Coopers gold VTR *Updated 17/06/09 Not a laguna splitter!*
 

Bought this car a couple of weeks ago and thought i'd get my arse into gear and get it on here.Few small mods done so far as you will see from the pictures.









What do you think?

Tidy steering wheel

Not sure about the cup onthe roof though

Im liking the wheel too!

Back lowered?
What about front?

Exhaust needs repositioning

tcut rear badges did myn today

looking good mate

The front hasnt been done, the back was already done when i bought the car, think its about 40mm. Its on my to do list.

Thats one of the mounts its more like an elastic band, getting some power flex ones soon.:y:

need some back to black on the bumpers and trim.

i would spray the front grill matt black as its easy to do and once its done it wont need doing again unlike back to black.

would look much smarter then.

Im gonna colour code and mesh the grill. Haven't had chance to clean it yet as i have been on nights for the past 2 weeks.

Looks good! :)

The Cup really finishes it off! :P

Coffee on the go!

Lol, be better if it was Tea 2 sugars! ;)

smart looking saxo mate, were abouts in telford are you from? havent seen it about but regonise that escort next to your saxo

Live in leegomery mate. Saxo's only been in telford for a couple of weeks. The escort is now a complete shed, they guy hasn't moved it for about a year. it's covered in moss and rust.

Looks a nice saxo execpt the couple of bits which you said are on your to do list.

gonna get the alloys sprayed black with the little indents on each spoke done gold...in fact if anyone wants to photoshop that...;)

that might be why then, i live in bratton not far from you!, should get out sometime :y:. an that escort is a bit ott for me, not a fan of body kits really lol

Made a few more small changes to the car in the last month,

New front speakers, jbl components



Got my subs in and running, please note the 6x9s came with the car and are not wired in :y:


Voltmeter to keep an eye on things,


Now to the outside i changed the grill to meshed one,



T-cutted the rear badges and most importantly a bit of sax-p advertising,




Also i bought these off of a member on here for £115 delivered all tyres nearly new. All kerb marks have been filled just waiting for the money to get them sprayed black



Comments :y:

Yeah I agree the steering wheel's pukka.

My exhaust is out of line to need to fix that. Just finding the time to do it!

But very good start mate

nice motor mate.

cleaned car the other day and got some beading pics,

wanna sell your standard rims m8,pm me price n condition

also car looking sweet,i like gold saxos

Cool pictures! :D

small update for now, received my quickshift from a relatively new company on ebay last week and got it fitted. I must say im impressed with the quality for the price. heres a couple of pics from in the car,

Finally got my alloys back from the bodyshop at the weekend, been waiting for them for a month now but i didn't have to pay for them to be sprayed so, i can't complain. Got them on the car yesterday,

I also painted the callipers whilst i was down there



Next i decided to make a false floor, here are the results,


And just a random


What do you think??

everything looks good to me :y:

its looking good mateee
Love Gold Saxoss

Looks really nice come along abit. Love the alloys.

Are those headlights legal? Look like they have been tinted lol. How did you keep your induction kit like that aswell mine is a right pain in the ass to keep in the same place.

the kit says they are, but i will find out come mot time. Just made a couple of brackets out of some old metal and bolted it to where the old intake and pas resevoir was.

Ahh right cheers man may try that.

And im not sure on the lights i thought all tint was illegal but may be alright.

it's not a complete tint, it's kind of like a meshing, it says that enough light still gets through to conform with mot testing, i haven't noticed any difference either. But hey ho if it fails will take 5 mins to peel them off.

nice car mate! loving the black and gold theme :y:
