is it completely standard? I'd keep it that way to be honest you'll find it much easier to sell (and even though it will have been) It will looked like it hasn't been ragged ;)

joey_harrison 2nd January 2010 12:40

yeh completely standard ;) want it 1200? lol
hmmmmmm i do really want a black one though, very tempting

I have about £1000 to do it up in january, was just hoping for some suggestions on how to modify a saxo without it looking chavvy, i want to get it lowered and a couple of other mods but not sure on what mods to do.
help haha.

1. Don't stick Lexus lights on it.
2. Don't stick ripspeed alloys on it.
3. Don't stick the biggest/loudest exhaust on it.
4. Don't put colorful flashing lights in/on it.

dont keep it standard. the ride height for standard saxo's are cringing

joey_harrison 2nd January 2010 13:08

ha, so general views are no lexus lights, no stupid exhaust where people can hear you in enough time to get ready before getting picked up lol and no ripspeed crap, why is ripspeed hated then?

hells yeh mate, definately getting it lowered :) but gotta fix the head gasket first (if it is that) :(

LSOfreak 2nd January 2010 19:18

ripspeed is like halfords own brand and halfords generally come up with some laughable products to stick on your car. ye so in general , no chrome/bling , keep the colours subtle, keep things looking smart. nothing wrong with how loud the exhaust is tbh. i love a loud one. jusst try not to make it look out of place

Azza-VTR 2nd January 2010 20:35

I have two things on Chav car list :p

Azza-VTR 2nd January 2010 20:35

Whats wrong with Lexus - I recon Black Lexus look nice but Chrome is a no go :n:


BambiHan 2nd January 2010 20:48

I much prefer subtle mods to ott stuff. On my car I've changed the wheels to gloss black vtr ones, changed the side repeaters to crystal black ones, and changed the rear lights to crystal smoked. Got a different exhaust but nothing particularly loud. Not lowered it yet, have been thinking about it but will be selling it in may so might leave it.

to be fair i do like them, but they aren't really generic lexus lights, much more subtle and better looking, think they are almost nearer to being jewels :)

joey_harrison 3rd January 2010 12:12

What lights do you recommend? Do you reckon maybe just smoke the standard ones?

Oh yeh i added a quick pic of my car :D will go out for a proper shoot soon.

Ben_L 3rd January 2010 12:26

looks like mine did when i picked mine up :y: mine had the mirror cap though :P


1st things first...shorten that anti aircraft ariel. then i'd do what i've done to mine really...black lights all round. backbox. i'd say lower it (havent done that yet meself) maybe dimma grille?

joey_harrison 3rd January 2010 12:33

ha, mine doesn't have the bloody parcel shelf either... and ive already had to fix the ignition barrel lol and either my head gasket or thermostat has gone :P ffs, but i still love it...

Ive seen a thread about a shopping list for 2010, so heres mine:

1)need to fix some unknown problem with my brake and reverse lights.
2)either head gasket or thermostat (how could i tell which ones gone?)
3)lowering springs :D
4)smoked lights
5)smoked side repeaters
6)refurbish my alloys to black :P
7)parcel shelf
8)speakers (sub,mids,upgraded door speakers)

damn it, how can i afford all this lol.

joey_harrison 3rd January 2010 12:33

Dam, if only that water was a bit deeper :P


Nah, The black ones aren't bad, but I prefer standard smokes rear lights tbh.

But yeah, it's all down to opinion, if you want a chav car build it and dont give a F:panic:CK what people think, as long as you don't act like a chav you'll be fine.

The main thing is that your having fun and that you like your car.
:panic:

joey_harrison 3rd January 2010 12:49

true... im having fun in it now without anything done to it :)

can not wait to get it lowered :D

samueljonburgess 3rd January 2010 13:08

depends what you want out of your car and what you want it to look like at the end of the day....

joey_harrison 3rd January 2010 13:18

just want it to look damn sexy ;) which it will... all in good time :D

joey_harrison 3rd January 2010 14:11

oh yeh, and there is a crack in my windscreen which i am fixing now lol damn it

joey_harrison 14th January 2010 20:58

Hello hello, quick update for anyone that cares ha :P
I had my car back for about two days and when it was very cold my car wouldn't start, was wierd sometimes I could start it and rev it for about a second and it cut out again. Took it to the mechanic and he said it could be the valves or just the fuel pump :( dry times. But as soon as it fixed I will get it lowered and some other things :D (if ICANN afford it lol.
I miss it :(.
Soundddd

Lew_C 14th January 2010 21:00

oh no! bad news indeed mate.

I actually like those wheels mate,
your car would look nice lowered and with different lights, and without the rear window tint or mudflaps imo :y:
