Here are the final plans for my car, hopefully to be finished by middle of May time.

- Front Components with Sony Xplod AMP
- 206 Aerial
- VTR Mirrors with Caps (sprayed to match)
- Tidy bodywork up ie new clips, touching up
- Giving the car a full once over
- Clean engine
- VT* Interior
- Spray Centre Console & Air Vents
- Install inverter for my laptop smileys/smiley17.gif (fix to back seat)
- Smoked Front Fog Lights
- White or black badges
- Put all stickers onto car
- New vinyl strips on door pillars
- MK2 rear wiper
- Spray front splitter
- Strut brace
- S/S backbox

All the above changes are quite subtle. Really need all the time and weather i can get though so it can all be completed.

I have a few ideas still floating around but will decide later.

Comments welcome...

Sounds good Westie!

...what's a 206 aerial though? Is it just shorter than a standard one? And when you say "put all stickers" i guess you just mean sax-p ones? smileys/smiley17.gif

Leckie - read Jay's post about the hair straighteners - dunno about "welcome" though...!

What about lowering?????

Exactly what I was thinking. The plans on the list sound good, but i'd get it lowered first mate.

I have got an interior now guys, pick it up Saturday morning. Its the VTR Green fleck one, in great condition.

Like i said, i have other ideas that i am keeping quiet at the minute.

Lozi - Yeah 206 aerial is much shorter and it looks better than the standard Saxo one. The sticker issue, will be that i am going to put my sunstrip on, a little oval sax-p sticker and some FrenchSportsClub stickers.

Hehe...quite excited about the finished look.

Sounds very subtle.

Lowering is a must tho smileys/smiley14.gif

I might aswell say this now people.

Lowering - I think my car would look good lowered, but....I think i want to be different and leave it standard!

I honestly like the look of my car the way it is.

Well i have not got some VTR mirrors with caps.

Stickers...i need advice! Do you think the sunstrip will look good on my car? I have one here waiting to be fitted.

Sunstrip? unless its a saxperience one...i'd say no way mate!

Sounds like good plans, but I'd still get it lowered!

Luke
15th March 2006, 02:38
Yeah its a Saxperience one mate. Meant to say that.

Lowering - I am having seconds thoughts about that smileys/smiley17.gif

UPDATED LIST OF THE PROGRESS...

Since i started this list the following has been done...

- Full VTS Interior
- Centre console sprayed (to be fitted)
- VTR Mirrors with caps
- Richbrook aerial in black
- Engine (half cleaned) Rocker cover needs completing

I think thats all at the minute. However, i can't afford to get it lowered before the FCS show now as my driveshaft (i think) is on the way out, my exhaust has bloody gone and i would rather spend money on getting it show ready (ie cleaning gear etc). I also need 2 new tyres on the back next month.

Better to get it tidyed up and looking good, than have it lowered, but looking tacky. Good call smileys/smiley20.gif
