Thought so. I know where you can get them cheap;)

Thought of that. I'm not sure if its held on by pins... + i think it degrades the vts factor.

cheers mate. Good luck with the wheels. Don't rush it if you want the best finish.

yes i think i will – I like them

just got to sell my wheels, then getting a spax kit asap. Not sure about de-wipering - i like to see out the back when its raining lol.



Cheers for the respsones and suggestions guys :y:

nice car pal am liking the wheels :y:

well i think its nice mate ;)

Nice car mate. I hated the VTS Wheels in black though- looked dogg!

cheers pal. As they are 30% lighter, they've improved the handling aswell

thanks bud

are you mad??!:fcuk:

Mate with the way you have your car looking now id like too see yellow rear badges, perhaps 16v's yellow and yellow front chevrons. Would go well with the yellow s and your calipers :y:

it looks good in my head :fcuk: but dunno what it would look like in the flesh???

if not just stealth it all with black badges :y:

haha the yellow is an idea i spose! it would look different :panic:

i like the all black idea

My plan is to get a dimma grill so no front badge, de badge the rear and take to bodyshop to sort out the holes left from the pins, and leave the 16v badges as they are - i like them lol

Little list of small snags im going to sort out tomorrow.

1. Take off the plastic trim that run down the doors
2. sand down and re-spray the splitter.
3. Give car a thorough clean and wax
4. carry on with wheel refurbing

45mm lowering needed

looks very nice mate!

tell me about it bud. Its just a case of affording it atm.

As soon as i have funds im dropping it 40 on full spax kit!:y:

Update 9 - The Essential Mod
 

just put on the essential mod lol:P

Done a few little bits today

- Sorted out the crack in the front splitter
- Got rid of the 16v badges - decided they had to go.
- Got rid of the plastic strips down the doors as they are cracking
- t-cutted the rear badges - eventually they will be off.

Not completely finished, so will post up pics tomorrow

Update 10 - Little Changes
 

sorted out crack in the front splitter



Removed 16v badges + T-cutted rear badges



Removed plastic trim down the doors - is an absolute nightmare to get the glue off - takes ages, but looks 10x better.


Soon to be lowered!!!

seen interesting comments about the rear wiper.

how many people have actually used their rear wiper? they do sod all on saxos lol!

another 'track look' car on saxp :P

Update 11 - Stripped!
 

I do use my rear wiper quite a bit to be fair. Useless as it is lol

I know what you mean about the abundance of 'track look' cars on Saxp. But i've thought about doing it for about a year. I like the look and want to start doing track days. I want it to look unique though - same but different if you know what i mean.

Anyway, stripped out the back half of the car on sunday. If i have more than one passanger, i can just borrow the sisters KA:cool:


just got to tidy up cables, remove rear panel speakers and take off the material stuck on the sides of the boot, but its going to leave a nice resin

Coming along really well fella keep it up :y:

Spax VSX kit has arrived!!!
 

This arrived this morning...


Only ordered it a few days ago, im pleased with the quick delivery.



This should lower 40mm at the front and im going to have the back set a bit lower to look balanced.

More pics soon when i get it lowered :y:

very nice mate cant wait to see it lowerd :D

Can't go wrong with Spax imo - can't fault mine. :)

Is it just me, or do these spax springs look really long? do they compress quite abit then if they're meant to drop 40mm?
