My 175.9hp N/A Euro Satin Black Saxo! BBS wheels! Trax update
 

Right, I've just got myself a Saxo VTS after having one a few years ago and wanting another one ever since.
I bought a R reg 86000 mile VTS for £700 which I was well happy with, but it also came with a sub and amp which I sold for £50 and I'm currently in the process of selling the headlights and grill so bonus.





But I'm going to make a bit of a project out of this slowly modifying it over the next few months, I have an idea of what I want to do just a case of sourcing the funds and time.
We're hoping to capitalise on all the experience we gained over the last 2 years with our Clio track car project.

First job on the car was to sort out 2 holes in the floor some previous owner had kindly put in using a trolley jack! Idiots:panic:









With that sorted we decided to remove the grill and headlights as they weren't to my liking. We got a pair of headlights and a Mk1 grill as I've always really liked the origional grills.
I fitted the headlights but had plans for the grill so the car has been looking a bit 'rat look' for a week or so.



I got a second patern grill off eBay to use to cut a section out of to debadge the origional.







Rather impressed with the outcome and as far as I can work out, it hasn't been done before!!:afro:





We'll keep you posted on further developments as they happen

Not to sure on that front grill, prefered the other one, also loved the Quads but not to everyones taste I suppose!

I prefer it how it is now with the smoothed grill and headlights. Quads are not to my taste tbh. Nice tidy btw coming on well!

good move with the headlights tbh, not keen on the twin ones. i think the old grille looks better tho tbh. seems a good price for that car too. whats the future plans?

Nice project you got there. :y:

I think that grill has been done before though, theres a smoothed mk1 posi blue vtr on here and im sure it has the grill like that.

That grille looks awesome mate. I do love morretts though. I fancy some for my silver saxo ;)

bargain, nice looking car.

clio looks good as well ;)

Very good for £700. I personally love the quads, but new grille looks great.

Somebody on here with a blue VTR has already done that to their grille, looks trick. Clio looks tuff :y:

Thanks for all the comments, I have found pictures of this blue saxo and you lot are right it has been done before. But I'm still happy with how it looks

Cheers for the comments and support everybody.
Couple more developments have happened now. First of all my de-cat pipe has arrived which I can now use to give me a bit more ground clearence so I can lower it more soon.



Next, one of the most important parts of any project, the wheels have arrived! Much to our surprise a box arrived this morning containing 4 wheels, all the same, exactly as we ordered and in quick time from Germany eBay! :clapping:
Just a couple of teaser pictures till I get them fully refurbished and they're a bit scruffy at the moment, but still got a good deal







Cheers for looking, we'll keep you all posted as thigs change!
Exciting times! :fcuk:

ye grill looks smart, in the middle of doin this on a mk1 smiley mouth but i used fiberglass instead to keep the cost of buying to spare grill down, ha, check my prog thread out

those wheels look so nice, get them on lol

rich has been running a grill like that for almost a year


sorry to piss on your bonfire

does look good though

Really liking that grille mate. I think you should make another and sell it :D:D hint hint. lol.
Headlights look waaaay better too. :)

New bbs's should look mint mate. Like it so far :y:
