[blackeyedgirl]

how the hell u gona insure that when u pass in 3 years lol?

[saxomark]

its only a 1.6 8 valve, vts are the harder ones to insure because they are 16 valve,

[Mochachino]

your gonna have to have patience lol! i think it looks smart as it is mate.

[blackeyedgirl]

good luck;) it aint gona be cheap!! start saving lol

[David]

its only a 1.6 8 valve, vts are the harder ones to insure because they are 16 valve,

You have alot to learn...
But the car will look tidy with some different alloys.

[saxomark]

You have alot to learn...
But the car will look tidy with some different alloys.


Meaning....

[Mochachino]

[saxomark]

some ideas:

rip out tints and stickers
get some diff alloys maybe vts?
mark 2 rear lights

what u think

dont think the mk2 lights look all that different from the mk1 ones to be honest and im keeping the tinted windows and stickers on for the moment while i do other mods and keeping the alloys as they are brand new.

Mark

[saxomark]

thats all good, but 3 years is a long way off and will be different prices etc.

I like it mate, I really do.

How old are ya?

I'm 17 and have recently got a Saxo Furio in White =D

Great that you have the insurance covered, cos I know I wouldn't be able to afford it lol.

Cost me £1,600 for my 1.4 Furio and that's just Third Party, Fire & Theft lol

Great looker anyway :)

Oh and cos i'm new to this, how do I upload my own pic below ma name <<<.

Cheers bud.

[saxomark]

Hi mate go to user cp then click on avatar and upload pic etc, or should say profile picture and im only 15 lol, 16 in couple of months i got it as a project had a couple of problems with exhaust but all sorted now etc and its mint i drive on a track every week so i get it out and im using it.


Mark

[JRC1]

Ah sweet man.

Must be well nice having a quality car at that age, but annoying at the same time cos you want to get it on the road lol. Good that you can drive it on a track though.

I wouldn't change your wheels like others have been saying. Although VTS and VTR's are nice, I like the ones you have, they're different and just set it off tbh.

Call me thick, but I can't seem to upload my pic... I get to the avatar bit but then it just gives me a choice of pics, no link to upload or anything!!??

Cheers.

[saxomark]

Why does everyone think that painting wheels white and putting vts alloys back on looks so good i like aftermarket wheels thats why i bought them,also my angel's have the indicator bit instead of them looking like 3 eyes there 2 with a smalled indicator looks nice.


Mark

[Col3y]

[Matty_VTR]

looking really nice mate, only thing i dont like is the white rocker cover.. just seems to stick out maybe a dark gray or even just black would better but thats just my opinion.

[saxomark]

Hmm i like the rocker cover just the picture makes it stand out but im going for a clean/white look to be honust, and i got the citroen sport badges from Willsy private message him still have a couple yellow ones left he will sell them.


Mark

[X_PaRaDiSe_X]

Makes me laugh tbh.

You're like what, 15? So it will be at least another 2 maybe even 3 years before you can start driving on the roads...

How are you finding all of the money to spend on this car? Taking it to the bodyshop, refurbing alloys, buying new interior, rear lights, new vtr kit (lol) when you are only 15?

What's the point? You'll probably write it off within the first few weeks of being passed anyway... no offence but that's what statistics show :(

Ah, maybe your parents are paying for all these mods. Does look like you live in a posh area.

Just think it's stupid how you're modifying your car when you won't be driving for at least two more years!

Oh and change the wheels buddy!

Yeh im 15 thats right and i work every saturday to earn money for my car, and i have been saving for a little while getting pocket money etc, and i am not going to write my car of in the first week as im not a foul like all the idiots that go trying to race up and down country lanes.. so before you post stupid comments think before you post. and also how is it stupid im modifying my car when i wont be driving for 2 years alot of people on here started young owning a car 15,16, etc and if you read the first post i bought it as a project car, because i am studying motorvechile course at college, and wheels are personal opinion. and im not your buddy.



Mark

[saxomark]

Bump....

[smiith]

dont bump a progress thread :P

looks good tho dudeee

Not sure on the angels though, i prefer smoked things to chrome and whatnot, but its personal choice aint it :)

Not going to mesh the grille? would look pretty cool :)

[furiomike]

best time to mod a car is when its off the road like. bet you cant wait till yer 17. in fact i bet your not even gonna bother waiting are ya ;)

[JoshG]

I think its good that at 15 your doing something decent in your spare time.
HOWEVER...
I know a few people have said this, but I think you are gonna be slightly pssed when you get an insurance quote. (if your doing it the legit way)

You've got to bare in mind that the car is ins group 7 and its a 1.6.
I live in a low crime area, I'm 17 and have an ins group 4 car, value £2k and its a 1.1.
It cost me £1700 WITH Pass Plus TPFT.
Ive had quotes for a vtr, W reg and it was £3544 TPFT.

Also the cost of living is going up and theres no way insurance will come down for cars.

I think you've done a good job of the car, but I would just consider the insurance unless you are sorted legit, e.g it been on a fleet insurance for a company any driver.

Again, nice work.

[saxomark]

Yes mate, i know about the insurance, and thanks for comments i do have the insurance coverd as some people my dad know can get me a good quote, and i know its going to be about £3000 but ahh well better to have a nice vtr driving a round rather then drive a crappy little car for 1 year to get insurance cheaper and it wont be too much different.


Mark

[saxomark]

best time to mod a car is when its off the road like. bet you cant wait till yer 17. in fact i bet your not even gonna bother waiting are ya ;)



Yeh lol nah im driving a track in essex so that under 17 can drive with an adult in the car, but you can have good fun down there ( its not a race track a learners track with traffic lights/round abouts etc.


Mark

[Matty_VTR]

didn't know you were 15, thats gr8 that you've got the car as a project ect. keep up all the good work. Its gunna be mental in 2 years time!

[saxomark]

lol yeah should be looking sweet, thanks matty_vtr


Mark

[alexsmith]

nice car mate ;) wish i started when i was your age lol
got a vtr at 17 pay 2400 insurance and got ferk all money for mods but its worth it
keep up the good work

[MrG14]

:y::y::y:Congrats on the progress so far! I think it looks sweet, and at 15, you're doing a good job with it. I'd also like to say too, that I prefer your wheels to standard, and also prefer your lights, and it's funny how there are a lot of people quick to point out how that they prefer what quite a lot of others do, i.e wheels, lights ect, but it's you, and others like you that are unique, and stand out from the crowd. :y:

[saxomark]

Thanks nice comment mate,


Mark

[JRC1]

Looking good Mark mate, keep it up :D

[saxomark]

LITTLE UPDATE:

Im going to book it into 4extreme tomorrow in essex to get it rasied the rear torsion bar as its to low im leaving the front just bringing the back up to the fronts height. also next week its going into bodyshop for all new vtr kit, well all lower trims, new rear bumper, front bumper sprayed, bonnet sprayed,and lower door trims ( New ones) rear trims (new ones)


Mark

[Slammed_Posi_Vtr]

TOO LOW! what you on about. a car can never be too low, im dropped nearly 100mm and its fine, just get the right set up and avoid speed bumps, although they still arnt too much of a problem, id say for every 20mm lower than -40 its looks twice as good. Only thing with it being that low is its bumpy as fook.

[Slammed_Posi_Vtr]

+ ur a bastad, i want all that spray work done too, just cant afford it!
keep up the good work mate

[landanimal]

looks good :y::afro:

[saxomark]

Mark

[saxomark]

Mark

[Hopcraft]

a big no no to full lock and rear passengers though, once they wear id go for some 40profile imo, will look better and would be so much more practical.

[saxomark]

My car, rubs on full lock anyway with 195/45/16, and i have no rear seats so no one will be sitting in the back, so not to bothred.

you dont need to drill holes

pull up the carpet and behind the handbrake there is a bung in the floor you can use

nee to get the exhaust and heat shields off the underside and whack a bolt on the thread
and require to just grind down the bottom of the eye bolt but imo its tidier than drilling everywere
