trying SO hard not to thread hi-jack, so i think we better stop this one-to-one convo, but...
my car's a y-reg, so it's coming on for four years old. i have seen so many different engine bay pics and many have gone for different colour schemes. there was a red one i saw (rudi-ssc) and that looked lush. a lot of people have gone down the chrome root. i was looking at prices for chrome/alloy oil and water caps and they were something like �60 each!!!  |

frevo ordered the lights for me and they cost me 220 euro's so thats a good price...  I'm going to pick them up at his house sunday... I'm really curieus how the car handles after te lowering tomorrow... And how it looks.. I'll post some pics as soon as i get home.. For the engine bay, it was so clean when i bought it... I'm going to try to keep al clean an tidy.. With my former 1.4 i didn't and it looked as dirty as on your pic... I see u have a BMC.. Did u notice any inprovement when u fitted it?? Couse i'm thinking to trow the K&N off and get me a BMC as well.. My opinion is that an open air fliter sucks in to much hot air and thats not to good for the performance, I thinh a closed system like the BMC would work better.. I'll keep u all informed when i change something...  p.s. a little off-topic talk never hurt anyone.. |
Went to the carshop today for the lowering...
The front is lowererd perfect, but on the rear a torx-bolt was giving us a hard time and went dull....  Now i have to go back again next week and they are going to drill it out... So i'll have to drive in redneck mode for a whole week...  it looks terrible...  |
lol that does look nasty. what u got under there a 5l lump. i have a bmc and could feel the difo in 3rd and 4th alot more.

loving the lights one of the nicest saxs ive seen |

the car is looking very very nice indeed mate. i think you should look into purchasing some new headlight bulbs. as you can see, citroen supply saxo's with the standard yellow/orange look bulb. it will look 100 times better with a set of white/blue xenon bulbs. |
Yeah, i'm going to buy some other bulbs but i'm still thinking witch brand and type..
I heard wurth bulbs filled wilth xenongas are good ones.. but in the pic I only have the small lights (dont know how u call them) on and not the normal lights... |
yes mate, i know what you mean. you mean you only have the sidelights on and not the main headlights.
there are so many different types of bulbs out there. it depends what look you are hoping to achieve. the ones i have are called "philips blue vision". they produce a bright white light with a slight blue tint. some bulbs are not road legal and would therefore fail an mot. these bulbs would be clearly marked. |
I think i'll go for the Osram Silverstar +50%...
They are filled with xenongas in stead of halogengas and produce a brigt whitelight and should produce more light than a standard bulb.. For the sidelights i have some philips bluevision bulbs laying around at home or blue leds (but these are illegal ) |
nice one
 i have philips blue vision headlight bulbs and extreme white sidelight bulbs. |
Saw a pic of someone who had sprayed his foglights black on the forum and it looked great...
So i gave it a try as well, and it worked out just fine...   |
i have to say Martijn, that does look REALLY good!
how is the suspension now? is the rear still high? joe |
did u buy the front head lights or did u mod them. if not wonder if u can diy them??
|
that looks awsome
i need black headlights so bad |

 I´m going on a vacation first and when i come back it´s going to another company for the rear.. |

Just heat the glue up with a hot air gun or hairdryer and use a flat screwdriver to open it up... Just don´t use to much force or the glass wil break.. |
might get some lights from the crappy. yours do look well nice.
|
Sweet...
|
i might be getting a proper set for �40. is that a good price.
|
how did you get the foglights apart i tried heating them up and cutting the glue couldnt manage it though
 and ones a tiny bit cracked |
aye pm us how ya did the foglights pls as i ave the headlights and my car is pure black... lights exhaust tints .... u get idea lol
foglights would finish it off ps very tidy car mate nowonder ya went for that one ! |
Yeeeeehaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</font>
Finally the rear of my sax is lowered!!! I'm so happy!!!   Now save for some new wheels... |
looks wicked mate. personally i would have gone a little bit lower at the rear but it does look a lot better
|
Quote:
But this already looks better then it did before.. First im going for some new rims and maybe then i'll drop it some more.. But compared to this it looks a lot better now... from this:  to this: |

|

|
bingo! looks even better now my friend!
|
Thanx peepz!!
|
Looks very cool.

Hello mate. Your car looks well good, i really like the subtle approch. Want to go down the same lines as you just never really had the money. Most of the things you got, i wanted, bugger.
What size and kind of wheels are you going for?? |
Quote:
I'm thinking of these wheels, the Keskin KT3 and then get the center sprayed in dark antracite when the are off the car in the winter..  |
