Schmitt modern lines are the way forward, they are like the wheels on the white car but the spokes curve towards the outside of the rim the cut back in, hard to describe, but they are the best one piece euro wheel imo.

Google search them and they come up on the images...

Looks like?



Nicole, if you are able to drop the front 20mm physics states than the exhaust will scrape less ;)

nicole_ 25th June 2010 14:46

dont like those wheels either, like xsi wheels blown up a bit :p
and bick, you are right lol..cus itll be level rather than bottom down :D duhhh
really want to get it down soon, does look funny now
and the drivers sides 10mm higher at the back but no-ones noticed :p

Bickerton 25th June 2010 14:47

What suspension you got on the front?

nicole_ 25th June 2010 15:06

well its looking pretty standard like lol, 60mm springs but thats all but think theyve been on a while as its pretty low compared to bens which is 60 at front too.
ben was talking about making some coilovers but i dunno

Bickerton 25th June 2010 15:11

Can't really go wrong with the GAZ gha coilover kits, seem to be available for about £250-£300 if you keep an eye on 106oc for group buys etc

Tom_Crx 25th June 2010 15:15

Tbh nicole, i think it would be a shame to change the wheels, they really suit the car and maybe when its abit lower and even put some spacers on, they will fill the arches more and look perfect

nicole_ 25th June 2010 15:18

yeh was thinking gaz ones, got more important things to get first so will shop about for coilies.
no way im putting anymore spacers on it,
ive got 20mm on the front and 35mm custom ones on the back, i dont trust the 35mm ones as it is lol!
borbets are just done to death now, i only put them on as i didnt have anything else. ive got two options for wheels now but its a secret :D dont want anyone copying :oops:

garner90 25th June 2010 16:33

Why don't you do what you was originally going to do with each wheel a different colour?

geordie_alex 25th June 2010 16:58

What about a set of gotti's, you would be really differnt then...

fastroadkid69 26th June 2010 00:11

i like it has it is nicole, it looks belting already, but i no wot you mean with there being lots of borbet about nowdays.

5AMBO 27th June 2010 18:05

i think it looks great on the wheels you already have to be honest. not so sure on the red badge tho.

Lew_C 27th June 2010 18:08

your car is stunning now nicole :D

Liams1 29th June 2010 08:33

looks sic apart from the alloys imo (y)

The larger size modern lines do that yea 16" and above
I'm pretty sure that White saxo is on 15" ones and the spokes run straight on them

Yea the modern lines are different to the ones on the other white saxo, there looks like there is less of a dish but they actually are wider than the origonals.

Caino 29th June 2010 09:07

i think this car is one of the nicest about.. keep it has it is, well maybe lower front a bit more but looks sweet in all white and i like the red badge

yea the larger sized modern lines are like that in your link

but that white saxo is on modernlines the smaller sized ones differ to the larger ones

http://images.forum-auto.com/mesimag..._bild2_gr5.jpg

like that

tbh i think its more to do with the offset and the angle of the spokes but the diameter seems to be the largest influence in what ive seen
14" ones allmost look flat across the spokes

nicole_ 29th June 2010 10:00

well whatever they are, theyre fugly wheels :D
and cheers guys, i know what wheels will replace them but wont be for a while and theyre very different :)

Caino 29th June 2010 10:01

oh what are they ? tell :P

nicole_ 29th June 2010 10:03

well i dont think ive ever seen them on a saxo, so i'll keep it a secret before someone richer does it before me :p lol

chadlcfc 1st July 2010 00:21

this is beautiful, everytime i see a fine example like this i wish id have bought a Mk1, they are really growing on me.

Yellow_Saxo_Paul 1st July 2010 00:35

One of a few cars that I actually like on this site, alot of hard work has gone into this by both you and Ben :)

stokesy 1st July 2010 19:05

cars looking very nice on the borbets..
dno your thought on rim tape, but a nice red strip round the borbets would look very nice imo, with the red chevrons, someone on here had a white saxo, white borbets and done it, cant remember who though, and it looked very nice, just a thought..
but cars looking very nice anyways :y:

stokesy 1st July 2010 19:58

http://www.saxperience.com/forum/sho...hlight=borbets pics near the bottom off the 1st page, think really suits the car, imo would look goood on yours

nicole_ 16th July 2010 13:07

yeh thats jamies stokesy, saw his just after id done mine! lol i dont think the red can stay as its going to clash with my engine bay plans...

bored so thought id update with a before, during and after so you can see how much work ben really has put into this.
honestly this car was a mess..
before, complete with gay petrol cap and cruise stickers galore:






during:




have loads baking in the oven but not on this laptop.
wet flatting:

and youve seen it now :D

J222JRA 16th July 2010 13:09

Well impressed with your work Ben tbh....looks done to a very high standard.

nicole_ 16th July 2010 13:16

nicole_ 17th July 2010 10:38

anyone have any ideas (bar red) for the badges colour as theyre going to clash with my engine bay so need changing :(

J222JRA 17th July 2010 10:48

Satin Black chevrons.....or even colour code them to make it all subtle....

Pieface 17th July 2010 13:54

Rainbow coloured badges! Then it can clash with everything!



Or Satin Black...
