alright ladies and gents.
I currently own a 1.4 furio. Completely standard when I bought it.
So far I've added VTR Wing mirros and a Stainless steel powerflow exhaust.
Next I wanna get some VTR wheels which I can easily get, then I wanna lower it. but which springs are the best to buy to lower a furio? I dont wanna completely slam it, between 30 and 50 mil will be good.
Also, My engine is really rusty, whats the best way to get rid of rust? and is it a worthwhile procedure to clean under the bonnet?
... and also... induction kits.. which one would be best to buy? i wanna make it sound real sweet.
Last question, ( i swear ) where do people buy those colour coded bee sting aerials from?
Much love! X X X

Induction kits, go for a performance pannel filter in standard box with cold air feed if you want good performance gains. Or for looks raceland enclosed kits are good IMO.. stop heat soak and give good BHP gains
aerials are easy to get from halfords or internet...
Springs.. depends on budget,, Gmax and Koni are good for there money.. if you have tight budget http://www.dvbcaraudio.co.uk/citroen-saxo-lowering-spring-p-5461.html << those might be ideal

gmax are a good budget choice for lowering. pay a little more, and then you can get spax or other good quality makes. with the rear get someone who does it the correct way, ie, not the spline/click method. is the engine bay rusty? if so just sand the areas and treat with a good rust treatment, prime then paint. or is the rocker cover rusty? if so you can buy a new one and replace it and the rocker gasket too at the same time. if its just sound from an induction kit then an open filter like k&n or green will be ok, enclosed kits are better for "performance" but dont expect miracles. as for the aerial, ust get one from a 206 which is smaller than the original but dont look on my opinion, "chavy".

demon tweeks will probably have what you want but you'll be able to find the same item cheaper pretty much everywhere else ;)

hello mate,
i was just looking online at spax seems good so cheers :)
ermm on lowering the back, i know someone who can do it for me, something about it being difficult because of the tortion bar, and not being able to get the bolt out? could you or someone advise what the best way is to lower?
and its not the cover, its just the engine, and surrounding parts. so i will take your advice :)
