my black sax vtr

[carlsaxosport90]

right i have had my vtr for about a year now and it has changed quite alot since then so i thought i will make a progress thread, i know its a bit late like but here goes.

this is what it looked like just before i bought it

[carlsaxosport90]

the first thing i bought for it was a dimma grille, primered and colorcoded it.

[carlsaxosport90]

pic after i fitted the dimma grille, then i rented a garage out to change the front wheelbearings

[carlsaxosport90]

then i bought 106 gti interior for £120, then fitted them

[carlsaxosport90]

i bought some 106 quicksilver doorcards for £30 then fitted them.

[essexlad]

like the interior, think i might do that my self, easy to fit ? i.e doorcards just a stright bolt on ?

Looking good. Love Black VTR's

[carlsaxosport90]

bought my self some coilovers off here never again lol, their didnt come with springs and didnt have any strut top bearings and had the wrong hubs on
120 coilovers
50 faulker springs
30 pair of vtr hubs
30 for the wheel bearings

so anyway got them all set up then fitted them on the car

[carlsaxosport90]

yes mate gti interior very easy to fit its strait fit all that you will need is the bracket for the rear seats that holds them together when you fold them down were their split, and door cards are also quite easy to fit, the holes should be already marked all you need to do is put the door card in place and drill the holes.

i bought this 106 dash off a lad who was breaking his gti came complete for 30 quid

[carlsaxosport90]

pulled my saxo dash out

[carlsaxosport90]

i needed a few bits and bobs to get the 106 dash to be mounted in proply and to get the buttons and heater and stuff working but got there in the end i enjoyed fitting it, i love the 106 dash with me being 6.5ft tall it give me loads more leg room and looks a miles better dash imo

[iVTR]

That steering wheel is sex mate, liking it.

What is it do you know?

[carlsaxosport90]

it was a cheap momo lookalike one mate off ebay think i paid 50 quid for it.

[carlsaxosport90]

i love the 106 rallye and always wanted some rallye steelies for the sax, anyway i dropped my spare wheel cage down and the spare wheel was a michelin rallye steelie with brandnew michelin pilot tyre on never been used, so i needed to find 3 more phase 2 vtr's to get the spare wheels off them, it took me a few months but i found them in the end.

[carlsaxosport90]

when i got all the spare wheels i took them in to romax wheels to get powder coated, and took my cam cover in to get done aswell.

[carlsaxosport90]

went down to citroen and bought some berlingo centre caps, and i also bought a full set of tapered bolts for the wheels and some plastic bolt covers then fitted the rallye steelies to the car.

[carlsaxosport90]

bought some new 106 mirrors manual ones this time, instead of the electric gti ones, and colorcoded the mirror caps.

[carlsaxosport90]

then took the front bumper off and i started to cut the lats out of my front bumper

[carlsaxosport90]

fitted a single wiper and i bought some 20mm bonnet raises because the wiper was catching so i trimmed the raises down and fitted them and the wiper clears it nicely. and also a pic of my mates polar white vtr.

[carlsaxosport90]

and now back to the front bumper i filled the holes in with fibre glass

[carlsaxosport90]

then filler and a sand

[carlsaxosport90]

then i got bored and desided to debadge the boot, so i took the badges off then filled the holes with fibre glass and filler and then a light sand

[carlsaxosport90]

then i painted it but done it with the paint i had lying around i was suppose to be a gloss black but looks more matt lol, need to buy the colorcoded stuff!

[carlsaxosport90]

anyway to finish my dash off i bought a rallye badge for it and 106 window pillars.

[carlsaxosport90]

i bought a rallye steering wheel then fitted it, and thats my nephew driving lol

[carlsaxosport90]

and this is how my sax stands now, you cant see them very well in the pic but i have fitted nosey cunt door badges aswell.

[carlsaxosport90]

more progress to come, ran out of funds at moment!
