Jay18's Grand Vitara 2.0 16v LWB

Post by Jay18 » Fri Mar 07, 2014 9:36 pm

as muddymesser said, i have a deposit on a Grand Vitara 2.0L 16v

so my SJ is for sale, going to miss it but it served me well and i saved it from the scrap so im happy i saved its life, so its time for someone else to enjoy her now...

as ive got a contract for work now i need something better on fuel, and more comfortable, i needed something better for travelling to and from the in-laws and wanted to stick with suzuki, so a GV seems perfect...

ive looked at various mods including 2" lift, All Terrains, fog lights (will be visiting familly that live in lydd, kent and it gets very foggy down there), would also like a double din cd player with satnav built in

pics will be added when i go and get it :D but here is a sneak peak :P

Looks good that. I have a liking for these motors.

First thing I do tho is get the champagne gold changed to
Gunmetal grey.

the front bumper has some unmatched paint work done to it so it needs some painting of some sort, would like gunmetal grey but i dont want to balls it up haha

im thinking some black modulars or maybe even gun metal grey, and some mud and snow tyres, want a bit of offset to give is a wider track, think it would look better then

Looks good matey, you also need to get a matching wheel for the driver side rear, those wheels have less offset than the other 3 ;) think they are 1" narrower as well.

On the join of the bumper and arch it has been badly painted, will take a pic when I get it

And Scottie, I didn't notice that! The spare wheel cover doesn't fit the wheel properly so now I'm thinking it's got the spare on the front, I want to get some GV alloys or some nice 16" modulars or 8 spokes with some offset, so if anyone knows a good website for them then It would be a help!

That would be good Scottie, not sure on the bullbar but the alloys look nice

Are they 16x7? Will be after at least a month yet though so I'll have them off you if you still have them then

Wi message you on Facebook to see how much you want for them..
