Saxo, best with/without kits

[t-dogg]

As the title says, I am just wondering what are peoples opinions on the saxo's, modify them with kits and wide arches or keep it basic.

So far I am after getting the following parts for €70, there for a 106 but I could make them fit a saxo.

Before people say the bumpers are "gay", convince me to get and keep a basic vtr/s, just resprayed.

When it was in fashion back in the 90's.. a kit like that would cost alot. So price reflects that no-body wants it..

Your shout, but kits are shite.

bonnet and lights will never fit.

[carlsmith715]

bonnet and lights will never fit.

they would fit if he got a ne slam panel and wings from a 106
correct if im wrong

[t-dogg]

So what I get so far is that people hate kits and I should keep the car standard. Post pics to show me what ye mean.

[carlsmith715]

just keep it simple and not over the top get some kind of splitter from some sort of car that looks smart and smooth it in. instead of the usual laguna and ibiza splitter
make it look different but bodykits do look over the top on a little car

[Morgzc]

Some kits can look good but that one is just shit, even the fast an the furious wouldn't feature that!

[t-dogg]

Sorry but the front bumper will proply be on fire in the next next or so

[nickuk]

No offence mate, but that's horrific.

[coleman258]

I appreciate the amount of work that goes into putting decent kits on but imo they are very out dated.

[emma281290]

That would look awful!!

[barlow135]

That bonnet is just really ugly. Would look ridiculous. Smart and subtle is best in my opinion but everyone has their own opinion I suppose

[kane_2010]

i think that you should keep the car as standard and do some subtle mods. but its your choice as its your car mate.

[GolfJay]

Ask now, subtle and smart.

Ask 5 years ago it would have been the kit.

Do what you want, not what others say.

[becky_89]

its up to you mate, you dont have to follow the crowd and do subtle if you dont want to, at the end of the day its your car and you have to drive it/look at it :y:

[Rudpud]

Appears the wagon rolled through.

Im not going to rant, everyone knows my opinions lol.

Try put it on mate, if you dont like it take it off :y:

[beckford]

kits were so 90's/early 00's, its your car, if you want them go for it but personally i wouldn't bother

[stevo67]

A no from me(up to you)standard vt kit looks the biz imho,these other bodykits look like jelly molds or like someones thrown a tablecloth over the car.

Steve.

[YourDreamGirl]

Personally its not my taste.. I think SOME full on kits can look nice, but that one isnt for me!

But as above, its your car.. If you like it, then fricking do iiitt :D

[UKtom]

again as a few others have said, theyre just so outdated.. such a stereotype for people who drive cars with bodykits now.. i think theyve become more of a laughing stock than a fashion item as i very rarely see people say "wow" at a saxo with a bodykit..
keep it standard with subtle mods to make it your own, and it will also be easier to sell when you come to sell it ;)

[t-dogg]

Okay, looks like everyone hates the kit, cant make up my mind, post pics of the sutle mods people talk about.

By subtle mods, they mean keep the car looking standard and be a boring fuck.

Mate, just do what you think looks nice and any ideas you think of! If youre copying everyones subtle mods you may as well be driving a standard car anyways! Think of how you want your car if money wasnt a limit, and do exactly that cause that way it'd be original :y:

[Lewiswhitlock]

If you like it, do it...people on this site are too concerned with whats up to date! There would have been a time when OEM was coming into play...

[dunno]

as other people have said before its up to you, imo stealth is the way forward but some people prefer body kits.

I will say thought please dont keep those colours if you do decide to fit it, I really dont think it would suit a saxo.

[Morgzc]

Have a kit, just not one that looks shit (Like the one you have now). Dimma, JWRC, warrior all look nice imo.

[t-dogg]

Update on the parts, picking stuff up on saturday, not using anything apart from lights,
Might be geting this.

Just to let ye know, i am buying a 106 now.

[vtr_matt1983]

if you really want to mod i think the vt kit smoothed out de-badged and de-handled nice steels slightly lowered looks great not ott just smart

but as said above if you like the kit its your car and your money brother worst case you dont like it take it off and sell it

[Venns]

Not into the big body kits allthough sometimes they look alrite, if you like it tho give it a go. The bonnet and headlights wont fit tho.

[FlightcranK_VTS]

If you get one cheap and the stuff for 70 pounds is, then go for it. Having a Saxo that looks like all others is pretty boring. Just an example, you want new alloys, like 90% will say go VTS wheels all other wheels look stupid. Go your way and make the best out of it.

[MiniGibbo]

Fit it and fit it well, so many cars on here and most forums are boring as fuck :homme:

Nah man, we all haz to have standard looking cars to blend in with each other.

Subtle mods don`t have to be boring,I think saxo`s have had a bad rep for being a chav wagon,largely due to these overboard bodykits,to name 1 mod.:y:

+1, spot on steve! :hug:

[tingaling]

That kit above would look alright if it wasn't so big the arches look huge

Its just the scene atm that annoys me. People dont seem to like anything that stands out any more.

[stevo67]

Its like everything though mate it`ll come around again bodykits will be in vogue/fashion again some day.

Steve.

[t-dogg]

Bad news for people who like the kit, I got my dad to test drive a 99 106, hated it, going to get a saxo, vt kit it, spray bmw white, slam it, nice alloys.

So not getting the kit now and the fella hung up on me when i told him, will do a photoshop of what I mean.

This is how I want my car to look

[stevo67]

Except for the bonnet & mirrors it looks cool.

Steve.

[t-dogg]

the bonnet i think is made of fiberglass and the mirrors, well, uh, they will not have the indictors on them.

[Venns]

Bring back the 90s, remember the classic Ali G renault!

[joe333]

Body kits are gashhhh!
