Cheap modify = Chav.

If you cant afford to, dont do it or you will look a fool.

[Jaytee]

Burn them rear lights is the chespest option and by far the best one to improve looks.

well obvously not you wetty LOL used to have red bull decals on it in the year 2000 but some bloke removed them recently, this is how i bought it, so im not planning to keep it like this obviously.

[Ciarannn]

All the big best mods cost money, there's no point in bodging or fitting cheaper alternatives.
If your going to do it do it right IMO

theres a few things you can do mate

Interior wise you could respray the dash parts and vents, replace pedals, gear knob gaitor, hand break etc. doesn't need to all be done at once just spread it over a period of time. outside maybe try getting hold of a set of pug wheels. there not overly sexy but wont cost much and ill look better then steelies. bee sting ariel is also a little lift :) and defo mesh front grille

[JAMason]

...i dont know what to say...your car is two contrasting bloody colors! What ever you do to that, it will look like its been in a crash and the panels have been replaced from a different car! Either paint it, or get the Bull vinyls back on so at least it looks semi decent! After that, dont spend your money on it unless your doing it properly! You can tell the cheap from the well thought about modifications!

[LSOfreak]

ok heres a fact: The best thing you can do to a saxo is LOWER it!

as its a flat arch slam it on the deck. you'll love it. and definately get rid of the tacky shite ie. the lexus lights lol

[ronaldo743]

hahaa yeee as i said ive just bought it and gnna have to make something of it as its my first car! Goin to take off the lexus lights, and goin to put dark smoked lights on instead next week. Also getting 2nd hand Black 15" alloys the following week. Was thinking of putting the redbull stickers back on otherwise people may think its been in a accident haaa, what do u rekon? and btw i dont take this car seriously, as you can see itss a joker!
