Mauritious Blue VTR - Now Lowered
 

right, after much delay, here are ome pics of my mauritious blue VTR as it currently stands.

ive got some pics of the progress, so shall shot them up soon..

tried some arty shot with me new camera ;) hahah
















there we go.. let me know what you think.

I like it it looks mint and really well looked after!! what are your future plans with it??

cheers pal.

think im gunna paint the wheels black and lower it.

possibly put a light tint on the back 3 windows but that will be the lot i think.

do not do black buddy if u do them dark do them pug cossack gray mate looks nice tho mate.or do them white buddy

love the marituis colour and this looks look after regarding the bodywork sometimes wish i got another colour now.

i was thinking black of gunmetal.

never seen that pug cossack grey coulor tbh matey.

cheers for the comments though guys.

Sounds like some good mods lined up....:y::y:

looks good on these pictures mark, nice and tidy

white wheels are ftw :):)

Mauritious blue is my favorite colour of course. But just a really bad colour to keep clean!

nah black is bad and then you got white wish im glad i never had lol but marituis blue cant be that bad my icelandic wasent.

tell me about it!

it had been washed literally an hour before them pics were taken, and it looked pretty dirty after doin bwt 10 miles in it.




pluss...

not too sure on the white wheels, im not a fan.

might be dfferent... halfords have got ome neon pink paint ;)

Err, icelandic is silver. Maritius is dark blue, nowhere near silver. Trust me, it's a nightmare to keep clean.

Black wheels sounds good pal. Check my progress thread in my signature to see Maritius and Black :y:

just had a look ther matey, absolutely lush.

think youve convinced me to go black (Y)

i also want a new grille now hahah

i like your standard-ish one.

cba getting any mesh for mine.

think i might just get a standard on and just paint it all gloss black.

Not actually meshed mine. I've had the grill 'surround' painted Maritius, the chevrons satin black and left the slats in the middle black plastic :y: Not as common as mesh and looks better imo :)

small update...

well its not even really an update yet.

ive started refurbing me wheels.
after much debate, i decided on 'ford graphite grey'.
ive got one wheel done and tbh, looks pretty snazzy.

also got the sax-p stickers on me side windows now ;)

good col of wheels can make and brake a car ford gray looks nice on m blue saxo

not a bad choice :y:

i know as soon as i get a set of alloys though im going white for my mauritius blue flat arch...

i like white on them sets it off nice

as she stands now,

done the wheels ford graphite grey and also the chevrons and mirror caps.

cheers lads,

that pic was taken after five hours of polishing haha

so it dont look like that normally

orite marc, saw you today stuck behind that learner in normanby top haha. whats up with the car?

looks good the colour of the wheels go really well

lmao
what a shite learner!

was almot a green to red without moving. hahah

lamda sensor or sumat.

ye there a nitemare, have you had it plugged in? if you get the bits you need ill do it cheap for you bud if the garage want a daft price

yeah, its been plugged in, lambda sensor is goosed.

its still under warrentee so it will be free. but cheers for the offer bud

x

rekkon lowering it 40mm all round would make it look a lot better?

or would you not really notice it?

anyone got any pics of a VTR lowered 40mm on standard wheels?


cheers.

look awsome dude:)

Looks good. 40mm should look good, nice and subtle. Although with the VTR wheels 60mm seems to suit them as well.

right, this ishow the car currently stands...


the side... smoked side repeaters and ford graphite grey VTR wheels.


the front... smoked lights and fogs. colour coded chevrons and mirror caps.


the rear... black badges and de-wipered.


'ICE'... not much like. a lad up the road from me gave me the sub and amp for free so all i had to buy was the wiring kit. it sound pretty good for a small sub like. (6x9's are not plugged in, cba with them)


just showing how i mounted the amp and wires. velcro FTW.


HU... nowt much to write home about. ipod connection though.


Comps... pretty self explanitory.


Glovebox... switch to turn the sub off when i dont want to use it (drained my battrey when washing the car before) and where the ipod is mounted.


New Gearknob... not to everyones taste but i like it.


New rims... got them for £40! i was happy hahah. had them shotblasted and they are ready to paint gloss black.


any comments and or criticism welcome!

]Hi mate... Nice looking motor so far, just thought i'd let you see mine, she's sat on the Apex -35mm kit with the torrsion bar down about 45/50mm

thats a nice look there mate. think i might go 40 front and 50 rear. insurance will only cover me to 50mm.

whhels are nearly done...
gone for gloss balck.

hopefully after xmas, i will have the new wheels on, lowered by 40mm snd should have some tinted wind deflectors..

what u rekkon?

nice looking saxo and cool colour
