Just had these photoshops done, What you reckon?

Im thinking either anthracite or matt black

Getting a set of cyclones at some point!

DusheR 3rd November 2009 22:09

Think it would look better if the bumpstrips werent colour coded.

Think a lighter colour for the wheels would be better, either that or polished. Just my opinion.

Yea i was thinking of that too, really like anthracite though!

Do you just sand down and metal polish the alloy for polished rims?
Or is there a lot more involved?

Im going to colour code the mirrors too, might just keep the alloys silver

Any other suggestions?

Clarky_vts 4th November 2009 00:10

Chico999 4th November 2009 00:20

not bad just needs lowered a bit apart from that looks brill, cams run fine without a re-map but if u want the bhp and it to run spot on ur best with a re-map, i was running cat cam 708's and cant say i bad thing about them! brilliant mid range power when mapped !! wat filter u running in the enclosed?

Chico999 4th November 2009 00:55

I actually quite like the colourcodedness, kind of hard finding things that will go well with it, i will be colour coding the mirrors at somepoint for the full effect.

Getting aero wiper blades when i get payed, not much of a mod but my wipers are on their way out anyway

The rear will be lowered this weekend, driving with the rear end in the sky and the front on the ground isn't good, especially with angel eyes the headlights go about a meter infront of you :wall:

Chico999 12th November 2009 21:33

Just a quick update

Back lowered, bit too much so im going to raise it in a couple of weeks.



Bilstein B8 rears will be on this weekend

Hopefully getting a 4-2-1 this weekend too :y:

Anthony 12th November 2009 22:53

looks fine like that mate tbh :y:

Aero wiper blades look best mate mine snapped off and got me some of them i reckon its a nice little mod. Car looking very good after lowing back. Need some angels when i get the money dont think there cheap not sure whether to get black one or some like yours.

Chico999 13th November 2009 14:30

Aye am definently getting a set of aeros, workmates getting me them cheap ;)

Yea theyre not cheap, about £120 Brand new!

Im thinking about going back to standard headlights smoked, unsure if i want to go down the smoked route, done it on all my other saxos, looks damn good though! Dont think it would suit it with the colour coding tbh
Im thinking about keeping all the lights the same, and getting the alloys painted a slight bit darker than standard, not much though.

What you all think of that?

What would you do i you had my sax?

Chico999 13th November 2009 18:22

Chico999 30th November 2009 17:44

Thanks mate :) once i get the bodywork sorted it will look perfect!

Still undecided on the colour of alloys....

Bought a strut but it wasn't in a good way, got insured in my mums 2litre v-tec type S, not as quick as i thought it would be!

Chico999 21st December 2009 17:03

Got a VTS alloy off milky last week :y:

Cars looking braw now!





Fixed the Wheel bearing, very very close to the wheel coming off, scary thought!

Just needs a new driveshaft now :y:

Kev_Vtec 21st December 2009 18:47

Chico999 24th December 2009 12:46
