Hey, new to the site so thought I’d start off with a progression thread.

Bought myself a 1.1 2001 Citroen Saxo Forte in blue and as you can see from the pictures, the guy who owned it also liked to modify his car.

I personally didn’t like the white front & back badges, and the white wheels. Didn’t think white went very well with blue. I thought the tail lights looked a bit tacky too, so decide first thing I’d do was to change them.

I took off the white badges at the back and just replaced them with the standard colour ones. I took the Lexus style’s off and replaced them with the standard rear lights, then just went over them with a few coats of tinting spray. Didn’t want them completely black so went for a smoked/jewelled look.

I sprayed the wheels black, as well as the front Citroen logo, thought it went down a lot better then white. Also went over the side repeaters with a few coats of the tinting spray.

That’s as far as I’ve got, I was thinking next I’d t-cut the rear badges and maybe paint the headlights black, as think that would go pretty well with the blue/black look. Currently working on the audio but haven’t decided what to get yet. Any opinions of other things I could do, or my current plans?
