Thinking of doing something to make it better looking now,but have to keep it quite plain because of local council rules with taxis so was thinking wheels as a good start.

Anyone else have any ideas also?

I was thinking of standard VRs wheels as starters.

Good idea

What about colour coded grill and front splitter?

A swan's head on the bonnet?

Hmmm, very nice, a small boot spoiler would look good on that!

Also why is it taxi drivers seem to find very late registered Mk1s? We've got a hell of alot round here on 07/57 plates! I thought the Mk1 went out of production in 2004?

VRS Wheels and front bumper plus a WRC spoiler? Would make a very nice looking taxi!

Im sure they are still made for this purpose? Or something along those lines...

Illuminated TAXI bar across the roof would look nice.lol

They are going to discontinue the MK1 in 2010 :thumbdwn:

I may be getting a WRC spoiler very soon, I would have a spare vRS one going spare, in silver too.........

Why have they kept the Mk1 in production with the Mk2 then? Or is it just for taxi drivers?

There does seem to be a preference to taxi drivers as many of them are at Taxi centres for sale but i think the public are not aware of them for sale anymore but anyone can still buy one.

The Taxi Centre in Glasgow are selling them for £10400 now but you don,t have to be a taxi driver to buy one.

Thanks Steevie Wonder thats certainly worth bearing in mind

Wheel upgrade. If you don't like or want vRS 17s, there are some nice 16s available too.
