Adz21 Progress Thread!! ***For Sale - £1800***
 
I've seen loads of people making their own threads and though i might as well get in on the action!

I've only had my sax for a couple of months so dont expect to much peeps! :A:

I bought my vtr a month after wrecking my old 1.1, silly move but i've always wanted one!

So here it goes!

First pic is of my saxo standard



I didn't want to change too much at first so asked the amazing people of photoshop to modify my car. As you can see from the below picture, its been lowered, smoked lights, dimma grille and tinted windows. *thanks to predator_vtr*



I loved what i saw so started hunting down some parts!

This is how she stands today, with a dimma grille and smoked front and rear lights.



I've made a couple of other changes, such as new head unit, chrome citroen & saxo lettering on the back and removing the door pins oh and a chrome filler cap!







I will either next be adding tints or colour coding bumpers and once i can afford it, lowering her about 40mm.

Here's a picture of her colour coded by photoshop "FurioAL"



I've just changed the door pins with smaller gromitts as the old ones looked too big.



This weekend i've gotten one step further to getting my car how I want it! I've painted my Dimma grille, removed the black strips from the door pillers and painted my rocker cover (old one was rusted as fok!)

But first off, yesterday afternoon I was on my way home when I heard a loud noice, looked behind me to see my spare wheel rolling down the road!!! The cage holding my wheel was dragging on the floor!!! I had to pull to the side of the road and find my god damn spare wheel!!!!

Finally found it but couldn't put the wheel back as the bracket holding the cage up was missing!!! I couldn't stay where I was so I moved further up and found a lay-by where I found some hardcore and some old cable. I managed to tie it all up and get home... thank fcuk for that!!!!

Got some pics of it held up with rope (old wire is in the boot, see pics)





Well back to the mods!!!
Below are some pics of my rocker cover!






And some pics of my painted dimma grille



And finally pics of me and my dad removing the door strips. A messy job but worth it!!!




Hope you like, please let me know:y:

Looks good so far, Not a tints fan so Id say lose em but alot of people like them.

Colour code the lower lip on the front bumper and spray your R rims Gloss Black and your have a winner there :y:

Japman 16th April 2007 15:13

I have heard a lot of people saying they dont like tints, and recently been re-thinking.

Do like the idea of black wheels, might just have to look into that!

Def going to colour code the bumps though!

thanks for your thoughts mate!

Adam_Q 16th April 2007 15:29

Does anyone know whats involved in painting the wheels black?

Hopcraft 16th April 2007 16:11

do us a big favour and edit top post and change all pics so we can see them.

I have chrome lettering on mine personally i think it looks cool but lots of people disagree, lol: Lookie






Graeme 16th April 2007 16:19

yeah thred would be better if the pics wernt links lol :P

Hopcraft 16th April 2007 16:27

good plans, just dont like the chrome lettering and filler cap. Grommit mod is sucha good mod and for so cheap. id get it lowered bout 50mm next before tints.

Adam_Q 16th April 2007 16:28

bump:y: :y:

Wayne 16th April 2007 18:18

smart car buddy:y:

Adam_Q 16th April 2007 19:33

Cheers for all your input, very much appricate it!

I used the chrome letters to cover the holes..lol I'm thinking about going for the black look so might just put the originals back on and spray dem black. Who thinks I should?

I'm also thinking about spraying the filler cap to match the car. Thoughts peeps!

:y: :y:

Thanks mate, i've heard a lot of people say that, although I saw one yesterday which was sitting extremely low!!! To low i think!

This is all on the "to do list", will be painting the grille this weekend but can't lower for awhile. :y:

Hopcraft 18th April 2007 12:00

well putting the original ones back on and spraying them black will look a whole lot better than it does with the chrome tacky things. Black look on your colour car looks great imo.
