hi guys and girls im new here and need alot of advise i have a saxo 1.1i and i just want to make it look a bit better and make it stand out a bit any help would be grateful smileys/smiley4.gif

[Saxonator]

Is it a Mrk1 or Mrk2 ?

[AdamH]

firstly go here (http://www.sax-p.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11482&PN=3)

and read my post about the 1.1 mark 1 3 stud alloys smileys/happy.gif

Also you can get Dare J27's which look like this:

Secondly its up to you, if you get alloys you will want to drop the car.. drop it as much as you want but bare in mind that up to 40mm you can use just springs but over 40mm you will need a full kit.

Go for a bodykit or just get a valance or splitter which fits a mark 1 but its generally up to u.

On my 1.1 im getting a VT kit, 15's, 40mm drop and thats just the start smileys/happy.gif

If your after a good price contact Gaz aka GSMotorsport from G.S.Motorsport (www.gsmotorsport.com) he will get you good prices smileys/smiley16.gif

cheers for that but i dont wanna slam it as the roads round here r shite how much should i pay for a vt kit then if any has one and wants 2 sell

[AdamH]

well normally a VT front bumper can reach upto £100 so im lucky to get mine for 300.

Front Bumper
Rear Bumper
Side Skirts
Arches
Door Pannels
3 1/4 Pannels

to put a whole VT kit on... check local scrappys and mix and match mate, you could also try and find some bodykits for Mark1 no VTS/VTR models

Why do up a 1.1...you'll have all show no go...
Cars that wanna be something they aint...hmmmm
Just go with the flow....you aint gunna be going anywhere fast so make the inside comfy...
Tele....PS2...nice retrim...
im just messin....do what ever takes ya fancy
go mental...(then get an engine overhall)

[SaxoAL]

He's 'doing up' a 1.1 as he is only 17 with his first car (I presume), and insurance is high enough as it is!
Its not about power of the car if he wants looks, as Raj has shown with his small engined saxo, but the look/styling are amazing!

Like has been said before, whats the point of going fast in a great looking car, as no-one will be able to see you.

everyones opinions and choices are different mate. Have a look at the site Adam has given you and check out the gallery and modifications section for some ideas.

True dat....dont rap ya car if it looks fly...
but when you pull up at the lights and the geezer looks at you in his boggy....306....you go hmmmmm
he revs....and then bang....the games up

[JayWard]

hi ive got a 1.0 litre saxo,choice is limited on wheels so maybe go for a hub conversion if you have got the money?...ive lowered mine 60mm front on just springs and 80mm rear..got a few big plans but it depends what u wana go for mate,take time choosing what you wana go for and do it!
good luck mate and keep us informed

[sim69er]

kk thanks alot guys nd gals i will keep u posted on wot i do. how much do those hub conversions cost

[Streetz]

Well ill tell anyone to get small deep dish alloys n slam it...but thats out of the window for you! SO in that case spend cash on the inside n just a bit on the outside, subtle is gud if the person looking can appreciate it!

Dont agree with the 'speed' thing people av mind, but i will say that my car is slow as f**k now hahaha. Just if u want the bodykit look, get the VT kit n pretend you got a VTS! Laugh at the people that try racin you wen they are flyin away n u didnt even bother racin...make out like you know you could beat them but just didnt wanna waste the petrol.

[sim69er]

lol i like wot ure sayin streetz can ne1 tell me where i can get 1 of those hub conversions from also how much they cost

[sim69er]

come on guys nd girlies i need sum more help like so far i got a pioneer head unit nd kenwood sub nd amp but i wanna make it look betta ne 1 selling a vt kit?

[SaxoAL]

people sell VT kits all the time. There was 2 in the for sale section recently, and there is 2 on ssc at the mo also.
