[Saxo_Scott]

should be a good little project ... good luck!

[Shellz]

Good luck with it all! :)

[Eskimo]

Yeah hopefully, dunno if to Colour Code it? Taking all off then spraying it. Bad or Good?

[jodie_saxo]

good plans you got there, seems like quite a list so i'd worry about colour coding once you've just about got it how you want it :)
personally i'd go for a 3" piper (that's what i want!)
good luck with the project :P

[Eskimo]

[Eskimo]

Wondering if to make my VTR alloys White? Or keep silver?

[Mochachino]

good work mate :y: Keep ya alloys silver ;)

[Eskimo]

good work mate :y: Keep ya alloys silver ;)

Any reason? Yours white? Or don't White VTR alloys look good?

[Liam-westcoast]

good work mate keep going

[Mochachino]

Any reason? Yours white? Or don't White VTR alloys look good?

They do look good, but i prefer silver, standard silver. Just my own opinion mate. When i refurb mine, theyre going back to silver like standard, tbh i cant wait!

[Ben]

White alloys look good on Posi blue saxos mate. Most people do it though cos it looks that good.

[Eskimo]

Was thinking white, as when ppl see its like, "wow thats clean" or generally like that, and stands out.

[Eskimo]

Update!

Sprayed Rocker Cover etc, i don't think i like it.. Might go get it Chrome Plated and get the Badass covers for Battery - Fuse Box - ECU.

And put my VT? and Rocker Cover sticker on, as finally in stock! - Got my embrassing VTR 1's off :P

http://i40.tinypic.com/2q24604.jpg

http://i40.tinypic.com/5vqi4i.jpg

Also i know may sound stupid but, How do you stick the Saxperience Stickers on? In the Window?.

Picking VTS interior up Sunday or Monday. And Raceland Induction Kit coming Tuesday.

[Eskimo]

Putting Bumper on and changing both front drop link bars as 1 snapped..., can't get the VTS Interior as work being pain, induction kit hasn't arrived yet and Royal Mail seemed to lost it!!...., Check here tomorrow. :)

[Eskimo]

Well today, i changed both front Drop Link Bars.. 1st was fine, 2nd took like 2 hours lol.. Bolt kept spinning i had to cut the drop link bar off..., i must admite car gave me good fight.. Cut my dad 2 times, me 2 and nearly broke cheek bone as grips slipped off and i smashed face of brake pad.. and broke our grips!

All done, tomorrow giving it good clean!, Then hopefully Wednesday M.O.T!

why is your sub facing upwards ?
