hi, my names karl, from east midlands. Got my saxo in october last year. Its a 1998 1.1 expose with no mods currently but i've got some plans which are:

Lower it 70mm(already got the springs but looking for front shocks, message me if you have any for sale)
de-wiper the rear
spray the rear badges black
get some alloys, most likely some pug 205 gti alloys in black
put some gloss black 106 mirrors on
rust up the bonnet and put a bonnet bra on

anyway, here's some pics of how it is now and as soon i get the mods in motion ill put up more

Plans sound good. Intrigued about the 70mm springs since 60mm is as low as they go on saxos.

they were bought from a shop on ebay, read reviews and the rest and they seemed all good
i know some places make them lower cos a friend of mine had 90mm lowering springs for a 106

yeah they can definitely go lower on springs
there's a lot round my end too, but i guess i'll annoy everyone by going slow
small price to pay for the stance though eh?

I meant 60mm are the lowest springs you can buy without getting custom ones.

oh right, yeah they're from a shop on ebay that make their own springs, cant wait to get it slammed, just need to find the shocks

WELCOME....TO THE WORLD OF TOMORROW

In all serousness, dont worry about spraying your badges fella, an old rag, soak it and ring it out so its damp, Add some T-Cut, and rub away, the silvers just painted on the badges you see, the plastics black naturally

[Mordente10]

welcome mate.

as for the badges.. use nitro morse.. (REMEMBER TO REMOVE FROM CAR 1ST THO)

[RustySkull]

Welcome Friend.

[Shunter]

Welcome mate, Ive just done my badges I just sanded with fine sandpaper and gave it a few coats of halfords black gloss paint - each to their own I suppose. Enjoy :):y:

[Reece1591]

i used to have 70mm springs for my saxo but sold them for 40mm as i fitted vt kit and didnt want it that low lol easy to get hold of off of ebay.

and t-cut the badges mate so much easier and save them chipping etc.

[saxo-karl]

cheers for the tips about t-cutting, really didnt occur to me to do that whatsoever!
wheres the cheapest place to get shocks from?
