My Silver and orange Vtr! FOR SALE £1800
 
Okay So ive owned my car since the 1st of november and i have fallen in love even more with saxos ive been meaning to start a thread for a while now and so ive done a few bits and bobs already but i have taken loads of photos along the way!! i would love to show you all my Car it may not be to all of your taste but i lave it :D please feel free to suggest things to me im very open to Criticism :D

so here goes :) i bought my saxo from a garage down the road little more expensive then ebay and stuff but i fell in love :P haha


it had rear lexus lights and had been lowered not sure by how much maybe about 55mm it also had a magnex exaust!



I got down to the scrappy and got rid of the lexus light for standard and also bought some other bits and bobs but you will find out about them later on :)


I de lat my front grill as well, ready to mesh it up looks so much better,
i tryed spraying it silver but it didnt really stand out so i sprayed it black and used black mesh and sprayed the chevron orange as well



Next Jobby was the angel eyes :) bought some off ebay all i needed to do was just wire them into the side likes and i love them!!


i put some blue h1 88watt bulbs in cant believe how much better angel eyes are :)


i sprayed my wing mirror caps orange to and added a trs tow strap i bought a m16 bolt i think from the local diy store.

More to come

Try and get some Mk1 smoked rear lights and t cut the badges, it will look good and yeah the orange tape around will be good!:fcuk:

mate what size was the thread on the m16 bolt you used to tighten on the tow strap

Kanekelly 7th December 2011 23:29

ahh i cant really remember i think it was either 11mm or 12
but all i did was i took my towing eye into the diy shop, mine was under the passengers seat.i just tested the nuts and then found the same size bolt :)

JoshFurioBrookes 7th December 2011 23:31

I love that your indicator bulbs go with your theme of orange! :D

Abass123 7th December 2011 23:35

so m16 is the same fitment?

Kanekelly 7th December 2011 23:46

yea fairly easy, wouldnt recommend towing with them unless you cut the bumper a little so its free to move or else it will rip the whole bumper off.

mate i love your front bumper was it hard work? i really want to wide mouth mine the easy way!
you have a really nice saxo!!

Abass123 7th December 2011 23:50

yeah was pretty easy i just taped it all up and sprayed it took a few hours but it makes it look like a different car ... fall in love with the saxo again

Kanekelly 8th December 2011 00:04

cheers for the picture, that was my orginal idea i was gonna do, but i though it would be abit out there, all my mates were telling me not to do it, but i really wanted to,
once i get my other alloys on ill spray the vtr orange :)

ive got a tone of photos on my phone with 2 saxos with orange wheels only seen too on tinernet, one was sold on ebay a little while back
