Ok, I dropped the boot off today to get painted along with a lot of other little bits to get powdercoated.

Then after a couple of hours driving I picked myself up these bad boys:



14x6j weller steels gotta love em

Comments welcome

6j is a bit narrow isn't it? Are you getting them banded?

Yeah 2" band

think this car could look sweet when its done keep up the good work

cheers mate, got big plans for this one

quick update. spigot rings and polished centre caps came for the wellers. also got a quote from bandedsteels.com so they should be goin in within the next couple of weeks.



and I've been making a lot of progress on my front bumper too



and ive dropped the number plate down and found a new home for it



it's just a rough idea atm. got alot of work to do to get it to the standard I'm happy with

comments welcome

I like the look of where this is going. I always thought it would look cool to shortern the boot recess but i've never seen one like the mental image I had pictured until this! I think it looks really smart mate!

This car is looking good nice :D

cheers. hopefully getting it back Saturday. along with all my engine bay parts. I'll keep everyone updated

Its looking gorgeous.. White saxos ftw! Like the boot.. I need to think of original ideas like that (and be better with filler)

haha I had a couple of spare boots and an idea in my head, and I just went for it.

it's really hard to be unique on the outside of saxos these days. lots of ideas for the interior though

UPDATE:

A few weeks ago I got some GTI leathers. there's a small tear in the drivers seat but they will get a retrim eventually.





team heko wind deflectors went on.



Saturday I picked up my engine bay parts and bootlid



bay before:


bay after:


also found a crack in my manifold so I will change that next week.



just need my shorter plates now and the boot will go on.





C & C welcome, let me
know what you think

Boot looks really good! You going to have a spoiler on there or leave it without? :)

I'm thinking about a black mk1 spoiler

I love this car, the colour is amazing and even makes me want to have a white car hbaha

haha thanks

Looks good! Youve put my faith back into colour coding my bay :y: Also, I was gunna do exactly the same thing for the battery cover, make my own with that weird flexi plastic stuff.. Great minds think alike eh ;)

thanks. all covers were pre made. google a site called 'get bad ass'

all covers come from there originally and are all really good quality.

Oh its chrome stuff? Not sure Im a fan tbh! But thanks for the linkage :y:

Ys it's all chrome, but I got it all powdercoated, problem solved
