A heat gun and a stanley knife scraper for sticker removal!

Other than those it looks bang tidy bud.

Any idea what mods have been done to it if any? What aize tyres is it running?

Mods all depends on what you are gonna use it for.

Quite a few people seem to fit underbody protection to Vitaras.

So long as it is running ok just take it out and use it. Decide on more mods as you go.

Carpet would have been gone at the same time as the sticker :). Am I right in thinking the diff is poop on a vit?. Protection is always a good shout. Thank you. :doublethumbs:

Not sure if its the same on all Vits but i know some have alloy front diffs, they break. All depends how hard you are on it.
