Andyc123 14th January 2010 00:47

Another Quick update!

Decided that i quite fancied some professional tints all round.

So took it too 'OG tinting'

Did the whole lot today. 40 - backs / 35 - fronts

Looks really nice & subtle. There still moist at tha mo. Pics tomorrow.

Whilst i was waiting we de-wipered the back,

Also A friend of mine was selling an amp... But not just any amp.

Its a marks & spen.. Lol! .. Nah its a Audison SRX2

What you think? 200? 250? ..

£40! Sold! Anyways, i shall wire that up and sort some comps out next!

Sorry its long read pics will be worth it tho ;)

C&C Andy

Andyc123 16th January 2010 12:00

im going today to see about getting the plastics colour coded plus few other bits!..

But im abit unsure of all red. or gloss black..

same with the headlight inserts, Black or red!?..

Whats everyone reckon?..

Andy

saxo_ron 16th January 2010 12:26

The wicked reds dont look right fully colour coded, go gloss or satin black for the bump strips

Andyc123 18th January 2010 00:37

Bodywork plans are sorted!, but iv found a set of wheels id like!,

But unsure wether there too big or not!,

Borbet A's
9J x 16 Rear
7.5 x 16 Fronts

its lowered 50mm all round, So i dont think its gunna rub!, Just dont wanna make it look stupid!.. Iv seen saxo's with 16'' Borbets on, just not 9J at back!..

Could anyone shed some light into this please?
Andy

saxo_mike 18th January 2010 00:46

at a guess it'd be verrrryyy wide, waj on corsa-c ran 9.5j banded steels but only used them once for trax as they were so unpractical lol

Andyc123 19th January 2010 16:09

low low low..
 
Right iv brought a set of coilovers today!

vmax coilovers arent very good tbh, if u go low with them ull have problems, there just rebadged raceland stuff!
Seen 9's on a saxo afew time aint to wide if u get the offset right and maybe abit of tyre stretch. Tbh though wide 16's dont look right on a saxo, ill try & dig up a pic from years back of a silver vtr/s on 16" Keskins, with 9's on the rear. Looks good when zoomed into the wheels but looks to tractor like when viewed as a whole. Narrow borbet a's work becasue u can still drop the car enough by tucking the wheels, like jamie OLD vts or yorkies car. The guy who had the saxo ended up selling it and putting them on a new fez!

They're exactly the same kit as i had and that was terrible. Worst thing i ever did to my car! And they only stopped on a week, they were shit.

Sorry to sound negative dude. I'm sure you're car's gonna look nice, but i'd seriously talk to AlexB or LeeVTR if you want the kit to work as they have some experience :y:

Yeah too right! Thanks for backing me up mate.

Not once have i said Heres my EURO VTR, Iv just fitted new wheels, And asked for peoples opinions on them, Because i dont want it too look euro'd.

Just because someone may have a roll cage, Doesnt mean its a track car?..

Iv got banded steels, So what? Its a Daily road car.
