My First Car: Saxo VTR MK2 Posi Blue
 
Hey,

After passing my driving test over a year ago, i was determined to get a Saxo VTR as my first car. But my biggest problem was trying to find a VTR that was unmodified, in good condition, local and had low mileage. After a year searching and waiting i finally found the VTR i have today.

I brought my Saxo VTR standard, 1 owner and it had done 62,000 miles with full history.









Things I have already done to my VTR:

New Passenger side wish bone
New set of tyres

Things I plan to do to my VTR:

New Radio
Find some VTS wheels and paint them white
Debadge the front grill
Smoke the front headlights
Paint the rocker cover blue
Lower it (Don't know how much yet)
New exhaust
Induction Kit
New set of brakes (Paint brake calipers red)

Nice base
Also your posts dont go up when you post on your own thread:P

Pug-123 26th January 2013 01:07

That carpet looks really nice! Nice base car to start on too, personally I'd keep the VTS' silver and lower it around 50mm to keep it practical and clean looking, but that's if it was mine!

Yes it was pretty easy to fit. It took me around 25 mins to fit the carpet.

Cheers. Also i have posted on other peoples threads aswell and my posts still haven't gone up. Weird.

MISSLAC 30th January 2013 11:04

It looks really nice and clean. I would paint the bumper strips gloss black too! It's a nice touch. :)

SaxoGT 30th January 2013 14:01

Nice clean Saxo dude. Why don't you get some Team Heko wind deflectors for it?

BEAMER231 1st March 2013 00:28

Finally got my VTS alloys powder painted white.



Then i brought some new set of tyres for my alloys. Getting them fitted on my Saxo tomorrow :)



Lastly i stuck the saxperience stickers on both sides of the rear windows.



My next thing i want to do if to find some 106 GTI leathers that are in good condition. I'm finding it hard trying to find them in good condition and are not too far away. Also i also looking to find these door cards, i believe they are from a Saxo Desire, but i can't find them anywhere and i have been to my local scrappy and not even 1 Saxo was at the scrappy :( I have even tried Ebay aswell and still nothing. If anyone knows anyone that are selling either 106 GTI leathers or those door cards please PM thanks.

Ah that must be why then, thank you.

BEAMER231 12th March 2013 23:35

UPDATE

Have to have a new rear axle as mine is fucked. So i'm unable to drive my Saxo for 2 weeks now :'(

BEAMER231 15th April 2013 19:47

UPDATE

Fitted a refurbished rear axle about 2 weeks ago and now there's water in the oil and i think the head gasket has a crack in it. I'm taking the engine apart tomorrow to see what the problem is. My saxo is becoming abit of a curse.
