Welcome and whats the actual damage to it?

[vinnie_long]

my god whats left of that body kit is hiddious !!! one things for sure that little 1.1 has had a hard life

[DAMSK11]

Damage is front and rear bumpers are missing, so is the drivers side head light and passenger rear light, plus the drivers side wing is damaged as well as a few parts around the drivers side wheel (drive shaft, suspension etc.) shouldn't be to hard to fix.

[DeanAngell1234]

[DAMSK11]

How did you work that one out?

Body kit should look better once it has bumpers and is painted. Planning to widemouth a standard Vtr bumper and smooth a standard rear one. Shouldn't look too bad when I'm finished.

tbh i think u got a bargain strip the kit off and get it back on the road wont cost more than 400 if done urself id say and 51k is also good worst comes to worst u can make about 170 from seling the wheels and scrapping the shell. welcome

[DAMSK11]

Plans for the front of the car are widemouthed bumper and thinking some black angel eyes?
Back will be a smoothed bumper with smoked jewels and tinted rear windows.

Opinions?

[Becca_x]

What year is it?
And I reckon the angel eyes will look quality.
I don't know what to do to mine cause it's a desire as well.. but in green.
Definately looks a lot nicer in black.

I like pressed plates, I havent managed to keep a car long enough to get some yet though

[Stefan_Wood]

Car looks easy enough to fix up even if you dont know what your doing.

Full vt kit, Wing, light's, strut looking about £150 got a bargain if damage isnt recorded.

[chopsey-cheese]

white vtr wheels look good on a green saxo :D and i got a pair of steel pressed plates last week really worth getting i paid £26 on ebay road legal ones to save agro and got them in 3days make the car look smarter

[DarylCooper]

Looks slot nicer then standard IMO.

Does it run fine? :D

[DAMSK11]

So...Engine is seized on the sax so planning on buying another one maybe a furio and replacing engine and other parts.

[DAMSK11]

Pretty big update, got another saxo today, this time went to see it first to see if it started which it did so bought it for £125...Once again, can't complain. http://i1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee491/DAMSK11/Saxo/DSC_0110.jpg


I also took the grill off the old bonnet and decided to spray my chevrons black as well as meshing it. http://i1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee491/DAMSK11/Saxo/DSC_0115.jpg
