[si_pow]

Looking pretty stylish to me mate! Not really the kinda thing i'd go for, but thats why i like it. Its nice and different. Would like to see it with these 20"s on mind, haha :D

[Mike_08]

imo if your goin down the bodykit road go for the show style. looks tad out of place on the road these days but like people said its not bad

[Andy_K]

Car looks nice - always quite liked the dimma kit and the colour suits it perfectly.

[-Ashley106-]

right now commenting on the car after my rant ...

[Tom_latchford]

cheeers thanx mate howz the progress on your coming along??

[Tom_latchford]

not a fan...OTT for me...

find it abit odd that you have Chrose Angels and Smoked Lexus lights...but each to their own...

take it your not a fan of the VT kit?

the lexus lights aint smoked

[Tom_latchford]

before and after!! what you think???

[Tom_latchford]

should i keep these lights or get smoked ones???

[Elliott]

smoked jewels or standards.

[Andy_K]

cheeers thanx mate howz the progress on your coming along??

Slowly but surely mate. I'll get it done one day lol.

Think the bumper needs mesh in it to hide the panel behind it. Perhaps just standard, black mesh though, not that silver stuff that was in before. Perhaps paint the front panel black as well to disguise it a bit?

The rear lights, I actually don't mind, and they do suit your car as it's kitted. Just you will get slated for having 'lexus' lights be most people. Its your car though, so personal opinion counts :y:

[Tom_latchford]

cheers mate thanx

[Adam_Q]

Not a fan of the colour or the bonnet but its alright :)

I think smoked lights all round would look lush :)

[m4tty]

i like that loads fare play ...its nice

[Tom_latchford]

does anyone no of a body shop that will mold a dimma bumper to an original???

[Tom_latchford]

i like that loads fare play ...its nice

cheers mate

[blackvtrt]

personally i think swap the bonnet for standard, switch the chrome angel eyes for black, plus urs seem to have over spray on them? either a light tint spray over the lights uv got or smoked jewlers. Tbh i think evryone dreams of having a massivley modded car when there young and past ther test, show car etc, but grow out of it.

Change the wheels you have for chunkier black rims maybe with a polished lip would make it look meaner than the thin spokes that are on now. As for 20" rims mate just dont bother! Not slating u but u would really need deep deep pockets for the rims themselves, then all the work to get them to fit. good set of 20" tyres id imagine would be around the 800 quid mark

cheers for advice mate

[HollyAnne]

i like the colour actually but the bonet and all that arnt really my cup of tea, but fair play for looking after it :) xXx

[Mattt-VTR]

The bodykit isn't to my taste but that doesn't mean it ain't nice, no doubt some people won't like what i do to my car, but as it goes it is a fairly nice car, like the colour, deffo get some smoked jewels, would look so much better, and maybe replace the bonnet with a carbon one.....

Keep it up buddy

:y:

[Murfy00009]

im lovin it man.Id say u turn a few heads wit that sax. It certainly stands out. The black wheels look ace..

[VTS_86]

Hey Tom, haven't seen you out in the Sax for a while. It's coming on nicely. I finally got my boot smoothed and dimma rear bumper.

[-Ashley106-]

updates???

[Tom_latchford]

havent got any updates dont no were to start of the sax

[Tom_latchford]

Hey Tom, haven't seen you out in the Sax for a while. It's coming on nicely. I finally got my boot smoothed and dimma rear bumper.

she got no mot or tax its been of the road for 6 months now and i still aint got my arse into gear to sort it out just need help she needs a bit of work

[D8N_LL]

dont normally like kitted cars mate, but this ones really nice. few things could do with changing to make it even better. definatley go with black mesh, and change the bonnet if u can?

[Prickle]

smart and stands out, not to keen on the bonnet but fair play :)

same colour as yorkies car ??

[DNBJ]

nt a fan of body kits... but if u like it thn...

[Taylor86]

Not my kinda thing but looks like it's all been done well, nice work :)

[STEBTECH]

Lovin' the colour mate looks mint.

[craigant]

Love this car mate 1 of my favourites on here think you should mesh the front bumper with black mesh, put smoked jewels on, get a bad boy bonnet, and put some black 15s or 16s on it that are similar to the ones you have then it would defo be my favourite but that's just my opinion. Will be good to see how it looks with 20s.

[VTS_86]

I agree with the back mesh in the front bumper. Will look much better.

[Tom_latchford]

would look nice i agree will do it when she has had her mot which is this week

[landanimal]

with the front grill on bumper mate i think you should put normal mesh in there in black and same on front grill go baby blue and black with the car!

[Tom_latchford]

it went in the garage last wednesday for its mot was texted on the thursday and failed!!

1.what was wrong rear hug bolt need a new threat done coz wheel moved.
2.no cat so high emissons didnt fail by much tho
3.front light were just fucked e.g bulbs dif colour you coudnt adjust them and some other things

thats what was only wrong oh yer and they failed my sax-p sign on front window lol

few pics in garage

[Tom_latchford]

garage phoned me when i was at work car passed mot well happy finally get her back on the road

[-Ashley106-]

yer its a good theme mate im guna go for that! you got any sugestions what i could do??

[paul_vtec]

[Tom_latchford]

lookin good :)

thanx mate

[JoshB]

I'm a fan of the Dimma kit, its my favourite of the saxo bodykits.

I can only echo previouse comments really, i'd leave the back lights get black front angels, black mesh all round and change the bonnet back to boggo. Black rims with a polished lip would look lush on this, then add a show cage for some internal bling. Maybe look at gettting it re-laquered with rainbow flakes in...

Looks nice though mate! And congrats on the passing the MOT! I'm dreading mine, you can grate cheese with my saxo its got that many holes in

[Tom_latchford]

picking these up saturday cant wait!!

[Tom_latchford]

just won these on ebay what you think??

[Dave89]

picking these up saturday cant wait!!

just won these on ebay what you think??

The wheels and seats look mint mate!

I'm normaly not to keen on kitted cars but yours looks suble compared to some you get! Personally i would get a standard bonnet and get the slits in it like on DJFlipsaxo's profile pick. Smoke the rear, side and front lights and do the new wheels gloss back and u'll be onto a winner :)

Keep up the good work dude :y:

*Edit: balls the pics didnt show lol

[MrHouston]

Seats looking nice mate :y:

[Paul]

I used to have same seats as them mate.

They're alright but give you a numb arse lol.
