Devil's in the Detail

Here at Balla Approved we love something with style, power and originality. Jeff Creedy’s VX220 turbo certainly has all 3 of those bundled into one little mini supercar package. Jeff used to own a red VX220 N/A, but before deciding to go all out creating a custom masterpiece he felt he needed more power to play with first and so sold on the N/A and upgraded to the VX220 turbo and then the mods began.

We spoke to Jeff in order to gain some insight into the car....

How did your ownership of the car come about and why did you choose the VX?

Wanted more power so sold the N/A for the tubby, I know the ZLET engine inside out so was a sensible option.

What look are you going for, where did you get the inspiration?

Supercar VIP! Inspiration from your typical tickled supercars, Lambos running image wheels etc that sort of look.

And what would you say is your favourite mod so far?

The coilovers, they're 90% responsible for the stance on standards and help the car cain anything in its way.

Can’t argue with that, it does sit lovely and holds a great road presence! Any future plans?

Enjoy it now I reckon, it’s at the stage I want it.

Good to hear it, a car like this needs to be enjoyed and no doubt driven properly! What shows can we see you at this year?

All of them!

Good stuff, will certainly be keeping an eye out for you then and who knows, the VX should be wearing our seal of approval very soon!

Finally any people or clubs you want to make a shout out or thank you to?

Nobody’s really had an input if I’m honest so no thanks, but a shout out to the Future Shock family for opinions along the way and always making shows what they are... one big drinking session!

A real awesome bit of kit this and cannot wait to have a good look at it at Mods Nats this weekend.
So our first Vaxuhall makes it onto the BALLA-Approved list. Good work Jeff!
