[redlinerdj]

nice and tidy! any plans for it yet?

[Saamuell]

Thats sooo clean :y: Welcome

[peeweelp]

looks good, very clean

[Mattryann]

i have recently taken off all side trim front and rear bumpers and decided i dont like the black trim or bumpers makes the car seem dated and bit of a old banger so i got colour code and desided to colour match all the panels:
http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e357/matt_ryan/Picture004.jpg

while i was working on front bumper i got silly idea to cut away the bottom vent pillars to open the mouth up i then fibre glassed holes from doing so and applied body filler over that shaped and sanded ready for paint:
http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e357/matt_ryan/Picture003.jpg
can kind of see from this what i mean i have also fitted a black mess to it.

i have just finished all the priming and painting got all the bumpers and trim back on and this is what i got now:

still got to paint door handles and indent section on side mirrors and picking up some new 15" 5spoke 3stud alloys i got of ebay will put pics up once fitted.

[adamsax]

If that's DIY it's a great match as red is a c*nt.

Good finish too :y:

[peeweelp]

looks really smart what a difference it makes

[Mattryann]

[Sneakydevil89]

i woudlnt put speakers in parcel shelf, try and think outside the box as 6x9's and stuff have been done to death.

Really nice job on i so far though, cant fault your handy work!

[Liam-westcoast]

looks good mate plans sound good

[Mattryann]

Yeh I def agree bout parcel shelf speaker died out but I can't really do anything really in boot as I need space as I travel alot with uni gf and my sport I will prob later on in the build work away of doing a nice sound system inside car on the doors front an rear but cheers for advise I'll prob sketch up couple of ideas

[JRC1]

Looks alot better now that you have colour coded the bumpers. A great, clean example :)

Keep it up :y:

[Mattryann]

Cheers mate yeh I'm happy how well it came out gotta finish colour coding door handles and side mirrors gettin my rims 2moz

[Ashleyp]

looks nice mate, very clean example

slam a vts lump in there ;) sleeper ftw

as for audio, ideally youd just want amped comps up front, and a sub in the rear.. will be better than any speakers in the shelf

[Chr15]

hey i just recently brought my first proper car this little saxo 1.0i

lol

Joke, I had the same except it was a Spree 4, dont know what the differences are though tbh.

[VtrFarlz86]

sounds daft put have u tried putting components in ur rear door cards?

[Sneakydevil89]

have a look at this guys thread, im sure he wont mind em posting it here...
http://www.saxperience.com/forum/showthread.php?t=183788&page=4

half way down, he did a custom parcel shelf build, seen it in person and it looks mint

[Danborambo]

Looks alot better colour coded mate, what you thinking about getting a VT kit on it? and colour coding that, would be ten times better. Nice atm though, get some nice alloys on it now! :y:

[Mattryann]

Yeh I want too get decent sound in the car but keep it hidin to keep the look simple and like a shock when you can't see fuck all then blows your head off kinds thing lol so I'll be getting creative with it

Yeh new lump is needed been lookin at some engines but I think that will be a much later job as what I wanna do now is bacially make car look bit get some performance done then get like a nice car turn this one to track/road car do engine swap fit wit turbo updated cam block unit manifold fit with full hi spec brakes front rear put serious suspension on adjust camber all that stuff lol so not much

[Mattryann]

Cheers sneaky I'll check it out

But yeh I was thinkin build speakers into doors or into pillars would be pretty nice but some where not to tricky with wiring and was lookin at vt body panels but also fibre glassin myself some achers put spacers on the wheel really widen look of the car

[Mattryann]

Nice chris what kind of things you do to your spree they are actually quite nice cars picked it up for 600

[Chr15]

Nice chris what kind of things you do to your spree they are actually quite nice cars picked it up for 600

Um, changed the HU and washed it after 1000 miles. Wasnt too bothered about it as its only a 1.0 and didnt have the money or time. I paid £995 and it had done 66,500 miles iirc.

Crashed it in January.

Now have a Mk II VTS :fcuk:

[Mattryann]

Nice change up there yeh fact it's only 1.0i ain't great cheap as but does good but hopefully with engine mods I listed will give it lil more poke

[Tom5190]

[Mattryann]

[Mattryann]

[Tom5190]

really good this pogress, looks like you have really thought about what your going to do before you did it. also was unsure about when you sed you were painting your brakes, as i arnt a fan of bright colored drums but very good choice on painting them black! wheels look spot on too. really like this car !

flat arch ftw!

also i will have some lowering springs for sale, been used for abot 1000 miles (been on car about a month) there 50mm drop G-max ones.... but couldnt tell you when ill be selling them as i need some new ones first!

[coleman258]

Cheers for the update smogie you have to let me know is that just front or both how much you

just the front... the rear is just a torsion bar (no springs) you dont need any parts to lower it, its just labour.

[Mattryann]

just the front... the rear is just a torsion bar (no springs) you dont need any parts to lower it, its just labour.

Orite cool that's all I wanted front springs how much you selling them for and I'll have to let u know as front really needs to be dropped which will really set the car off

[Mattryann]

hey got some new pics from today spent all day cleaning the car looks nice have a look let me know what you think:

[Sneakydevil89]

When i put my alloys on the steering felt a lot heavier, didnt really notice too much improvement in handling, but didnt have steelies on for very long.

50mm drop will give a nice feeling of more grip in corners, just becareful it isnt too low and start to scrub on full lock.

[saxojamesb]

nice car mate

[jayjaylui]

nicely dun, now hurry and get them lowering springs on :D

[stevo67]

Really nice job,you`ve done their smoked jewels on the rear with white alloys would look good.

Steve.

[Mattryann]

nicely dun, now hurry and get them lowering springs on :D

[Mattryann]

The 6x9 are nice going to build pods for then to go in the car in rear which will look nice as the speakers are designed to screw into the doors

[Mattryann]

good progress, plz dont vt kit it

nah i aint doing vt kit i like flat arch has good lines i have kept all standard parts just chopped front grill beam away n fibre glassed it just gotta lower the front

[gsavill90]

Nice car this :)
Really like what you did to the front bumper. I did it to a VT bumper, and i was thinking of doing it to my 1.1 bumper but i couldn't be bothered :(
Looks really good though!

If you're still thinking of getting a K&N induction kit.. then DONT!
I've got one, and tbh it's all noise..
They're a pretty bad design i think, and in theory they'll just make you loose power.
I'd try to do something custom, with like a universal cone filter mounted away from the engine somewhere.. then you dont get heatsoak.
The K&N will give you a real headache on motorways!
But yes, sorry for being negative, i'll try and be more positive in future :)

Definitely tint the front lights, it'll look ace!

[paul1990]

mint mate , love what you have done with the colour coding of all the trim and that , how would you go about it as my car is basicly the same , remove all the black trim and spary then just put back on when happy ???

[Mattryann]

http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e357/matt_ryan/carseats002.jpg
new update change of seats not much get lowered when i get money to take to garage as i got the springs

[Mattryann]

yeh thats pretty much all you gotta do mate

[MrHouston]

Hmm how have I missed this, I love it. Good progress :y:

[Mattryann]

havent added for a while is prob why mate progress has slowed rite down with lack of money

[Rob-6]

i like everything youve done especially the colour coding the only thing i dont like is the seat covers they look really tacky

[Mattryann]

yeh they aint the best but that was 1st fit gonna take seats out n try fit them alot better just tempt til i can find some half leather gti's

[Rob-6]

my 1.1 had the same seats as yours and i know there not the nicest pattern ever!

[Mattryann]

nah they aint great i like the shape and they are comfy just need to be leather so ill try re trim covers to fit proper nice

[Whiskerzz]

not bad at all... all you need to do is get the seat covers tight to the seats and it will look good :y:

[Mattryann]

yeh thats what im planning on doing get some spray glue re-trim covers to fit

[luke_freeride]

nice car mate,love the colour coding.where did you get the fornt bumper from as i like the bottom bit where theres nothing there but mesh.

[Darlz]

are the bumpers the original plasticy 1s ? cuz i have the same car and i realy dont like the bumpers

[Mattryann]

It's the original bumper mate I just cut away the center piece took ages to get the lines angles looking smooth and then fibre glass it and apply body filler but all original plastic parts sanded primed and painted

[weexlee]

well done mate , wish i was as good as you. i dont even know how to get the badges off the back so i can respray them lol. nice one

[Mattryann]

cheers mate get the haynes book that really helps but the bumpers i modied myself with saw fibre glass and body filler was easy enough and i think looks really mean is ace to drive

[TraV]

dude how did u get ur bumper so good, i got the same shitty bumper u started with and i rly wanna change it! help?! =]

[Mattryann]

where you from dude

[gelev]

well done mate

[TraV]

cornwall!

[TraV]

u no when u did u bumpers did u use sandpaper and for how long ?

[Darlz]

i want to see more updates dude !
got the same car as you.
you inspire me !

[TOM-DL]

nice car dude, how many cans of primer and paint did it take you to do the rear bumper?

[bambaaaa]

really nice car you have made alot of progress on it.
Will look really nice when you have it lowered.

[bobertmate]

Loving the colour coding mate.
Made a real difference; Much better, good work :D

[samfenna]

[mezza18]

[Mattryann]

[Toz]

Nice car ..pro job on that bumper! :)

[mikeyarcher]

looks well good wat u have done to it

[Toz]

looking real nice !! would ya be able to pm me on how you went about taking the bumper and trim off to paint ? thanks :P

[Derbyshire80]

heya dude im in the same boat as yourself bought a 1.0i spree in white thou :)
simple small changes are the way a little thing you could do with the interior as i hav with mine is to take the vent covers, speaker grilles, dash surround, center console surround and pillar bits out and spray them red (i did mine white ..) just breaks up the interior a bit and if you do as good a job as your bumpers and trims then it will look immense mate
:D
