I've had my Saxo for over a year now so I thought it would be about the right time to create my progress thread.

It bought the car for a knockdown £450, with 95,000 miles on the clock, 15" TSW alloys, alpine head unit, Vibe Slick 400w 6x9s, peco backbox and an pipercross (i think) air filter.

Here it was as i bought it.







The first thing i did was respray the interior trim components, the vents, the speaker grilles and the center section were all flatted off and sprayed silver.




Next I had to sort the engine management light and give the old girl a full service, including oil change, oil filter, fuel filter, spark plugs, new front discs and pads all round, topping up all other fluids, and a general clean up of the engine bay. Ran injector cleaner through the system and also a new gear knob, number plates and lexus lights :oops: were fitted shortly after.



Next I thought I would upgrade the standard sound system with Fli Componants with directional tweeters for the front and a 1000W Fli Active Sub with built in Amp for the boot. These along with the infamous 6x9s sound quality, and im really happy with them :y:.





Next i repainted my calipers from yellow, to blue, and my rocker cover blue to keep with the theme.




More to come tomorrow, its taking longer than i thought lol.
:zainy:

Decided that the blue was too light, so re sprayed in Dark blue

Looking good mate.
Remove the lexarse lights and lower it and it should look good imo. standard lights ftw!

Next i bought a smily grille from an ebay shop, and sprayed it blue, as i thought there was a bit too much silver going on the front end

from this

To this

gave her a good wash and polish (Autoglym Deep Wax)

Next, went standard with the lights, and smoked them to my taste :)

Then removed the door pillar tape :)

Got shot of silver wipers and refurbed originals as they were flakey



from these


to standard :)

Gettin better, anymore?

looks good matey

Good progress mate, how come it was so cheap?!?!

Mileage probs

Next step was window tinting. Used self tint which came out perfectly, just requires patience and a steady hand :) Gives quality results :y:




Bought saxperience stickies :D

Still coming lol, bare with me :)

It was cheap because the guy who i bought it off got done for drink driving and couldnt afford the insurance. MOT was nearing and tax was running out so he wanted a quick sale. It was originally up for 1200 but i got it for 450 in the end :)

Next i bought some VTR alloys from Aterro (cheers buddy) to replace the TSWs.

Again lookin a lot better everytime you put new pictures up :D

Unfortunately, the wheel bolts were completely wrong and looked shabby anyway, so i invested in a brand new set of shiny bolts.



one in


Much better :)

Cheers matey :y: appreciate it, more to come :P

I'll be waitin to see :P
