FTO Number Two...

So my beloved leading lady has bought herself a lovely little FTO... I didn't influence her or anything! :lol:

It's a pre-facelift GR, completely stock standard (factory air box and all!). The only aftermarket parts it sports is a set of Ray's Engineering wheels and an epic sound system consisting of a fully hectic tape player that only has a working screen display when you punch it...

Paint is absolutely mint, the previous owner had all scratches removed and invested in a cut & polish before we purchased it! Motor drives like a dream, but being the girly girl she is, we HAD to invest in a fluffy blue steering wheel cover... Awmahgawd brah!

We'd like to see what you all can come up with in terms of sprucing it up a bit, she doesn't seem to think the stock standard look is exactly as pretty as what she would like! Feel free to shoot through some ideas, as we're wanting to make it look somewhat special. 8)

Here are a few pics to take a look at...

Looks like a good buy.

But I have one question...... Did she "tap" you in this car as well? :lol:

Nice FTO, well done :thumright:
Some guys in another thread are talking about after market dials.
I had a look and my misses wants a set for her Vectra, Stainless dials-Pink backing colour-EL lighting-custom cut logo of Bugs Bunny.
I know it doesn't change the look of the exterior, but your misses might like to customise a set for herself and it is a start.

Yes, of course... Because she's a deformed midget and I'm the last living descendant of Jesus Christ.

Miracles DO happen! :cheers:

Mind if I ask how much you got it for and where? I thought I was keeping pretty good tabs on the FTOs in SA. :lol:

Leave the car alone, it'll be worth more when you inevitably sell!

But yes, looks clean.

Not unless 'you're' getting money from the next guy... :troll:
Besides, it's merely a suggestion, by no means my car, but few people tend to keep these, so having a factory model is better than some kitted rice bubble.
