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...

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.
