notice the lovely cowboy smooth boot and the jap cans oh dear

so the first job was to get rid of the smooth bonnet boot and chav cans lol
i managed to find a black boot lid of a vtr and black rear bumper for £20
there not in imaculate condition but the whole car needs a paint also sold my smooth bonnet and got a standard 1 but in silver so i had to break out the black rattle can just as a tempory measure
also found a peco back box of a 205 and made that fit
but i wasnt hapy so i was looking thru the clasifieds on hear and landed my self a full magnex system off jam vts which should be here by next week
and heres how she looks atm

[jodie_saxo]

Great progress made on your new 1, looks soooo much better already :)
can see you take good care of your saxo's, previous 3 look immaculate, really nice cars you've had :y:

[rowza]

Looks alot better already mate,saxos are chav cars but if you dont go down that road you can have a tidy looking car, the previous 3 saxos you had proves this point,Good luck with the car mate

[Danr]

Black wheels suit black cars if you want a stealth look. White wheels also look pretty nice
