Young driver who wants a VTS wants to put minor parts on 1.1

[Geoff_ONC_Saxo]

What sort of minor proformance parts that are cheap from a VTS can go on my 1.1 Desire?
Been considering an air filter for a start and maybe the exhaust (which I persume is a straight though) and the back box.
Any other lil bits?
Will the fog lights fit lol? I need a front fog as it is as one is dead and plastic casing cracked.

Honestly, its not worth trying to make a 1.1 faster. make it look nice, bit of a cruiser until you can get a vtr/s as the difference is massive.

i'd happily replace the brakes for vented ones though and put some nice alloys on :)

There's not overly much that'll go from a 1.1 to a VTS.

TBH, I'd wait, just to little visual things to what you have.

Alright cheers buddy for the advice. I just wants a VTS so bad bud the insurance is a killer on me :'(

So what you and the post above is pretty much saying wait until I can afford to run a VTS but do some lil body mods, vented brakes and allys on the car?

Yep, or just keep saving the pennies

subtle mods to a 1.1. You can get a VTR front bumper fitted which look nice. Nice set of wheels and do it up like a cruiser.

yes, you can get an induction kit for it, K&N do the best for a 1.1 and you can buy some decent backboxes for a bit of rasp, but save your pennies :) the westie/furio is a good step up, cheap on insurance and tax, but looks the part

I'm sure ill get slated for this but there's always the 16v engine conversion.....................................

Rather than spend money kitting up your 1.1, save up all your pennies and get a Westcoast/Furio. They're 1.4 8v engines, 75 bhp I think but with all the bodykit, arches and lights of the vtr/vts. Look the part without the insurance, but will still go better than your 1.1!

strip it out and lower it ,,,vtr conversion... will be nippy with a 1.1 gearbox ;)

I'd bung the standard VTR/S bodykit on the 1.1. At least it'll look like one even if it doesn't go like one - in my opinion it's better to have a nice looking saxo (I think the base models just look a bit 'odd')

Id just get a slammen soud system for now that you can put iin your s in 2 years time
