damn reli didnt notice this at fast show

shame the area was small didnt get a chance to see everyones car,

get a new door and everything is ok no?

yeah i picked up a door a couple of weeks ago, just need to colour code the side bumper strip on it. Have not had the time to fit the door yet but hopefully will be on by next weekend :)

I really like this mate, kinda like what i want mine to look like!

Is that a 60mm drop on 15" wheels? Because it looks just right :y:

sweet! yeah theyre 60mm spax springs with apex front and rear shocks - also 60mm on the rear.

Ah dammit about the break in, looks really well before, sure you will get it back to normal mate, looks great anyway

yeah just waiting for the crap weather to go, wanted to give it a good wash today but its currently raining & hail stones atm! :(

Looking Lush How Much Is It Lowered By

look at the top of the page mate somone asked that already.. 60mm..

yes its 60mm all around.
Progress is on hold for a while due to funds and I kinda had an engine leak :( so its booked in for a service and to be looked at tomorrow. Want to go to FCS but depends how happy the engine is.

unlucky about the break in :( looking good still

sorry thats just me bein a bellend

Update
Turns out my big ends have had it so I bought a new engine this morning from ebay. 78K from a 2002 vts including gearbox etc so not too bad. Have also bought a new cambelt and water pump + a new clutch to go on the new engine.
Hopefully will all be sorted by the end of next week.
Might give it a wash this weekend and take a few pics of how the car looks at the moment.

you going to keep the vts box or swop it for a closer ratio one while its all out..?

Sticking with the vts box for now. I did have a look on ebay for an s1 rallye box but couldnt find anything, plus its just more money to spend that I dont really have tbh. I'm lucky my parents are paying for everything at the moment and then im paying them back when I can.

sorted your 205 engine out yet?

Not yet, I'm picking up an engine next weekend but it's coming with a gearbox I don't need...

Im unsure of the ratios though, it's a 205 xs box.. I'm hoping it's a tight ratio box like the 106 xsi so I can sell it on.

oh right, howcome you're getting a new engine too? more power?

Some parts came for the new engine today: cambelt + waterpump, and valeo clutch kit (in a Luk box :s )

New engine hasnt been delivered but should come any day now.

Had a play on instagram too on some old pics. Wont be using it too much on here for pics.

Mirrors
 

Spray the wing mirror stalk things gloss black aswell mate would look smoother :D

Euro Saxo :D
 

I have a mk2 saxo vtr in mauritious blue. I'm going down the same route as you with euro style. I'm getting similar wheels to you in chrome. Here are some pics of it now as I bought it,
Going to paint the bump strips gloss black. gloss black head light inserts. de-badged grille lower it with spacers and deep dish euro rims and stretched rubber. Take that massive exhaust off and replace it with a neater smaller one. and tips or advice on what else I can do to it?

I hate it when people ASW their own car in somebody elses thread...


Any updates on your car though CC06?

making your own thread would be a start

Me too, hence why ive ignored him lol. Would be good to delete comments i reckon.
As for updates yes theres been a few, fitted some new sprayed mirrors the other day. Only thing is was that they were manual so i had to take all electric system and wires out of my old mirrors and fit them into the manual mirrors housing. Was actually quite simple but just a hassle really.
Will try get some new pictures up asap as I havn't really updated this since i had the engine work done.

Update: 2012 Trax Pics
Took a few pics at trax today alongside gibbo and bod_bod. New meshed grill was fitted as well.

did a quick instagram pic too. - i know not many people like instagram but just had a play on it and i quite like this one:

Paintwork came out quite well, considering I was having real trouble with it :wall:

Let's make it mint for fast show, hopefully I can get a few cars with my work on show.

yes mate, sounds good to me :) didnt win show n shine trophy lol a mint black 106 won and then MR N got runner up. Might just have to get a full respray lol

Lol wold probably need that, considering there is a piece of trim not painted and patches missing, but considering this is done on the cheap like most cars in this site. I think it's a lot better than the majority.

You know u brought 4 35mm spacers fancy selling two ?

This thread hasn't been updated in nearly a year, and you ask him to sell half his so spacers?!

possibly mate, need to check the threads on them really. So when i get a chance ill let you know

I know, i keep meaning to update it but keep forgetting. The vts has changed since last years trax!

Add me on Facebook Philip Antony Solomon

Car looks mint mate :)

Update 14/8/13:
Haven't updated this thread since trax last year! Made a few changes since:
- Sold the lensos (i needed the money as i was going to NY earlier in the year)
- Resprayed my vts alloys myself to "citroen quartz"

- Tacky stickers removed (Just left the FCS and saxp stickers on)

Picking up some Dare RS alloys this weekend with stretched tyres. Will wash the vts and upload some pictures.

Update 27/12/13:
So before trax I fitted the new 8J all round Dare RS wheels. Got 35mm rear spacers on the rear and 20mm spacers on the front.
Here are some pictures taken by myself and others of the vts at trax. Looks the same now as I wont be doing much more really. Just going to keep it clean and tidy and get it looking a bit better as I'll be looking to sell it in the summer.

You car is awesome mate. I love black Saxo's with euro style. From behind with the 35mm spacers it looks so sexy! ;)
Do have a new picture of the back with the euro back lights?

What polish's do you use? That looks awesome
