Well, finally decided to do a progress thread, as i could do with some help with ideas etc.
so this is the car when i bought it while still learning around 8 months ago

Completely Standard, bought from a neighbour with a family therefore knew it hadn't been abused

First things first
after looking around on Sax-p i liked the idea of black badges, so i set off and did those:


Nothing really much for a while after that, just focused on passing my test!

Kenco 18th March 2009 00:08

Next thing was to sort out the diabolical standard speakers etc.
decided that i would stick to one company, which would be pioneer.
collected myself a set of pioneer front door speakers, pioneer headunit and pioneer sub, which although is nothing special, does the job for me.

After De-pinning the doors i managed to disconnect the central locking solenoid I took a trip to SparcoTom, who managed to fix it and then on became my local garage for parts and fixes.
after rummaging through his stuff he fitted a 106 rallye downpipe. no need for pictures, its a piece of metal :y:

Next up i decided to smoke the front lights



Not a great picture i know, but still, im sure you all know what smoked headlights look like...

so it stood like this for a while...

then came the snow, so i thought a picture was neccessary..

You passed your test now then?
car looks nice, alot of flat arches been coming through

Kenco 18th March 2009 00:10

cheers mate, passed around 4 months ago
finally decided to make a progress thread
will get final pics up when i get round to it in a second!

Tom_Crx 18th March 2009 00:15

Lol well done dude, jus started my progress thread too
take a peak (Y)

Kenco 18th March 2009 00:15

anyway, next up i came across Adamski's thread on stripping his car
took alot of interest in his grille so i snapped that up :panic:, thanks again mate
much prefered it once fitted:





with this being done, it inspired me to get my arse into gear and look around more on the sax-p for sale section.

Kenco 18th March 2009 00:29

With all this done, i decided to go ahead and grab myself an Ashley backbox, after looking around i decided this was the one for me.
initial fitment went pretty badly...



but after another trip to SparcoTom this was soon sorted



with this done i left it at that for a while.

Kenco 18th March 2009 00:39

Next up Turbotom and I decided to do a trade; my mountain bike for a set of alloys and a pipercross induction kit.
with this deal done we fit the induction kit there and then.

the alloys were short lived though, as i decided that i wanted to keep my vtr alloys and instead refurbish them black and sell the ones from Turbotom
FOR SALE: http://www.saxperience.com/forum/sho...tiSpoke+Alloys

Next up to go with the black badges and the smoked lights, i set about spraying the front grille mesh black



much happier with it now

and here is how it stands for now after a good wash.




Future plans are:
Supersprint centre section
Lowered
Black VTR wheel refurb
VT kit conversion

Kenco 19th March 2009 00:39

Need some more ideas people
what are we thinking?

Saxy1 19th March 2009 07:48

Good progress so far mate.

gary2008 19th March 2009 07:54

nice saxo the mate for 1st car (Y)

raunchz 19th March 2009 07:55

Yeh like it, and like the future plans for a vt* kit!

Sneakydevil89 19th March 2009 08:07

glad you finally got one of these up mate!
welcome to the flat arch crew :P

ideas sound good, your going in right direction
you thought about smoked standards or smoked jewels for the rear? they look really good on posi cars

Kenco 19th March 2009 09:14

yeah man should be getting some smoked jewels when i find a stash of money
centre section comes first at the moment, as you know, mine is about to explode!
may be getting a vt kit off of Adamski with some birthday money i get!

Sneakydevil89 19th March 2009 09:42

VT kit will look good, but there is a fair amount of work to fit one. its not hard really, just time consuming if you want it done properly.

sounds like your going in the right direction then!

Kenco 19th March 2009 10:26

yeah ive read all the guides on how to do it, im quite confident about it tbh
hopefully i will get it soon! :y:

btw, in september the missus is going to exeter uni, so i will be down there quite often, any meets and stuff around there?

tomo2k8 19th March 2009 10:28
