Mods i would do:

-Tint the rear windows
-De-wiper
-Tint the standerd lights
-Yellow door cards
-Possibly a vt kit

Good look :y:

ever since i saw a mango 1.1 saxo with white vtr wheels on i now love this color! :)

Thanks for the comments :D
Im de-wipering it now :D

nice car mate, you thought about widemouthing the front bumper and gettin a dimma grill? looks ace think it would suit this colour :D

Thanks buddy :D And no i havent, Do they look nice? :)

They look well smart IMO. doing mine soon hopefully :)

I'll have to have a look :D
Just tried de-wipering my Saxo, cant get the wiper off, need a puller, anyone know where i can get them from & how much they are? Thanks :D

Saw it off :D

No joke i had to.

watch you dont pull to hard and break your window mate

I'll go get the saw out :') My neighbours will think i've gone crazy! :L

Crazy but it works haha ;)

Nice looking car :) Similair to mine, smoke your rear lights and tcut badges, cheap and looks cool :y:

I love Mango saxo`s just not the interior i`d change the seats & doorcards to vr/s 1`s & spray the plastics a different colour.Other than that a nice car.

Steve.

interior is same as a furio. youll struggle to change door cards as vt's have leccy windows. so would need holes drilling for winders.:y:

I feel sick looking at that interior, the dash ect isn't in mango but a pukrid yellow. I'd keep it black/subtle.

Black wheels will suit. That's what i'd do bud. :y:

Thanks for the feedback :D
Just de-wipered the back & sprayed the grille black, also bought a bee sting aerial. :D

De-wipered


Primered Grille



Paint & Sand paper :D


Just need to put the grille on now :)

Smoke the front lights why you are spraying mate ;)

i think white wheels look the dogs on mangos

Any Guides on how to spray the lights? What sort of spray paint do i use? And i think i'll be refurbing the allloys & spraying them white soon Dan :D

Swell
An literally just buy a tint spray off eBay or halfords somewhere like that and clean them properly maybe degreaser and then wait until dry and apply coats until dark enough for you using masking tape up the areas u want done or not
What colour are u thinking of going I like all red or top half red bottom half black

After writing the essay I hope you were on about tinting and not headlight smoking lol

mirror caps. subtle but effective

and get those interior bits sprayed in mango, not yellow!

I'll go halfords in a bit, and im not sure yet, i'll take a look at some lights :D

I'll have a look for some mirror caps :) I was going to spray the interior white, have a black & white effect inside of the car. :)

Cant find Mirror caps anywhere :/

neather can i mate :/

Wont find mango mirror caps, they were never made.

I cant even find possi blue ones? :/

My saxo as it stands :)

Future plans;

-Mirror caps
-Lowered
-New alloys
-Exhaust
-Buckets
-Smooth the boot
-Colour code side strips

Pm eskimo mate, think he has some posi blue caps,

Also nice car mate, if I didn't get my amazon green 1.1 I would of got a mango 1.1 :) looks real good and what ever you do don't vt* kit it! Keep it a flat arch :)

Thanks buddy :D And im planning on keeping it flat arch, dont worry :)
Just looking for some Mango mirror caps :]

Resprayed the grille :)

nice car mate

Thanks :) Resprayed all the interior Mango orange now instead of that dull yellow :)
Gunna get a lowering kit soon, although the back wheels rub on the arch really bad, & i have a slow puncture on the rear wheel :(

nice car mate! is it just the photo or is the grille a slightly different colour to the bonnet?

Lovely colour to work with of course.
Good start.

Thanks pal, and i think the colour match isnt 100% perfect but it'll do for now :)

Thank you :D

Just ordered some mirror caps & some 45Mm springs :D
On a tight budget at the moment, got my Mot coming up soon, insurance & tax :(

looking good :)

Powder coat, thats what I have done on mine :) check mine out please for my first car, work done myself, was completely standard :)

Nice car ive always loved the mango saxos. And i actualy like that like that interior. I reckon you should put some white vtr alloys on, would look cleaner than the multispokes mate :y:
