To start this thread anyway, I got some new wheels and new steering wheel the other week so here are some pics:




























QEP lightened flywheel:



And one of the 'incoming' engine:






And here's my polished altenator-finished it yesterday (all my own work) :grin:




and today I fitted my new carbon wing mirror covers:

Right, I fitted my carbon mirror covers today-here is a quick guide of fitting, and also some snaps of the finished article. They do look VERY cool in the flesh-and they are also lighter than the plastic ones-great stuff! :grin:

Here's how they look out of the box:



Take the old cover off and clean the area with an alcohol solution of some sort:



Apply some silicon to the area ready to stick them on:



I used some masking tape to keep them in place-and firmly pressed on:



Remove tape then buff: :grin:



All done:



And the other side:



Not bad for £30 or thereabouts I think. :clap:

More to come soon!! :grin:

Another pic of the front brakes:



And the rear brake lines:



I also replaced all the 'heavy' bolts in the cabin with lightweight gold aluminium bolts (thanks to Bic for taking me to the greatest 'bolt shop' in the world lol! :mrgreen:









And some token art fag shots....

absolutly stunning matey looks really high quality!! only thing i would say is get the holes fillled where the badges once were, apart from that faultless saxo buddy

Awesome. Cant wait to see it when the valver goes in!

Cheers mate.
Yea that's something I want to do, but there are a lot of other jobs in the way...
List so far:

-spray interior
-flock dashboard
-weld in a new non sunroof skin
-install engine
-coilovers
-internal fuel lines
-oil cooler
-stack dash

etc etc, a few more 'priority jobs' so to speak!!

woooow
thats stunning
:y:

saxo looks awesome mate:y::P

Superb.

What have you done with all the cabling inside? I've got a really messy affair on my hands! :(

fhkin sweetest saxo mate! an inspiration to my saxo ;)

WOW thats soooo nice thats what i hope my VTS to look like soon :D

wow stunnng love it, doing the job properly though arnt you - the boltsare a nice touch and evry little help

Very nice indeed :) Always great to see such care and attention to detail and doing things properly.

Future plans are awesome aswel, good work :y:

I re-routed them all inside the rear arches as I had that prob too-looks shat with them trailing everywhere! Really fancy gettting a rear 'touring car' loom like Bic's car. All heat shrunk etc, routed neatly along the rear bench.:drink:

Lol yea, the only problen with the stuff I like is the expense....takes ages to do everything! I've had this car 3 years and it's only starting to come together now!

you like your carbon cars looking lush

Inside the rear arches? Please explain...

You mean outside of the car? Did you do the same with the fuel pipes too? Sounds dodgy.

looking good mate :y:

No you just take the rear door cards out and literally re route the wires in there instead!

OMG! this is definately one of my favourite Saxos!! everything is spot on! loving the carbonfibre! the mirror caps are the sex! :y:

fooking wicked mate love it

im giving you rep as your cars that nice (never been done from me:P)

you got some serous money going into that
