Just looked at this listing of a VX near NY..

http://newyork.craigslist.org/wch/cto/1733671434.html

I really like those small step bars on this one... Can someone please identify what they are?

p.s. looks like a nice VX, with the price set at an adequate level already and seller's willingness to negotiate, I don't think it will stay on Craiglist for long!

They are called "side steps"

PETOS--- For a variety of Step Bars, please visit www.JCWhitney.com and do a "search" for: STEP

It appears that the exact same one is available from JC Whitney, along with many other styles you may like better. I believe JC Whitney can ship international across the pond. Give JC Whitney a peek.:bgwb:

Same one but they painted the sides black. Summit has alot to choose from as well as JCWhitney mentioned above, JC is more expensive though for the same one:

Thank you, friends! :thumbup:
I do have shipping experience with summitracing, so I guess I will go with these guys.. also, I must say that the black/red painted version the guy in NY has looks cooler, so I will need to paint mine too..

p.s. just got my R20 wheels+tires from California last week.. it was a pain in the neck getting them to Russia, but now they are here and the look COOL
stay tuned for some picks in the "Wheels+Tires" thread ;)

I could live with that hood for 5 grand. That's the lowest price I've ever seen on a VX. I've seen a lot of S-titles go for more. I'm not a big fan of the styling mods either, but it would be easy to reverse. I've never seen a VX with mini-cooper-envy before.

I got mine for 4K, and I see the mini cooper thing. I'd have to fix that stuff ASAP if I bought it lol.

Wow 4 grand and no S title? Did you get it from a friend? Lots of miles?

130K miles and in great shape, just some minor things (window tilt issue and AC compressor clutch being the only things really). Came with the 18" Borbet's on it too. Didn't get it from a friend either, an older gentleman actually
