Not long passed my driving test and this is my first car. I have alot of plans for it but i guess it will take time. The main thing being lowering! needs doing badly lol (does it effect insurance?). So anyway heres a few pics i took today after i gave her a wash, couldnt polish her up becoz it started to rain :( but anyway....

That is sat really high mate!

Car looks good though, not overly keen on alloys, eye brows or meshed grill and I'd get rid of petrol cap then lower it.

i like it mate, whats your insurance on that 1.4, and have you done all that work yourself or is it how you bought it?

10th March 2007, 23:35

is it me or is ur exhaust too short?

Viper

10th March 2007, 23:42

you need some mirror caps on.. go to a scrappy :y:

and, as luke said, its riding VERY high. lol. i have nothing against the mesh grille OR the eyebrows.. lol

Luke

10th March 2007, 23:44

Oh and another thing you asked.

Lowering does affect insurance, who are you with? You will find that most companies won't charge much more if anything if you are 40mm or under.

11th March 2007, 08:15

are the brows a dif colour mate?? i think the wheels are alrite actually and it will look a helluva lot better when the ride hieght goes down !!!!! loose the petrol cap buddy

Mark51

11th March 2007, 08:24

Its pretty cheap actualy. Its still on as me as a secondary driver, just not had alot of time to change it yet. I got a few quotes though and it sounds about £1200 all in. The Car came as u see it not pretty much, not done alot to it but planing on so in the nest few weeks.
is it me or is ur exhaust too short?
I think its the body kit on it which makes it seem like tht ;)
you need some mirror caps on.. go to a scrappy

and, as luke said, its riding VERY high. lol. i have nothing against the mesh grille OR the eyebrows.. lol
im a newb to this stuff, pics of mirror caps? Yeh main thing i want to change, the height!

Liverpool Victoria im with mate, i hope it doesnt change it too much il ring them and ask.
are the brows a dif colour mate?? i think the wheels are alrite actually and it will look a helluva lot better when the ride hieght goes down !!!!! loose the petrol cap buddy
Could be yes, they do look slightly darker and could do with a spray. I quite like the petrol cap! everyone seems against tht look tho :bored:
get it lowered - pm me if you want it lowering
will do mate cheers

11th March 2007, 12:23

gokan

11th March 2007, 12:24

nice sax lowered

Mikey

11th March 2007, 12:45

not a bad car pal!!!

just get it lowered around 60mm.

Hopcraft

11th March 2007, 12:46

definally needs lowering, how can the bodykit make the exhaust look short...lol, its too short, end of.

Predator_R32

11th March 2007, 12:50

exhaust needs to be hung right, brows need to be took off, standard fuel cap back on and de wipered

and its a good car until its lowered then it will look spot on

Mozza

2nd June 2007, 19:08

ok changing the lights on it around next week (depending on when they arrive) + spraying the mesh grill black along with the alloys and badges, will get pics up soon.

nathb84

2nd June 2007, 21:01

Is this car set up for off roading? It sits really high, has it always had the VT kit on it? A few tweeks and it will be a nice motor mate

Mozza

2nd June 2007, 22:46

cars always been like that since i bought it, not done any mods apart from the ICE, trust me i want to lower it and asap! but low on money to do it at the mo so i guess i have to wait a lil longer.

Mozza

6th June 2007, 09:02

small update:

rear lights have been ordered and should be here by friday/ sat, they are: http://www.abcdesignltd.com/Details.asp?ID=2825625&Pic=ProductImages/AFX-SAXO-BL.jpg

started on spraying the alloys last night with my uncle, was going for satin black but there was only 1 tin of tht left so went for matt black instead.

i will get better pics up soon when its all finished, we only managed to do two of them last night, doing the others on thursday.

took off the badges and sprayed them last night too, what a nightmare it was getting all the double sided pad tape off the car!! deffinately easier to T-cut them i think lol, but im pleased with how they turned out:

Mozza

6th June 2007, 11:22

Steve

6th June 2007, 11:27

Mikey

6th June 2007, 12:14

looking good brother.....blue with black rims!! like it

Mozza

8th June 2007, 09:21

finished off the rims last nite, couldnt do the grill because it seemed a little fiddly to put the mesh grill back on. Any ideas as to the best thing to use to put it back on once i have sprayed it?

BENSAX3

8th June 2007, 10:12

cheers for the comments ppl :y:
im removing them when i get my new front lights, until then i guess they can stay on a little longer :afro: would no more nails work to stick it back on then?

would look better with black mesh imo them rims suit in black thought first possi car wtih black rims i like, spot on!
i will probably do it at some point over the next few weeks, its a costless job as i already have the paint, just time consuming a little i guess but yeh its all gd :y:

wheels look great, now all ya gotta do is slam it.

alangti

9th June 2007, 12:13

k2thecsaxo

Mozza

9th June 2007, 20:03

Emma_ZS

Predator_R32

9th June 2007, 20:24

dont like the rear lights at all, needs lowering and the headlight eyebrows need to go

other than thats it looks great

mallboy

9th June 2007, 21:54

the car looks really nice. lower it and it will be spot on!!! good work:y:

plimmer-xsi

9th June 2007, 22:10

after a few years u could chuck a gti engine in it and it would be a frickin rapid car! looks well smart though m8

Mozza

15th July 2007, 16:23

Nothing too big this month, realy low on cash so cant do much :( but iv managed to get the front grill now sprayed black to follow on the theme :) was originaly just the standard colour and looks better me thinks. Now all i need is the chrome citroen badge and im sorted :) If anyone has one then PM me please :y:

Anyone think a blue sunstrip would look good on my car? Im not keen on the idea but could be persuaded otherwise, made a photoshop thread to try and get the image of what it could look like.

Edit: will get them up tommorow the comp is being a bit temporamental :homme:

Mozza

16th July 2007, 14:24

well being the clown i am i only hosted the pics with it being done and not when its on the car, will sort out other pics soon:

Thoughts on chrome effect number plate surrounds?

jablitt

16th July 2007, 14:42

dont put on a chrome effect number plate surround, they look minging. whats the air filter doing attched to the air box?

tidy car though. save up to get it lowered!!

Stefansaxo

16th July 2007, 19:09

looks nice just needs some lowering

great job done!

cheers for comments :D

Payney

16th July 2007, 21:04

Take off the brows on the headlights... And don't put chrome surrounds on, they look gash.

Mozza

16th July 2007, 21:07

fair play, going to change the number plate tho its a bit dull. Brows will come off once the morrettes are on dont worry. Lowered is next priority tho which will either be in the next month or sept depending on how much my insurance decides to bum me wen i to re new it.

Mozza

26th July 2007, 20:20

Ok so after a long long time of desperately needing to get rid of the clown interior iv now finaly got a new set thanks to L1UKEVTR. Just the ones i was after and goes well with my all black & blue theme :)

Got them last night, fitted the rear bench there and then, tonight we did the front seats along with the mirrors (story to follow). Gave them a quick hoover before but will get better pics up when iv gave them a good clean along with the rest of the car.

Opinions?

Ok so i wasnt in desperate need for mirrors, the previous owner had knocked the passenger one out of place and covered up the damage with insulation tape. I was reversing out of the drive this morning and just so happend to catch the passenger one on the gates to which it was lodged between it and.......well, took it pretty much clean off! So i got some replacement ones for now until i have the money for better ones, tbh i still think they look pretty nifty but want to go for the ones without the hole in the centre.

Anyway well chuffed with the seats, i think they should clean up nicely. The mirrors were an added bonus, just lucky i had the cash to get them!

26th July 2007, 20:37

really nice.. my girlfreind like the seats.... nice progress.. keep us all informed

saxo_jim

26th July 2007, 21:24

did you not fancy changing the seat belts?

Mozza

26th July 2007, 22:08

did you not fancy changing the seat belts?
I ordered them from someone on this site over 2 weeks ago so im struggling with them at the mo but there hopefully going to be with me soon :) It will look better when they are in tho, cheers for the comments guys :panic:

Love the black wheels!! Could go to manic motors in East Boldon (newcastle/gateshead) to get it lowered £125 for the springs and fitting. Or I can get you a Shock/spring kit then you'll have to get it fitted.

Hate the mirrors but apart from that and possible rear lights its looking sweet!!

What make are the wheels?
