The car was bought by MTV in 2009 and was used as a promotional car for the new (at the time) tv channel mtv viva
the car was sent to r-tec auto designs where it had the following work done.
the seats and door cards where re trimmed and they fitted a new carpet and headlining.
the exterior had a full vinyl body wrap in grey matt with viva logos on and they fitted new 15x7j boyd coddington billet wheels with 195/45/15 tyres
in 2009 the car was given away as a prize at the MTV VIVA launch party and I purchased the car off the guy who won it

Very cool- keep it as is- It could one day be worth far more than a HA could possibly be worth based on its history alone. They must be the most bling seats in an HA in the world?

Very cool- keep it as is- It could one day be worth far more than a HA could possibly be worth based on its history alone. They must be the most bling seats in an HA in the world? Them seats are mega nice, but Diff's other halfs got really nice seats in her HA too. |

They must be the most bling seats in an HA in the world? unfortunately because it was a promotional vehicle they did a poor wrap on the body as it is coming off in places  it looks like they didnt even wash the car because there is dirt/dust under the vinyl and the bottom of the doors also need welding so the body wrap will be coming off in summer and the car is going matt black, the viva logos might be put back on or in a different colour pics from a previous owner shows what it looks like under the grey body wrap    |

mtv viva aint the biggest channel so if you think it would look better with vynal off then go for it , id go lower , even if the wheels rub on full lock that don't mean it cant go down at the front , trust it can  is a cool car, if you do paint it go satin black , it don't look as dirty as matt when it gets dirty,. |

I would get the vinyl redone after a respray, the green would go well with black and it will keep it tied in with the interior.

I reckon it would look ace in the original colour, but still with those wheels on.
