Cheap But Cool !

Don't know if you have seen them around, but there is a range of accessories made by a company called Sakura called "Type VR". I can get them at my local Motor World shop (www.motor-world.co.uk).

They have a few bits such as this tax disc holder. Not the best quality but looks cool with Type VR written on it.

I've got the new Kroozin catalogue from Motor World, it was inside a mag which I won't reveal the name of.. and let it be known I'm not a regular reader of Fast Car.. DOH!

Anyway, I just came across the ally tax disc holder you mentioned above.
I quite like the look of the Satin Silver finished one, it's only £7.99 I'm thinking of getting one.
My nearest Motor World is over an hours drive away though..

Did you get one Spirit?

Yes mate - it looks pretty good aswell - also got a cigarette lighter to match however it will not fit the standard VR-4 lighter socket so I had to modify the original one. Another nice touch though.

Can they not post one to you or order it online ? http://www.motor-world.co.uk/

The lighters aren't in the mag.
I'd like to get one of them aswell, just to finish it off.

They do mail order but you can't order online.

Does look cool with Type VR written on it - but will warn you - had to unscrew the black plastic part of the original lighter and superglue the handle part of the new one onto it - has stuck fine though and works a treat and is just a nice extra.

That wouldn't really matter as the lighter is just decorative to me.
Is the lighter socket in the VR-4 bigger or smaller than the standard over here?

The Type VR lighter barrel is bigger than the VR-4 socket

What is it with the Japs making small things?
