ALLL comments welcome, personally im keen on the orange wheels and the black ones.

[Col_VTR]

1st and 2nd photoshops are the best :y:

[sharpie]

yep 1st and 2nd no doubt lad.

[andee17]

Dont you think the black or white VTR wheels on saxos has been slightly over done or is it me?

Im very picky about the appearance of my car because this is what i sold prior to buying my saxo, sold it for genuine reasons, needed money i didnt have spending on it lol

[sharpie]

is that a golf limited or a just gti with blue badges? not sure about the wheels, black vtr wheels are done a lot less than anthracite vts ones though :lol:

here was my golf - was so cheap to run/look after/fix

Its neither mate, all me that haha it was a 1.6 driver im only 19 lol no one would touch me on anythin bigger than my old golf for insurance, 19 2 years no claims and they still want 1400 for this vtr.
That was the interior

it was a great car but would of had to throw a hell of alot of money at it. what engine was yours? looks sweet as that mate, black estorils?

[sharpie]

liking the leather. mines was stripped out but sold most the parts before selling it. mines was a 1.8 gti - was a proper laugh like.

yeah they're estorils i got for £20 and refurbed black myself, bit of a bargain :y: lol. your golf with different wheels would be sorted like. once you get your saxo lowered it'll be nice like, i'd try and get that done first if i was you :y:

[Mochachino]

1st chop but get clear or smoked fogs :y:

[sharpie]

can't edit posts yet - grr..

that's mental for insurance mate, my vtr is 800 for me and i'm 20 with no NCB, my golf was only 500 but that was TPFT

[andee17]

I painted the fogs that colour myself, really think they suit the car.

Ye getting it lowered is my main focus point atm.

I cant believe you could insure an 8v gti for 500!!! best quote i got was 3200 or something and i got quoted 2800 for a fiesta RST. lol madness

How does the gti faie to the vtr? quicker or slower?

My mk2 handled awesome, was only lowered 40mm with a rear strut brace but it stuck like a bitch.............this saxo on the other hand is rather dodgey lol

[sharpie]

i'd check out your bushes cos if it's an R reg and they've not been changed then chances are new ones will tighten the handling up. my golf felt quicker than my saxo tbh, but then again it had no interior cos i drove it max 5 miles a day, whereas i do a lot more driving in my saxo now (hence why i changed cars)

try elephant for quotes, they always come out cheapest for me

[Hopcraft]

1st and 2cd definally the best photoshops.

get it slammed firstly !

[Wilkys-sexy-saxo]

second one, no doubt will look the nicest

[furiomike]

looks very well kept for a 97.

i think it would look good on white wheels.

[Saxy1]

1st and 2nd one mate. :y:

[Mikey]

1st photoshop without a doubt mate

[andee17]

Thanks for the comments people.

I am rather keen on the black wheels i must admit but does nobody like the orange ones hahaha

[sharpie]

orange ones are fine for track wheels but not much else:homme: black wheels ftw though - check my progress thread lol

[snowley]

def go for the second one mate, n try going directly to more than for the insurance. im geeting insured in my vtr 2mo im guna b 18 wit 1 years ncb and its £650:)

[Jimmy-Boy]

1st shop is the nuts! real mean, convert into bad boy carbon too :P or what ever.. may look even more beasty :y:

[jamiemol]

i think the 1 with the black bonnet would look nice with black angel eyes

[andee17]

Cheers for the comments another photoshop will be up soon lol i wakey up and i dream of what could be hahaha

[laura_g]

love your cars mate that golf is beautiful

[tommyVTR]

i like the first one, black wheels are very common but dam they look good so who gives a toss! i decided to take a similar route but do the 205 gti alloys in black, lil bit different! got a lil design im following through tho which shud look nice.

[pike0]

had a little play myself. hope you dont mind! :P

[vtr_driver]

Love the 1st shop mate do it!! I have the Phase 2 version LMAO

[MrHouston]

Love the car, especially with the white wheels, how much did you pay for it if you don't mind me asking.

[andee17]

haha pike0 i took your idea and added one last touch, black roof

Mr houston- paid £1000 for the car with plenty of tax and mot, has a rather large dent on the back quarter.

[baker556]

why paint the fogs yellow? photoshops look nice !

[James]

Carbon route for me, but I am biased..

Shame it's standard now, mark 1's with carbon bonnets look great though. Personal opinion and all..

Id go carbon but its expensive int it lol just out of curiousity how much has your saxo been lowered? is it on 15" alloys?

[saxokid2006]
