Some of you may have been aware, i was considering selling my Furio.

As the days passed by and seen that it was hardly getting any interest.

I Decided to Part Exchange,

GOODBYE FURIO

Chris_F

30th September 2006, 09:02

Dont worry danny, wont be putting any plastic and chrome crap all over it, if thats hat you meant haha.

subtle all the way, the more standard the better they look.

wish i hadnt colour coded the furio to be honest.

dannyjay

30th September 2006, 09:07

saxooxas

How much did the car cost you?

GTI_Lee

30th September 2006, 12:58

very nice mate!

Chris_F

30th September 2006, 15:14

Payed just short of £2500 + PX

Plans......

Smoked front and rear lights to go back on, bit of a struggle getting the headlights off the furio 15mins before i was supposed be picking the vts up.

Lowered 50mm or 60mm aint decided yet.

Spray VTS wheels black, unsure yet.

Under bonnet goodies.

ChrisJ

30th September 2006, 17:55

New car looks nice. If it finishes up half as nice as the furio, it will be gorgeous mate.

Baz

Luke

2nd October 2006, 09:17

Thought I would bump it up mate.

Looks very nice, some good plans you have there. Like I advised you on MSN, don't go any lower than 50mm otherwise you will lose a decent ride.

Keep us updated and I'm very jealous..!

Smoked fogs and maybe some anthracite (sp?) wheels, would look pretty tastey next mate.

adamsax

10th October 2006, 17:53

Looks luuuurvely Chris. I've learnt so much from my first sax and if I were you I'd leave the outside just like that!

Concentrate on the engine matey.........

Looks MINT!

Luke

10th October 2006, 17:57

Awesome.

samcook

10th October 2006, 18:01

Chris_F

10th October 2006, 18:03

Nice matey, I wouldnt spray the wheels black or anthracite though its too common.

dannyjay

10th October 2006, 22:09

Very nice car you have there! Maybe remove the 16v badges, and paint the rear badges black and the outsides done me thinks!

vtskid

Chris_F

16th October 2006, 00:05

Karl

30th April 2007, 10:06

wow - very nice!!

VTS_16v_Boy

30th April 2007, 10:22

Stunning - Still cant believe how much just changing the wheels on a car makes Sooooo much of a difference.

They suit down to the ground the lines of the Saxo - Lose the 16v quater badges to clean the lines of the car and Wet'n'Dry or Tcut the 'Citroen' 'Saxo' boot badges FTW :y:

Exhaust is next I reckon - Personaly Please dont spoil it with a Magnex, They sit wrong need triming to sit right and just look poor for the money

http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i277/turpin2000ad/MagnexExhausts.jpg

Maybe go for the Piper 4' Slash cut - Just looks 10x better IMO

http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i277/turpin2000ad/PiperSlashCutExhausts.jpg

Sits much nicer than the Magnex, but the slightly bigger tailpipe isnt to everbodies style tastes

Chris_F

30th April 2007, 11:40

Hmmmm not in any rush for an exhaust just yet, but i really like the oval looking exhaust that sit flush to the bumper,

i like the look of the magnex but as youve said im unsure about the way it sits.

dont want anythin to big and no no to a jap style.

ChrisJ

30th April 2007, 11:46

Love the wheels Chris mate, Spot on.

boz

30th April 2007, 11:51

Chris_F

17th July 2008, 07:15

Not updated for a while due to having a bump on the rear side of the car,
Woke up one morning all is fine, decided to have a drive into town and stopped off at asda on the way, picked up a few things, and as i was walking back to the car i saw that just under the petrol cap it looked kind of strange.

As i got closer i seen that some idiot had hit my car and drove off,
Im still furious now & depresses me everytime i see the dent.:wall:

Finally got the car booked in at the end of the month,
Then time for the modding to begin again! :y:

Heres a few pics of the dent, pics dont really do it much justice, but in person it looks worse :n:

Luke

17th July 2008, 07:45

Did you sell the speedlines?

I think you need some more S wheels on it.

What mileage she on now? Didn't you buy it on 11k?

Chris_F

17th July 2008, 08:34

Cheers lee

Luke....yeah got rid of the speedlines, cos i was thinkin of selling the car last year, decided against it and now once the dent is sorted gonna start doing her up again, a few plans in mind, so keep eyes on the thread hehe

Ive got some wheels lined up for the end of the month, ill keep it quiet until then, you will be one of the 1st to know ;)

Yeah bought her at 11k on clock, she now at 19k.
