    My VR-4 beast

    hi i have been a member for few months now and never posted some pics of my car so finally got round to giving it a clean and took some photos just after i finished fabricating and fitting my new 5" back box.

    I have a feeling it was Nutter-John who did mine about two weeks ago. Its still there so his work seems to last OK.

    Wow, very nice man.
    I like the white Enkei's.
    They really go hand in hand with the colour of your car. Very eye catching.

    Thank you, when i repainted them I didnt know if I should have done them black but I think I made the correct decision on the white.
