BIG UPDATE

Right, im due an update, and there's quite a few little mods i have done recently...

First, i got shot of the GB number plates, as i thought the light blue didn't go with the dark blue of my car...also they looked quite cluttered, so i made some new ones from work, with a single boarder and www.saxperience.com at the bottom.






Next it was time for a trip to the local breakers yards to find a standard air intake and a fog-light bulb holder. Went to the first yard, and they had the airbox and wanted £20 for it...needless to say i went to the next one. Luckily, they had a mango westy and a red 1.1, so i pillaged the bits from those... £5 for both!!!
Also saw that the westcoast still had a tasty little mk1 spoiler on the rear, my dad and i had a good go of removing it. Considering the saxo was 2 stories high (on massive shelving), we got up the ladders and coldnt remove it
Went home, defeated.
Came back 10 mins later with a heavy artillery of a few chisels, mallets, screwdrivers and hammers. In the end (after about 1 hour of hard work) we removed the spoiler, which was held on purely with tiger seal. We took half the paint off the westcoast and ruined the tailgate getting it off - but the spoiler was mint
Only cost £15

Primed and resprayed to match






Well chuffed with my respray
Becoming pretty good now

More to come after tea
