(All across my crossword i know :(

Now, choices in paint are between black and white

[Packham]

Plans sound decent.
Good luck getting all that done in 2 weeks, took me since October to get mine how I want it and I'm still doing little things lol

[Saxologist]

We can all dream, I won't be lowering it till mid june though :( Looking at meshing the grill atm :)

[Packham]

that's not bad i only lowered mine 2 weeks ago, yeah mesh the grill and paint the chevrons white, will look sweeet

[Saxologist]

I gave into peer-pressure and bought rear jeweled lexus lights, so i'm thinking black would be smarter. With angels on the front etc

[m11ler]

Wheyy, car looks alright mate, take off that desire sticker under the rear badge though if you havent allready

[Saxologist]

was debating whether to do it or not, was such a chore getting old glue off

Anyway after a days work...

Fit a new exhaust system
Fit an induction kit
Upgrade my halfords Sub and amp

[harveyg]

looking good mate
how much lower is that?

[VinceVTS]

looks good bud, vt kit would top it off loverly i think (only thing dont like are the angels, should of sprayed the insert on the standards black :) )

But yeah plans are good

[JoeHindle]

Get a VT* front bumper and imo that'll finish off the front end

[Packham]

Get a VT* front bumper and imo that'll finish off the front end

Or a Leon Cupra splitter and use my guide to fit it ;)

[dixon3012]

that looks really nice that like

[Saxologist]

looking good mate
how much lower is that?

It's 45mm dropped

Currently priming and sanding a new passenger wing

A VT bodykit would be hard to fit to a 5dr?

I'd love one tbh, would just a front bumber look okay? Or do i need all?

Cheers

[Reece1591]

looks like KrisB did yet again another good job ......

Let me know what i should do next, i do have some VTR alloy's which i'll be fitting in a few days, and a VT kit would be too hard as its a 5dr :(

Cheers

[Reece1591]

vt kit the front and then get 2 sets of side skirts and put them together to get the extra length and leave the back as a flat arch would look great

[Saxologist]

How would i fit the arches? just put the whole wing on?

[Blair-16]

http://www.saxperience.com/forum/showthread.php?t=55973

That'll tell you how to fit the front arches mate, Ill be fitting a Vts kit to my 1.1 in the next two weeks haha! Cant wait to see the out come!

I did, but when it rained, it messed up. I taped two, but my mum said you can get tyre paint from pound land.

So i thought fuck it.

love what you've done to your car mate, really tastefully modified! shame about the tyres, get some tyre shine or something and it should help.. your tyres look red atm :fcuk:

[Saxologist]

Yeah, my tyres look a tad angry, lol

My next plan is to smoke side lights and blacken 'saxo' side badge, not sure how to do this though.

Thankyou for your kind words :y:

[mcjacko1987]

looks good, nice bit of progress going there.id smoke the side repeaters. get some window tints and spray inside your foglights too.

[Reece1591]

Not sure how to smoke the sides or how to do foglights

How much is it to get window tinting (roughly) 2 windows

[Reece1591]

[Packham]

If you have some black spray paint just put a couple of fine coats on the side repeaters, that's what I did :y:
