Gunmetal S - Car's back from the bodyshop!!!
My Gunmetal Grey VTS "Ellie" :hug:
Hey everyone. I bought my saxo about two weeks ago and in that time have already got stuck in with my first mods and a few small changes to the car's appearance... The previous owner added a few mods: * Compo MO's in original gunmetal colour (have been refurbed and resprayed since) * Induction Kit * Blitz air filter and forged pipes * Connectors and reducers + Carbon intake pipe * Exhaust * Cobra Imola2 Buckets in Red/Black with black backing * Rage 6-point race harnesses * Rear seats and bench re-trimmed to match * Rear tints * Lowered all round by about 55mm * Sound system Some spare change in the car lol. Here are the first proper pictures i have of her nice and clean since i got the keys... Meg's, Autoglym and some zymol products and goodies used ;)  Engine bay... No strut brace fitted yet :( wont be long!!!  Different views...    Old Cobra red and black colour coded race seats fitted with sliding sports frames and 6-point rage racing harnesses. I actually miss these seats now which im ashamed to say as i could wait to get rid of them and get some GTI leather in place...  ^^ Looking back i realise now they would have been a fook load better when i was on track @ Silverstone for Trax '07 and how much i miss them :sad:  SF Racing steering wheel...   Another view from the side...  ICE and Boot build...     Sitting on Eibach springs. Lowered around 55mm all-round i think...   Pic as she is now for comparison...  A LOT has changed since these pics so keep reading for more... Shes now been nicknamed 'Eleanor' or Ellie (sad but there goes lol.) Any thoughts or comments welcome :y: Cheers Red :) |
Very very nice mate however it should be in the "saxo photo/video gallery".

|
the car is looking lovely mate, love the colour.
|
Cheers fella!
|
Got bored of everyone having posi blue an have grown to love the colour as well
|
Interesting Induction kit, bet it sounds grrrrreat :y:
Nice early S, I like the early ones much better than the smiley grill models. Them wheels would look amazing in White :y: Not into ice so Id remove it and strip the rear but thats just me. Pssssssst - Photo Video Section tho mate ;) lol |
Looks great mate, love the colour.
Those wheels would look great in white or anthracite. |
Nice car mate!
Sitting low my friend! :y: |
doesnt look too bad bud, i wouldnt change the grill, like that mk1 grill. id sort the alloys out if not get some differ ones, other than that, seems a nice motor.
|
not too sad that mate, not so sure on the seatbelt pads or the 6x9s but yes.
i love the color |
Nice wheels, love the seats, best colour of all the saxos ever produced.
I would keep it subtle and maybe refurb your wheels the same colour as the car, delock it and generally keep it nice and clean. I think the mats make the interior look a bit muddled as well! |
nice vts mate, i like the colour, the wheels would look nice anthracited as well.
|
looks very nice mate love the colour scheme
ever thought about buying an pug s1 raylle carpet? |
looks smart mate:y: i love it:P:y:
|
Lovely colour that mate. The interior is very smart too.
|
looking nice, love the colour.
|
nice mate, colour is smart! Very nice :y:
|
Cheers for all the comments :y:.
No worries they were first on my list, new alloys are coming! 16's in white :afro: reckon theyd look the sex tbh New bumpers and skirts soon also among other goodies I'll keep her posted for ya ;) |
love the colour a bit of work done here and there, also 6x9s and the loudest.com stuff chuck away, and get front components :y:
|
Fair cop, got em just need to pay for this trip and then i can allocate some more notes to spend on more gear.
Only had her a couple of months so not bad i reckon, cant wait to get new reclining race seats tho, trimmed in red and black leather, mmm :p |
Nice rims just need a refurb by the look of it.
Get those rear seats out! |
not bad that mate..wheels are a lil tatty like
|
clean car mate
the induction kit looks nice but i do think the boot needs tiding abit |
looks really good mate. really like the colour :)
looking forward to see what you are doign with it. Although will hopefully get to see it soon at a meet :y: |
looking good mate !!! :y:
|
Great colour matey. Plans for the new rims sound spot on. Nice project;) :y:
|
like it i think its nice
+ colour, lush love it - wheels, interior and not likin the boot thats just imo |
Quote:
Any ideas whether to turn her into a track slag or not? |
keep standard and refurb wheels, looks spot on now, red doesnt really suit though
|
I can either go red black or blue black. Wat would you choose bullit mate??
|
or grey black as i have same seats ;)
|
Looking good mate. I am a bit colourblind so it looks a bit green to me but might be the pictures! White wheels would look good. I would personally (just my opinion) strip the ice and back seats out and track slag it! Grey and black seast ftw!!!
|
Mint mate Interior looks sweet
|
Looks alright mate, needs the doorcards doing a.s.a.p.
|
Yea there next on the list lol, havnt even had her a month yet!
|
What colours to go with now, either black/grey or black/blue which i reckon would look better than red
