i cant see the fasination for the standard valver alloys both ph1/2, i think they are ugly, i hate my wheels on mine, i think it ruins the look of the car, i dont even like the standard alloys on the 172/182, i like the 172 cup alloys though, they look very nice on a valver, dan_mk1 has em on...

Im sorry, but i have to agree with this statement.
IMHO, whats the big deal about! if i was to go out and buy a VTS i wouldnt buy it because im a chav, i would go and buy it because, under that plain exterior lurks the heart of a monster, i have personally gone up against a VTS in my valver...

I was thinkin the other day about how sometimes i love my valver, yet sometimes i hate it.
i love the speed and acceleration, i love the looks, and the handling, i especially love to sound of her when she comes on cam!
but on the other hand i hate the running costs, i hate the fact that they...
