That actually looks wicked mate, any news on the manifold aswell?

I wanted that plate so bad, you just got there before me
Hate youu :( lol
If you ever feel like selling it, I'll take it :)

m11ler: cheers, gotta wait a couple of weeks for them to manufacture a new link pipe.

nicole_: As long as I own a saxo I won't be selling this plate. but I'll let you know when the time comes

Looking good. Short plate should suit it down to the ground!

cheers. I just got a call from halfords, saying my plates are in so I'm gonna get them tonight.

Things have been a bit quiet atm! It's essay/exam time at uni at the mo, so I'm stuck wasting my life inside doing all that lol :(

I go home in 2 weeks so hopefully I can start a few car bits, Ive got a raceland enclosed induction and angel eyes to fit :)

ahh ok, glad you went with the angels in the end, definitely the right choice

just a quick update. got my MOT on Saturday, then off to the body shop to get ready for BHP show.

I also received this picture from banded steels,



more pics when I get them home

c and c welcome

Look forward to seeing some better pictures of them. Whats the plans colour wise?

can u do a couple of photoshops for me? just a mix of ideas but only using black or black and white

With the wheels on the car or off the car?
Will be difficult to photoshop them onto the car and make it look realistic, i thought of something else i could do though. I have a photo of someones white vt on dished wellers so i could play about with that.

ok cheers

Wheels look good! I think you should do them all white! :)

cheers mate but no. I either want all black or black with white centre or other way round. just white is a nono

Black with white centre then, All black will be too boring I think :y:

I need to see some photoshops first. millers sorting me some out when he gets back from work

Done a few quick photoshops using kenco's old car as a base, because it was just easier lol. Its kinda similar to yours anyway, and it'll give you a rough idea.
Some of the photos i couldnt be bothered with the front wheel either, because the pic was too small.

First pic is how kenco had it.


All black


All white


White dishes, black centres


Black dishes, white centres


Black dishes, purple centres, just for a laugh


I'd go with either all black, white dishes black centres, or something lairy like the purple.

Wellers only look good in black or gun metal. Any other colour and they just look cheap. Also they are a bastard for rusting so paint in my opinion isn't a option only powdercoat. I did a guide on here on how to paint them and within 6 months the lad who bought them messaged me on eBay to tell me they were rusting and they were painted with rust proof and etch then 4 coats of 2k paint.

Very nice car mate and very very nice wheels.

Cheers mate, what does everyone think?

got the front bumper as far I'm willing to take it, ready for the body shop to do there magic



what's everyone's thoughts? I'm still not 100% sure on the number plate location
