are 106 chassis the same

[woodsy]

my idea is

a 106 gti front on my mk1 vts

obviously im needing

wings, slam panel, cross member, bonnet, headlights, bumper

would it be a esy bolt on job, very handy with spanners but wanting a new look ... what do you think

[Predator_R32]

yes chassis is the same but with different body panels

think you could put a front end on but wouldnt be a simple job

[babers]

sure they arethe same mate its just the body pannels that are different.

[woodsy]

forgot about the arch trim

not a big job that though ... what do you think on the looks,

[Predator_R32]

well if your putting wings on then maybe it will work, im just not sure it would match with the side panels on the door

i think the best thing to do is to get fron and rear bumpers and get the arches to blend in with them, then a bonnet slam panel and headlights and it might work but it wont be an easy job will be a custom job

[babers]

sure i have seem a picture of one done befor and it looked really good

[woodsy]

well if your putting wings on then maybe it will work, im just not sure it would match with the side panels on the door

the only thing that wouldnt match up is the arch trim to the side skirt

but will all the wings just match straight up and bolt on

sounds different mate :)
you crashed your Sax or something?

[woodsy]

na

had angel eyes ... bored

had standard lights ... bored

got morettes ... bored

want a new fresh look

[babers]

you may have to drill some holes as i dont think the panels will use the same mounting point.

[Predator_R32]

no i meant use the saxo arch so it blends into the 106 bumper

[djrem]

it would be easier to get a 106 and change its boot and rear lights to a saxo.

[Karl]

Please dont commit a Saxo crime woodsy, your saxo is flippin gorgeous atm!

[Predator_R32]

it would be easier to get a 106 and change its boot and rear lights to a saxo.

i agree with that :)

[woodsy]

i dont want to sell my saxo its mint and i know its been well looked after by me and the previous owners (all 2 of them) one being a woman too

just contemplating it and getting prices

unless people can come up with a better idea for the front end???

[Gower67]

woodsy sounds like you got a good idea there

sounds really different if your handy with the tools and dont mind being without your car for a couple of days id go for it mate
good luck

[fuzzy_orange]

Mate this isnt hard to do

Fit the front slam panel, bonnet and bumper - that'll give you all the mounting points and front end look you want

Arches - put 106 gti ones on and just bond your saxo arch extensions to it

They work quite well with the 106 gti front bumper

Checkout www.10sax.co.uk - its my mates site and the gallery has pics of a 106 with saxo arches but 106 front bumper

It looked awesome!

[babers]

that look cool mate. shame its dead

[Gower67]

that 106 looked wicked hmmmm "plans for the van in my head"

[woodsy]

the front arches do look ok with the 106 bumper

really considering it now ...
