Looks good mate! Where did you get your grill?

Got the grill off a mate for free but it was a horrible black plastic, so i sprayed it Citroen Quartz silver :) cheers mate

ohhh looks nice and suttle best way i think.

looks good............nice base to start modding from...........

shame about the old saxo sounds a true minter.. new one is looking really smart mate.

our cars are similar aha!
where did u get ure heardlights from?
i like them :)

cheers mate i think its the best way too :)

cheers mate what mods would you do next?

i know haha really was a minter but thats life haha full of shit . . . cheers :y:

yeah do look similar haha headlights are standard but with propper smoked inserts :D

bye bye black saxo Hello silver saxo :)

silvers better anyway ;) haha

That looks so sweet man, unlucky about your old car!

Ide drop vts lump in buddy..............then cams and map.....:y:

agreed :afro:

I would have sued the bitch for making your car a write-off! Your silver one is nicer imo but i still would have been extremely pissed about the black one been written off.

Cheers mate :)

Oooh meby next summer/winter... I couldn't get insured atm anyway with a 16v :(

haha I honestly do think that after owning both, silver is just so much easier to keep clean and you don't see as many scratches :)

Was gutted mate, I have a claim in for loss of earnings ect but I am owed that, just glad to have a car again lol

Problem at manic motors, when chris took the gearbox off he found out that all of the bolts for the clutch were rounded completley and I would need a full set of new ones from Citroën, only problem apart from more money for the bolts is that they won't get the bolts to him until Monday so I have been carless this weekend but it's no big deal, will update when I get the car back and let you know how the vts box goes :)

Any news on the vts box mate? :)

Yes mate got the car back with VTS gearbox, new clutch, 2 new driveshafts and raised to 50mm at the back and what a difference it all makes, car feels 100 times better.

With it being raised to 50mm from 80mm the handling is much much better, alot more control and obv with the new driveshafts and clutch the car feels solid.

And the VTS box really does improve acceleration and i think its pulls more, makes the car feel a bit more responisve and livley lol sorry if this is wrong but thats what it feels like . would deffo recomend the VTS box is in a different league.

And also fitted VTS wheel bolts to go with my wheels and a set of locking wheel nuts.

Thanks to chris mat manic motors, did a really good job and will do all of my business with him from now on :)

Sweet! Get some new pictures up mate! :y:

I'm considering getting a VTS gearbox as well if I can find one with low-ish mileage for a decent price.

looking smart, looks really clean in real life mate, keep up the work.
