1.1i Silver Flatarch

[liamface]

Hi all,

Thought it was about time that I started a Progress Thread!

I purchased my Saxo 1.1i Flatarch in November 2010 for £650, when I bought the car it had done 109,000 miles, and is now currently on 110,210 miles.
Beinng only 17, insurance was not good for me, and cheapest quote I could find was around £3000. After having a look around I managed to get it down too £2000.
I have only been driving since January 5th 2011 :y:

Here is the car, and the minor mods that I have done to it so far. LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK:

[saxomax]

nice base to start with mate y not dewiper is spray the insides of ur front lights smokes jewlers and ur on to a winner :y:


p.s change ur exhuast mate

[tomsmarty]

Looks good, nice seats ;) Agree with the lights, made mine look better :y: Il do them for you if you want? :)

[liamface]

thanks, I thought about dewipering it, but I really like my rear wiper it comes in handy, I may do so in the future and depend how I feel.

With the exhaust, it was on the car when i bought it, changing it is an option, but its just a case of having the money. and it does the job for the time being :)

[liamface]

SMALL UPDATE:

Thought it was time that I went and got a SunStrip fitted, so here we are!

I Originally decided on a plain Black!

http://img856.imageshack.us/img856/5889/sunstrip.jpg (http://img856.imageshack.us/i/sunstrip.jpg/)

After I had got this fitted, I discovered that it was too plain and boring for my liking.

I went for the 'RockStar Energy' logo in the passenger corner!

So, here it is:

If i was you i would de-wiper it and get a colour-coded tailgate trim. There are a load of silver saxos down dunkerton scrappy they will have some.

[tomsmarty]

[m11ler]

Ah what a nice guy lol

[liamface]

thanks for all the comments, and all the suggestions I will seriously consider!

m11ler: i've spoke to tomsmarty about this, and I am waiting to get some money first lol.

shannon-ob: yeah thats right lol, from the Bath area, have you got all the VTS interior into your car now?

DanJames: ohh rite, is that the football pitch in the high-street or at the big hall? I'm really thinking about de-wipering it, however I really like using my rear wipers lol. could meet some time?

[DanJames]

By the one in the highstreet, you ever seen me about?

You should definitely dewiper it aswell man, I've had mine done for ages now and don't even think about needing it. All you do is use the rear de-misters instead they do the job:-).
Meeting up sounds good. Tom was on about going to a trading estate on the weekend for a photoshoot with a few other guys from round here.
You still doing that tom?
