Hi, first of all I've always adored the 106 gti and saxo Vts, but never thought I'd ever own one, as I've always been a vw and vauxhall nut. However I've recently bought a saxo vtr in black on an 02 plate, which has a custom exhaust on and a 4 branch manifold, and has also been fitted with a Newman cam. Its also just had a load of engine work done, which reassures me the mileage of 115k isn't too bad as its had loads spent on it a folder of receipts! It came with a really good set of team dynamics monza r alloys which really set the car off IMO, as I'm normally one for the standard look but on its nuts lol. Grown a bit tired of the low and slow philosophy now tho, and therefore this is only lowered 60mm. Car came with a decent size dent on rear ns quater which I plan to sort out. There will also be a blue show cage up for grabs on here soon as its not to my taste. Got a car bra to keep however for shows and that.

All in all am totally impressed with the cheap insurance, how bloody nippy this and the fuel economy is excellent!! Not one for going flat out evrywhere but enjoy a good pull to 70 etc. parts good and cheap too.

Probably missed loads!!

Will get some pics up this weekend once got the dint sorted and wing mirror caps colour coded as previous owner sprayed these to match the cage....

Thanks for the welcomes dudes! Decided I'm gonna keep the bonnet bra on today, change my mind like the weather!! Did all my painting today, except the rear towing eye! Which I couldn't be bothered to remove the rear bumper as had a bad experience....had a knocking noise on the front and my mate works for Citroen who always fixed my cars for special rates, diagnosed as an offside drop link. This was extremely bad and now has worn the near side droplink, which has been on less than a year! Never mind £20 quid spent and the near side getting done tomorrow. Pulled some of the dent in the rear quarter out the day, doing it all properly tomorrow and will then polish up and that and post pics!

Cheers lads. Totally going to have to start a thread off. Bodywork is not the best by far dents all over and nothing to do with me either!! But blackened headlights and yellow fogs win it in my eyes like!!
