The cleanest Mk2 posi vts out there
 

Hi all started my progress thread today now i no how to upload my photos just for your viewing so here goes

WHEN I GOT IT.....




Brought the saxo vts 02 plate in may 2009 with 89,000 on the clock with 3 previous owners the mileage seem's a bit high but i have been over it and it's sound.

So now it came down to price it was up for 2195 after pointing out the high milage I GAVE HER 1900 and she gave me the keys so i had myselth a sax.

HOW IT STANDS.....

looking good

de-slatted grille
 

First mod to do was to get rid of the grillE so out it come dremmeled the slats off color coded it blue and then black meshed it with some tidy black chevrons job done for around 45 quid cheaper than the dimmer ones and i think it looks better imo.

So as you can see i polished my vts RIM yes rim i did one and gave up lol after a week straight of paint removeing and then sanding to remove all the pitting and then the 40 grain to take the kerbing out and then going from 80 -1500 grain to get it smooth then metal polishing it for the shine.

I thought f... this i put my hands up to anyone thats done a full set its not an easy task by any means.

Yes very nice :)

unlucky mate. i wanted to polish mine but thought id end up in the same situation your in as i dont really have the time around work and the mrs.lol. fair play for trying though

de-wipered and t-cut badges
 

Did this all in one go took about half an hour to de wiper. The wiper bolt was siezed so had to hacksaw it off and half hour to t-cut the badges.



Not bad results for an hours work an at the cost of a couple of quid.

Smoked Sidelights
 

Ebay jobbie 12 quid striaght swap fot the orignals in keeping with the blue and black theam.



Still a long way to go.

Looks very nice mate! Good mods.

veryy nice :)

New Arieal
 

Big long wand had to go now swapped with something a bit smaller anouther ebay job 4 quid only had in chrome so painted black when it arrived



Still loads to do.

Looks smart that mate :y:

You should of carried on polishing with all the wheels though imo...would of been worth it :y:

smart car you got here, some nice subtle but good mods on it. definately going in the right direction.

looks good! the polished wheel looks decent but sounds like ahrd work lol

i was thinking of polishing my VTS rims or painting them white , by the way you described it im going for painting them white .

o yes do em white
 

unless you dont have a gf or any mates because if you do forget about seeing them for a month lol.

update more polished bits
 

Did theases after i decided it couldnt take as long as set of rims how wrong was i so many nooks and crannys to get into made them very difficult to but worth it for the finish result EST TIME TOOK 4-5 DAYS.




Comeing along nicely me thinks.

update new plates
 

Got some new plates mate from fords done them for me also got new fixings had to replace them as old ones looked shite.






still loads to do.

I like how this is going mate. Keep it up.
