1.1 styling

[Rootyuk]

rite i wanna style the exterior of my 1.1 a bit more cos tbh i dont really like the look of it at the moment.

dont really fancy gettin a vt cos its too much hassle getting all the parts etc.

anyone got any suggestions on wat i can do?

[Saxo-Will]

got a spoiler? dimma grill? smoke lights?

[Rootyuk]

yeah got a spoiler need to fit it somehow as i dont have holes in my glass and cant glue it cos dont have a garage to keep it in overnite, meshed my front grill and wanna smoke my lights but havnt got the stuff to do it

[teebag]

i got most of the parts for a vt if you want it. it only needs a front bumper and passenger door trim. delock the doors? smooth the rear? lower it 50mm ftw

[Saxo-Will]

yea lower is maybe. whats ya budget mate?

lower is maybe? what you mean? get a nice set of alloys on there and lower it and then see what you fancy.

scotts sax is legendary, it inspired me no end, hence my black vt front bumper lol.

mine gets lowered on the 18th yey!

[Rootyuk]

dunno but budget, jus wanna do some cheap and cheerful mods.

is it easy to fit the vt front bumper? also do u have to declare it or will they let u off on that? (not that insurance is a prob)

cant afford gettin rear smoother although id love to.

also wanna lower but everywhere is costin a fortune to do it for me.

[DJsaxo]

It's just a straight swap witht he bumpers and no you wont need to tell your insurance .

[djrem]

best thing i did to my 1.1 was chuck a 16v under the bonnet.

in seriousness though.

Decide what look you want.

If you likeg going quick, then theres no point making a vtr/s replica because you'll look stupid.

just do subtle modifications and save the cash for a 1.4 or a 1.6 down the line :)

[SaxoJamie]

Subtle styling ftw. Just lower it, smoke headlights and get some smoked jewels for the rear.:p Scott's sax is a brilliant example

[Rootyuk]

yeah always admired his sax its a credit to this site.

sweet thats its jus a straight swap. if i put a rear and front vt bumper on (same colour code) do u think it would look ok or shite?

[djrem]

straigh swap but you would need to bolt it in tight to pull in the sides as they are supposed to have arches resting on them

Ditch the lexus lights in your sig?

[saxo_2004]

This is what mine used to look like.

[Ben_L]

for the vt bumpers apparently you need to cut the brackets down or something...would look good :)
