dsh85's VTS

[dsh85]

as the temptation of the vts was too great i decided to look about and eventually bought this on wedneday night! havent been able to drive it yet as im still insured on the vtr but that should be sorted by the end of the month. the quality of photos arent very good but its the only cam i could get hold of! a better cam is needed as i dont think to does this car justice lol Id like to hear yours (the sax-p faithful's! smileys/smiley14.gif ) opinions and ideas of future mods etc, maybe help me decide on a few things smileys/smiley17.gif

[Dodson]

My old car smileys/smiley19.gif smileys/smiley19.gif

Would like to see pics of it riding on new wheels! smileys/smiley16.gif

[dsh85]

i think it looks well smart with the wheels on! smileys/smiley17.gif i cant wait to see your face when i fit my new 'motorsport' sun strip smileys/smiley16.gif

[wideboy]

Mint mate, engine mods ahoy smileys/smiley20.gif

Id get rid of the 16v badges (and fuel cap), and make everyone guess a bit smileys/smiley2.gif

Maybe some smoked rear clusters and repeaters?

[dsh85]

thanks bud! i defiently want to make the engine bay smarter that will be definately in my plans and was also thinking about the smoked rear to go with the headlights and tints! delocking was also another thing on my mind!

[tgazvtr]

mmmm i like that, i bet that hurt dodson to part with it.

[Dodson]

Yeh it hurt parting with it but my new Leon Cupra and baby girl eased the pain a little.... smileys/smiley17.gif smileys/smiley17.gif smileys/smiley4.gif

[Yates]

as joe says basically

smoked fogs as well, and if you can get standard black and silver mirrors instead of fully colour coded then it will add a lil more black to the silver and black look...thats if your going for it

it is smart tho

[shauns_saxovts]

looks like same wheels as mine

[dsh85]

im not too sure if im goin for the total silver/black theme it has a lot towards it but a bit undecided at the mo! yeh sean they are the same as urs!!
looks mint with the 16s on now well impressed smileys/smiley14.gif lol

[Yates]

what are you doing with the old wheels??

[dsh85]

just keeping them as spare mate in case i need them there not in too good condition with damage to the paint on most! if i didnt already have the 16's i would have had them refurbed tho! have you had your fogs tinted matt?

[Sean]

looks good mate. i'd keep the vts rims and paint them dark grey smileys/smiley2.gif

[dsh85]

i would have been tempted shaun but i already had these smileys/smiley17.gif maybe i could go for an anthracite change on these one day smileys/smiley4.gif

[ne_jam]

ill have to have a look nxt time ur staring at it lol and admire my new car smileys/smiley2.gif

[Yates]

Certainly Have....

jam - yeah u should hopefully soon i wont be staring anymore and driving smileys/smiley17.gif lol

[Dan]

Looks awesome dan, how much did it set you back?

Get the pics up with the wheels on.

Id go for smoked rears, put the standard fuel cap back on too.

[dsh85]

cost the best part of £3600 of which i blame you dan, nax and his bro for making me have to go out and get one lol i aint got the standard petrol cap with it so dunno how that would be sorted altho i dont mind the aluminum one with silver paint

[Yates]

never seen any like mine b4 smileys/smiley14.gif

[dsh85]

i think ive seen one because the paint had come away abit i rember seeing! cant remember where tho!

[Dan]

Scotty_vtr with the black vtr had his done and the paint was coming off his. Will have been when we did the angel eyes.

Not a bad price though dan. smileys/smiley2.gif

[dsh85]

thought it could have been him! must av bin then. yeh i was happy with price just cant wait to get it outta the garage at the end of the month! tried taking sum pics with the 16s on but with the shoddy cam i been using they aint v.good will try again in better light!

[dsh85]

/members/dsh85/BC5ZE_vtsx1003.jpg

the lighting wasnt good enough and the rest are not too good! someone needs to borrow me a cam lol the look mint tho smileys/smiley14.gif

[Sean]

i prefer the s rims to be honest mate smileys/smiley9.gif

[dsh85]

dohhh smileys/smiley3.gif lol

[dsh85]

/members/dsh85/6C38Z_vtsx1008.jpg

this better sean?? ive shown too much now smileys/smiley17.gif

[Sean]

don't get me wrong mate, they look good, but i've got a thing atm for vts wheels (no gay comments please) and the only wheels i REALLY like in 16's are oz superlegs/super-t's and speedlines. so sell the 16's and powdercoat the s rims anthracite, because you know you want to really smileys/smiley2.gif smileys/smiley17.gif

[wideboy]

Looks like it sits very nicely Dan mate!!

But you know you need to get those bad boys painted...or get some lightweight mofo's smileys/smiley2.gif

Roll on the new year

[dsh85]

ohhh it does sit nicely plus that was 0n a slight slope with handbrake on so should be a bit lower over the rim smileys/smiley14.gif i tried my best sean but i guess i cant tempt you from your vts rim fetish smileys/smiley17.gif

and yes roll on new year when it comes out the garage smileys/smiley4.gif

[Dan]

Looks great dan, need to see a pic of the whole car. You can borrow my digi cam if you like?

[dsh85]

[shauns_saxovts]

wheels look good mate smileys/smiley2.gif need to see a better pic from the side to see the true picture lol smileys/smiley4.gif

[dsh85]

do you mean like all of the car? the cam couldnt fit it all in lol from were i was stood. im sure it only cost a fiver or summit so i guess its got its moneys worth smileys/smiley13.gif

[Dan]

Yeah that'll be good dan. Looking forward to seeing the vts. smileys/smiley2.gif

[ne_jam]

[Yates]

Have to agree with Sean on this, they are nice wheels but i prefer vts ones, i dont really go for 16's i think 15s are the best for me\

but still very smart, im going to have to get my arse down for the next meet

[dsh85]

thats cool matt all comments are welcome good or bad smileys/smiley17.gif i loved the s rims tbh but i prefer these now match up well with the car colour! and yeh you need to get yourself down to the next meet wanna see the motor!

[dsh85]

matt i dont think ill ever reach that level you know smileys/smiley2.gif

[Dan]

Looks very nice dan, smoked rears would look great but some mk1 rears would suit it too. smileys/smiley2.gif

[Sean]

looks very nice with those wheels on Danny, but then i would say that smileys/smiley2.gif smileys/smiley17.gif

[tgazvtr]

those wheels are lush, they suit your car down to the ground smileys/smiley4.gif

[dsh85]

sean - soon changed your tune lol

[ne_jam]

this car looks very smart i reli need to cum and have a look smileys/smiley14.gif

[aldo_vtr_1]

[dsh85]

dare x1's mate! cost £600 with 195/40/16 tyres, locking bolts, delivery and flush fit valves although it got knocked down to £540 because of them messing my order up and delivery a few times!

[dsh85]

matt im still waiting to try your rear lights on at the meet lol smileys/smiley17.gif then ill decide although ive found a set that i like and that aint seen very often but pricey at £130

[SeriousSaxAppeal]

Could you plz tell me

1. How much your car is lowered
2. What size your alloys are
3. Where you bought your Dare X1's
4. Any rubbing on the tyres etc...

smileys/smiley4.gif

[Yates]

alloys are 16's mate

i think its lowered about 60 all around not sure

did u get your wheels cheap from someone on ssc or is that someone else im thinking of?!?!

yeah il let u slip on my lights mate

[ne_jam]

they are 16's on profile 40 lowered 60mm and i dont think hes experianced scrubbing yet bt i think hes tryin to keep people out the back lol

[wideboy]

Lovely Danny mate!!

I reckon smoked all round would look lush!

Next on list...engine mods! Body works done and dusted smileys/smiley2.gif

[Dan]

Looking good dan, you'll have to pop over an show me lol

Smoked rears would be cool, fuel cap needs changing to standard. What are these other rears you've seen????

You'll get no rubbing on 195/40/16's even with a 60mm drop and a full car. smileys/smiley2.gif

[dsh85]

Could you plz tell me

1. How much your car is lowered
2. What size your alloys are
3. Where you bought your Dare X1's
4. Any rubbing on the tyres etc...

smileys/smiley4.gif

1. 60mm all round on spax psx kit
2.16's with 195/40/16 tyres
3. www.topgear.co.uk
4. none so far had one person in the back succesfully just a little bit of catching on full lock but nothing to worry about smileys/smiley17.gif

matt - look forward to trying the lights and no it wasnt me who got the wheels from ssc

joe - was thinking that myself just a few paint touch ups maybe id like to be done on the car

dan - will have to sometime or with the meet coming up if boz cant make it ill come pick you up and i think ill keep shush about these lights for now smileys/smiley17.gif also i didnt get standard fuel cap witht he car so that may be a bit of a problem smileys/smiley5.gif

[Gav]

just seen thread. finaly got one did ya m8. well done. can keep up now. lovin your car with them alloys on. looks clean. are you keeping the front splitter black as it looks good like that. i wont see you at the this meet maybe next time.

[dsh85]

yeah ill be keeping the splitter like that smileys/smiley14.gif i personally blame you, your bro and dan for making me get a vts lol you should try sneak out for a bit nax get yourself to the meet

[Sean]

danny those pics look really good mate, really liking those wheels now, the car sits perfectly. will look even better in the flesh smileys/smiley2.gif

[CHRIS84T]

Totally loving the car like bud. Best i seen in a while. The subtle look is well cool. Wheels are class 2.

[Gav]

yeah ill be keeping the splitter like that smileys/smiley14.gif i personally blame you, your bro and dan for making me get a vts lol you should try sneak out for a bit nax get yourself to the meet

yer thats right blame me. whats it feel like driving the vts than the vtr. will try and get out.

[dsh85]

thanks chris and sean.

nax its like shit off a stick smileys/smiley17.gif defiently notice the diffrence although the adjustable spax suspension is set to hard so it can make it a bit of a bumpy/sickly ride sometimes

[Gav]

in your pic in the signature the colour of the car looks diforent but cool. wonder what colour it is. its like a goldy silvery colour. have seen it before on another car like a volvo or mirc.

[Aled]

I'm likinig that alot smileys/happy.gif whats the ride like on the Spax PSX kit?

[dsh85]

its not bad mate but like i said its set on hard at the moment and bumpy roads can make you feel a bit sick smileys/smiley11.gif ill get round too changing it one day smileys/smiley17.gif

[Aled]

haha shows that i can read smileys/smiley5.gif lol smoke tails and side repeaters smileys/smiley4.gif woop and some 1.1 badges

[dsh85]

yeh the 1.1 badges are defiently a must have smileys/smiley17.gif i still cant make my mind up over the smoked lights i think the clear side repeaters blend in with the colour coding

[Dan]

I think the smoked repeaters would look nice especially with smoked rears too. smileys/smiley2.gif

Its just quartz silver aint it Dan the colour of the car?

[addictedtosax]

this might sound a bit strange but imo it would look nicer if it werent colour coded, would work a treat with the smoked headlamps and the tints. The silver and black theme is very nice smileys/smiley16.gif smileys/smiley2.gif

[boz]

i would stick with the standard mk2 rear lights mate, suit the colour smileys/smiley2.gif

shes looking really good smileys/smiley2.gif

[kevvts]

looks mint mate smileys/smiley16.gif

[dsh85]

yeah dan its quartz silver. there was an arctic steel silver but thats from 2002 on i think so quartz it must be. cant make my mind up over these lights at all lol hopefully will get to try a few at the meet with some pics then decide smileys/smiley17.gif

dan i think you should be my cameraman for the day seen as i dont have one smileys/smiley17.gif

[dsh85]

its been a good while since i last updated this thread
not too much has changed looks wise to the car due to money needed elsewhere! but there has been plenty of pictures took

sweet car, i'v only had my black vtr (well driving it) for a short while but already thinking of selling to purchase a mk2 vts, but damn there so expensive, well good example are anyway, i would want another one in BLACK though, love it.

[dsh85]

thanks G!

reef how do you mean so expensive? i found that insurance wise at the most it cost me an extra £300. in the end i paid £950 fully comp, all mods declared, 21yr old, 1yr ncb and 3 years driving

[Sean]

looks lovely in that pic on the move, and looks gorgeous in person smileys/smiley2.gif i still prefer the vts wheels, only on my car now smileys/smiley2.gifagree on having the back lowered maybe another 10-15mm just to make it sit even, it looked really good when you had the vts rims in the boot smileys/smiley2.gif

[Yates]

i know what your doing smileys/smiley14.gif

[Dan]

yeah i love that pic ^

just wish it was a little lower at the rear. one of my plans may make that happen. my other plans are to have a bodykit and all round neons fitted soon

theres should be a couple more small changes in the next couple of weeks ill get pics when i can, also just fitted a pipercross panel filter

[coylzer]

what make are your wheels and would you not colour code the bottom splitter. it would make the car look a lot lower.

[Robb]

Thats so smart.
One of my fav. saxo's for sure...

What wheels are they? (Saves me looking throught the whole thread)

smileys/smiley20.gif

[dsh85]

ive thought about colour coding that bit yes could be a future plan possibly smileys/smiley2.gif

the wheels are dare x1's lazy smileys/smiley17.gif

[MikeCracknell]

looks shit

[Yates]

looks shit

he speaks the truth

paint it wicked red

[MikeCracknell]

looks better on pauls car

[dsh85]

hi paul!

it will never be wicked shed!

[MikeCracknell]

hi darling

dont forget my prezzie tomorow

looks good though chief

[Yates]

link (http://www.saxosportsclub.com/forum/SEURLF/ASP/SFS/THREADID.291224/FORUMID.1/SFE/posts.htm)

danny here are your wheels on a wicked red car, they just look shit imo

they suit your car down to the ground and i love them on it, but they just wont work on any other colour

[DannyB_VTR]

dude your car is gorgeous!

[Robb]

Hmmm, its true they dont look as good on wicked red.

Yate5y dont spose you have a picture on a Posi blue?

[dsh85]

i dont think they look too bad matt! there in 17s on that car and look much bigger than mine

thanks danny and g_ride ill pm u a pic smileys/smiley2.gif

[Baz]

looks as good as ever danny! smileys/smiley4.gif love it

[Robb]

Just got your PM danny, does look better on blue than red.

What size are yours? I'd probly go for 15's...

[dsh85]

16s mate! i think that design on anything smaller will look cluttered up, theres an exact same copy of them wheels in the mvk 10's my mate has them in 15s and i wasnt too keen tbh!

[mark16v]

Danny, smoked rears and the colour coded boot lock look well sweet. Not a lover of silver cars, but your saxo has changed my mind, looks the daddy mate. Stick with them rims, sweet smileys/smiley10.gif smileys/smiley10.gif smileys/smiley10.gif smileys/smiley10.gif smileys/smiley10.gif smileys/smiley20.gif

[Robb]

Hmmm, I can see what you mean. Might have to do a bit of research. They're reasonably cheap...

G_ride mine cost £600 with 40 profile tyres

[Robb]

£600? Jeepers...

I had a quick look and with 45 pro's (that could be why) they were £400 and something...

[dsh85]

yeh and to be fair the 600 was including delivery, locking wheels nuts and flush fit valves smileys/smiley17.gif

[Gav]

lookin good danny. i wouldnt post any more pics up of your mods to do until the fcs. keep it a suprise m8.

[wideboy]

Tidy as fuck danny mate, the lights suit it down to the ground!

The bottom of the front bumper would look good colour coded too I reckon

[Sean]

[Dan]

Gorgeous matey, love your car Danny! One of the nicest around imo.

[dsh85]

[dsh85]

thanks for the comments

[CHRIS84T]

Think the whole car is one of the nicest i have seen. Whats the plans for it then, engine wise??

[Yates]

what about a darker colour allots danny? or u just keepin them same colour?

[dsh85]

i love the shine the alloys give when clean, i couldnt change the colour and especially now im going off the darker wheels look for some reason, engine wise i have no idea really, only modification i would fancy is a manifold otherwise it just needs cleaning up, a few covers and a strut brace etc

[yorkie]

well mate nice one!!!

and i do not think u of all peeps need idea u can build a nice sax all on your own!!!
and as for the vts thing its all getting to muy for me to getting vts engine in mine soon i think!!!!

[dsh85]

and i do think u of all peeps need idea u can build a nice sax all on your own!!!

[yorkie]

[riggsy]

dont go darker wheels wont suit it mate, keep what you have they look spot on!

love it!!

oh i know what you could do, colour code the front splitter.

[dsh85]

thanks mark

i still am a little unsure about colour coding the bottom splittert sometimes i think it goes well with the car, one day maybe :p

[hesslevtr]

stunning as always geordie

i think a dark grey alloy would suit it like that photoshop you sent me that was stunning

[Danes_SaxoVTR]

Looks perfect mate, i would only do engine mods now!
Top job all round!

[dsh85]

a few changes! sold the install it was fun but i didnt realise how much loosing the space would affect me! plus who needs all that extra weight ;) oh and also decided on a new set of wheels

[dannyjay]

Awesome matey. :A:

[Clouds_mate]

nice...

[AdamW]

Shiz.....

[m20pub]

nice i enqired about mine at my local body shop and he came up with these prices.

they include paint and labour

bonnet ( stone chips over at as some nob did a donut in this gravel car park and flicked stones up at 6 cars i was one of them) £135
front bumper (as above and splitter painting) £65
rear bumper (2 deep scratches in it) £65
door (some one egged it and chipped paint off) £95
arch (came off on m6 and scratched 2 fuc) £35

are they good prices ds8h in comparasion

[Mystic]

Looks great mate, if u delock the doors and use ur fob to unlock, what do u do when u get a flat battery in the car?

[m20pub]

Looks great mate, if u delock the doors and use ur fob to unlock, what do u do when u get a flat battery in the car?

the boot

[hesslevtr]

i would of de locked the boot

but looks good

shame its slow

[Mystic]

the boot

Yeh, i meant assuming u delocked the boot aswell. would it be possible to break in2 ur bonnet to swap the batteries? :shock:

[Yates]

Dan - prices dont seem too bad, labour will be cheaper if your getting them all done together

[Yates]

i would of de locked the boot

but looks good

shame its slow

gettin boot lock done looks good but you cant weld the hole up as the bits plastic and welding would melt it

if i had a choice i wouldnt get my boot lock done again, plus if battery goes u have no way of getting in to car, unless u carry a battery around with u for the fob at all times

[m20pub]

Yeh, i meant assuming u delocked the boot aswell. would it be possible to break in2 ur bonnet to swap the batteries? :shock:

ppl who do that would usual have a buttom some were hidden on the car or under ect that would relese a door or bonnet ect

[m20pub]

Dan - prices dont seem too bad, labour will be cheaper if your getting them all done together

yeh thats what i thought as i went to a bigger body shop after that and he said theres no point me quoting you as we wont beat it

[RIBstaff]

Prefer the vts wheels tbh mate

[Karl]

were you @ Trax?
if so I liked your car there too.
looks mint :) x

[Yates]

yeah he was at trax, i take it u didnt see his stone chips at trax

[hesslevtr]

is it dirt or can i see 5 holes in your boot danny

[dsh85]

nah you dont paul!
yeah i was at trax mate! you didnt get any pics you can send me did you ;)

m20 the price is in the before thread i paid, id expect the more you got done at once the cheaper it will come down in labour!

[Jonny_H]

engine looks well clean!

[Yates]

engine looks well clean!

its not its dirty as fook

[dsh85]

it is now actually its covered in dust, but it gives me something to do ;)

[Sean]

it is now actually its covered in dust, but it gives me something to do ;)

[Dan]
