Second mod - GTi Leathers.
http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b389/sideies2005/2009_06250026.jpg


Future plans are to get her slammeddd, Some starmags or ats classics with 20/25mm spacers to sort the offset/get abit of poke, Then a few bits smoothed :)

Comments appreciated.

[MasonVTR]

Im liking the look of those starmags, really suit the car imo :y:

[SamW]

Will look really good if you get it as in the pictures i really like the ATS's

[jamiecee]

starmags are tiday mate

[Bickerton]

Looking better than the 106 already fella :D

[Davo106]

There was nawt wrong with the 106. Just hammered it too much ><

Wish i had the gearbox off that though. :(

[Davo106]

Just ordered some wind deflectors, Waiting on smoked fogs + new Grille, and i think Andyjos is bringing his socket set down tomorrow so we can fit the front leathers :D

[Richy_Rich]

Liking this so far! Personally prefer the star mags!

Whats the difference like between this and ur old 106? I only ask as im looking at swapping over to a vtr

[AlexB]

fyi
ats classics are only available in a 13" iirc

however if your flush with cash look up htn rs alloys
come in a nice range and direct fit

i wanted a set

[Davo106]

Rich the difference is awesomeeeee. Do it :y:

Alex best not have been for the rat :P

[AlexB]

nah if you look in ancient threads of when i first got my gti youll see i wanted to go euro with it
was planning on some 8" htns all round

[Forrest72]

black car = win

[Richy_Rich]

But whats wrong with the gearbox? Is it awful?

But i can't decide between a gti or vtr have you tried them both?

[mathon]

Blimy! It's certainly a step up from your old 106, looks brill!

[Davo106]

The gearbox lets the car down IMHO. The ratios are far too long, If you put a shorter ratio box on the i can imagine it being even more fun.

[Marky_C]

Looks very clean ATS Classics FTW :y:

[Pugley106]

Like what you've done to it :P Lowering next? :)

[Proffitt]

Very nice Davo :y:

Get some pics up of ya front seats fitted :D

[Davo106]

Leathers for Tom ;)

New Favourite Picture:
http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b389/sideies2005/DSCF9181-1.jpg

[Bickerton]

Needs lowering

[Davo106]

... I know.

[Proffitt]

YEY :D All you need now is saxo 1.1 Desire door cards...they an EXACT match for the leather interior :)

Than pic is very nice :y:

Is it lowered?

[Davo106]

Already bought some Tom, Just waiting on them being delivered :)

Cars standard height atm, Got some -60 springs sitting behind me atm. Just need someone to fit them and do torsion bar to match.

[Proffitt]

Ahh your one step ahead :P

In the pics, it looks lowered a bit. How much do you want to spend on lowering? as i have a mate that lowers cars. And i also know a garage near me that does it to :D

[Davo106]

As little as possible tbh, haha. Preferably in a garage though so i can go back and shout if it goes tits up. Dont mind paying 100-150 for springs fitting and torsion bar done tbh.

[Proffitt]

I think Nigel at N.S Motor sport charges £120 for fitting springs and adjusting the torsion bar and he always gets the fucker out :y:

Number: 01492 549131

[Davo106]

Tom book it for me. I hate speaking on the phone :P

[Proffitt]

I'm in work atm. Just ring him up :P He not scary...but he does have a pony-tail...

[Davo106]

I have one too... We could be twins! :O

[5AMBO]

i like the photoshops mate but i think there are much better wheels out there that would work a lot better on the car to be honest

[Proffitt]

I have one too... We could be twins! :O

Exactly, you have something in common and you will get on with him :D

[Davo106]

Got any suggestions mate?

[shady22]

looks realy nice man

[saxomat]

looks nice

[Davo106]

Since i havent got photoshop anymore, Had abit of paint/photobucket action on the go and came up with this beast :)

When you gonna finish the photoshop and put some proper wheels on it? ;)

[Davo106]

Photoshop? haha. Paint FTW.

[GrahamB]

Red FTW

[Davo106]

Right went down Andyjos' way with my new camera today. Found out pc doesnt like camera though so have had to order a new card reader before i can upload my pics ><

Basically whacked the machine polisher on it trying to get it looking abit better so wayne doesnt have a heart attack or start crying when he come to sort my paint out properly. Came up real good tbh. Few scratches here and there but still impressed with it. :)

Fitted my proper dewiper bung off the old 1.1, and some new smd sidelights. Thats about it really as far as progress goes, My smoked fogs arrived, Waiting on my desire doorcards and wind deflectors still, and i still need to find someone with the 3 parts of the aeriel bung. Bad times.

[Rob-6]

looks good mate!

[Davo106]

Looking good kid, do the R wheels white for the time being. :D

[Bickerton]

[matt-391-vtr]

[normy_knights]

http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u86/andyjos91/davo/DSCF9356.jpg[/QUOTE]

THATS AWSOME!

[BLACK-VTR]

i dont think they do them ats alloys in any saxo fitment only VW's, i enquired about them awhile back when i was looking for new rims.

[andyjos91]

They dont make direct fit ones but you can get adaptors

[Davo106]

http://www.ybracing.co.uk/images/exhausts/QDPE726C.jpg

And also got some HIDs off Chiddy over on 106oc.

Cant wait till monday now :cool:

[titchster]

Just need the rest of the OMP system now mate. Sounds fucking sexual, moreso than a Pugsport, or Supersprint IMO.

[Davo106]

Titch dont suppose you have the video of joes old omp do you? Was it the same backbox? or did he have the other one?

[Bickerton]

needs lowering

[bobbybarr]

dude you defiantely need to lower it, like the gti interior mite be doing the same with mine

[titchster]

Titch dont suppose you have the video of joes old omp do you? Was it the same backbox? or did he have the other one?
No mate, no vids, but was the same backbox. Not as loud as a Pugsport IMO, sounds quite muffled, but my god it's sexual.

[Davo106]

Sure he has a video on his photobucket. Just need to speak to him now lol.

[Davo106]

http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b389/sideies2005/DSCF0138.jpg

Arrived this morning. Backbox will be here 2moz apparently, but it is YBRacing so fuck knows tbh.

[Davo106]

http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b389/sideies2005/DSCF0189.jpg

Night time pics are hard :(

Only pic i got without abit of blurryness in the pic. Would Putting like a 2 second timer as well as using the tripod help?

[Craig_B]

i never seen ats's on a saxo.

you should get them, they would look mint.

looking nice anyway

[Mark1]

Looking very good there :D

[benwh555]

Must be some more progress on this? Thought it was booked in for lowering the other week? Looks good so far thought :y:

[Davo106]

The front has been lowered. -60 just hasnt settled yet. Guy at the garage reckons the bolts are gonna shear on the torsion bar so im waiting till my week off work for that to be done.

Backbox has been fitted. Sounds awesome. Blowing a tiny bit though.

Fresh new plates and plate surrounds.

Picking up AX roof plug tomorrow to de-aerial it.

Whacky colour for calipers and other bits has been decided.

Bought Smooth boot trim, just need to paint it and fit it.

[benwh555]

Well look forward to seeing pics mate, should be good.

[AnthonyVTR]

Get a vid of the backbox up! :y:

[Davo106]

[andyjos91]

getting some good progress there.

when is the rear end getting lowered?

and what's next on the to do list?

[Rossi86]

looking good so far!

where did you get the wind deflectors from? pm me if you'd rather.

[Davo106]

Andy - ATM only rear plan is to get the arse end lowered, Then save some some starmags or something along them lines, Chiddy doesnt seem to think my car will be low enough to pull them off lol. Gotta respray them fogs and put them back together after Steff pulled them apart. Also gonna ring a leather repair company and see if they can tidy up my leather at all :D

Rossi - I'll pm you the link now :)

[tatws]

gti half leather interiors are starting to be a common place in saxos now

[Davo106]

Beginning to sway toward Lenso BSXs.

Andyjos is doing me a photoshop to see what it looks like, Im sure he'll post them up here when there done.

[andyjos91]

[Davo106]

Peoples opinions on which colour looks best?

[Wooly]

Love it beaner, just don't go for BSX's... Yes they're the cheap alternative to BBS's, but they're just not BBS's down deep. As I said on msn, Gold wheels with a few other touches, polished lip, super low profile tire, down on the front end more and you're only a winner.

[Bickerton]

Black looks best spunk muncher

[SaxoIOW]

the gold BSXs will look mint, go for them! Did you smoke the headlights yourself or are they new ones?

[D--R--E--W]

gold all the way

[Rossi86]

the bsx may be a cheap version of the bbs but they still look good.

its better than spending thousand on the wheels than the car is worth altogether on bbs!

[Davo106]

Exactly Rossi.

Payday today and already spent some of my pennies :)

Got some cleaning stuff; Gallon of QuickDetailer, Poorboys Blackhole. Sonus Leather Cleaner and Conditioner. Also got an ECU cover and Boot Popper.

i was thinking boot popper but not sure yet.

Oh and I think black wheels on your car!

[andyjos91]

we need more progress :D

[Davo106]

Ecu cover and a drink holder count?

[Mochachino]

Looks alright.

[Davo106]

Looks alright.

and there i was expecting some comment slagging me or my car off :ponder:

[Mochachino]

and there i was expecting some comment slagging me or my car off :ponder:

Nope. No point in carrying something on.

Your making good progress on it mate, looking smart.

[Davo106]

Fair enough mate. Before you spray your alloys, How much would you want for them green? :P

[Mochachino]

Fair enough mate. Before you spray your alloys, How much would you want for them green? :P

lol, im never selling these! Too hard to come by! :p

Wouldnt go with your Euro influence either imo!

If you like them id get some Xsara vtr wheels and fill in the lines on the spokes, would look good on a euro theme car. Clean fresh and simple :)

[Davo106]

Euro influence would go straight out the window for a nice set of compos tbh.

[Proffitt]

Ecu cover and a drink holder count?

Drink holder? Pics please :D

[Davo106]

Drink holder? Pics please :D

Will be the most bodged drink holder on earth, But i need one haha.

[benJee_VTR]

Looks really nice, liking the monthly updates. Plans sound good too :y:

[Davo106]

Will be scratch free 2moz :)
Cant wait to see what Wayne can do to it tbh.

[tatws]

likin the car alot mate :)

[Davo106]

http://www.saxperience.com/forum/showthread.php?t=251413

The lad is immense tbh. More of a perfectionist than me!

[andyjos91]

Car looked proper shiny at moddedNW pitty it was a shit show and we left before the awards could have easily won show n shine.

whats next on the to do list?

[Davo106]

Im not feeling the love very much for cars atm. Gonna get the arse end Lowered, Full service then spend abit of money on myself for a change!

[Proffitt]

Car was looking like a mirror at the "show". Wayne is thee man :)

You still after white vtr wheels?

[Davo106]

I could be Tom. Would you do a straight swap? or would you want abit more?

[Proffitt]

Well when i get my new wheels and sort tyres out for them i would prefer to sell them. Could just do a swap (if your tyres are ok)

[Davo106]

Mehhh Andy said you have to swap me anyway, so :fcuk:

[andyjos91]

what you dong draging me into this lol

and no matter what you say you know you will keep spending on the car its addictive you will change your mind at the drive lol

[Davo106]

Davo says:
seeing if i can swap with tom
Its small its fast its just gone past says:
that would be good plus it will stop him being tempted to swap back like he always does lol

Quoted for truthhhh.

Anyone know of someone with a desire that wants a VTR interior?

[ben-stringer]

thats looking good mate always like the euros bt cant afford that route myself lol

[Davo106]

Cheers mate, Not sure if im gonna bother with the euro bits atm though. Just gonna get it running perfect and get the rear lowered to match the front and leave it.

[Davo106]

Driveshafts on its way out, and some twat smashed my mirror off when i was at reading festival.

Stuff like this makes you think why you even bother tbh.

[saxokid100]

Looks good dude!! .......

[andyjos91]

[Davo106]

Haha... Just waiting on a reply bud. :)

[Davo106]

Wooop... Progress!! :)

Went to scrappy with Andyjos today to look for some parts. Mainly looking for some mirrors after mine got smashed off at Reading Festival.

Managed to get some 106 mirrors with removable caps. Just need to spray caps so they match colour of the car.

http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b389/sideies2005/DSCF0405.jpg

Also found these...

Desire doorcards ftw!

[Wooly]

Looks fooken noiiiice fella. Loving the 106 mirrors, always have thought they suit better than the Saxo standards. Also the desire doorcards set off the interior so much and look a sexmess.

PS. Change your wheels still.

[andyjos91]

looks good was defenatly worth the trip just need a wheel change now and cut that mesh so you can open your bonnet proper lol also no pics of rocker cover after i fitted it for you ???

http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b389/sideies2005/DSCF0427.jpg

[Wooly]

Love it. Still need rid of the VTR alloys though bud. And lower the rear nonce.

[saxokid100]

Good bit of modding there bud!!!:y::p

[Bickerton]

Either do it properly or not atall Andrew!
Mod it to a good standard or leave standard and keep it tidy, not this halfway house thing you rocking out atm all you will do is get pissed off and lose interest in the car!

/Rant almost over

You have a lovely detail done and you were well happy with it, i appreciate you had a few setbacks as of late but not worth giving up on teh thing, get it tidied sell then ugly ugly ugly wheel and dry hump it will you sore!

/Rant over

EDIT- And it really does need lowering

[Davo106]

Should be looking all ok by end of week Bick, Just need the bloody thing to run ok. Steffs giving it a full service, inc cam belt. Hoping it'll be running abit better after that, then all i need is a new driveshaft, think i might just wait for that to actually die though before i replace it.

[Davo106]

Actually pretty happy with the car again now. Just need the driveshaft sorting then i can carry on getting her perfect :D

106 mirror caps, Outer bit of grill, Boot plinth and Centre console have been sprayed Citroen Black.

[silversax52]

[Davo106]

Yerrr go for Lea, any advice/suggestions will be truely apreciated!

[CHIP]

remove all stickers including saxp ones..
remove wind deflectors
refit your saxo wing mirrors
get a smaller more subtle backbox :D

[E3D]

looks odd imo.

[readie]

i am inlove i think if you wouldnt of done this i would of they look so good lol

[Davo106]

looks odd imo.

What dya think looks odd about it?

Would just like to know...

[9Freedman9]

That bird is wearing some rascal footwear in one of those pictures...

[9Freedman9]

Cracking car btw lol.

[nicole_]

wtf is rascal footwear?
i rather like my boots tbh

[E3D]

just does imo, think its cus they look too small. dont think it really suits the saxo as well as the 106. coilovers at the front and slam more might help.

[LEE_VTR1]

in person they don't look really small and suit the car really well imo

[Davo106]

Pictures really dont do it justice tbh.

[9Freedman9]

[Bickerton]

You do know about fps and spinning wheels yeah?

[Davo106]

Yessssssss. i could have driven fasterrrr, but i dont fancy pissing all the neighbours off and having them moaning about me.

Going to get andyjos to help me with a decent video ;)

Alsooo loooks low in the video driving off, i love itt :D

[Ashleyp]

im not a fan of the euro scene atall tbh

but this is nice, sits really well on those wheels

im sure they would have been done before though :P

never the less sit back and watch the bandwagon effect now ;)

[lister_furio]

This car is mint, love the wheels, well looked after car!!! :D

[adam_baker]

looking really good mate, i love the euro scene, but have huge speed bumps in my area, by the look of it you have none for miles, or do you just avoid them? lol

[Davo106]

Dont have speedbumps. But i live in the mountains, we have potholes the size of sheep. Just tend to stick to the A roads tbh mate, its not that much of a problem. It'll be alot worse when the fronts down low too.

Thanks Claire

Neil, not VTS, JP4 FTW (or atleast a VTS with JP4 covers :P)
