Saxo 1100 Progress SaxSpeed
Bought the saxo last week n done a few things so far
Firstly its a Forte 1.1 2002
with 38k on the clock,
Got hold of it for £850 so thats great

Fairly Standerd so far so first of all so did some free modifications
De-Wiper
Fairly Easy jus took the back panel off the boot removed the screws and bolts holding the wiper motor in and fitted a 22mm Blanking off Gromit.
T-Cut Badges
Really easy just get some T-Cut and go over the badges really nuting else to it.

De-Badge
Just poured some boiling hot water over the "forte" Badges on eather side and then sliped a credit card down the back and once they wer off i went over it with some t-cut to polish it up.

De-Cat
Took the 4 bolts off the heat sheild, and uncliped the 2 lambda sensors then toot the 2 clips off the top of the radiator, diconected the bottom hose and draind the water. Then took the 2 bolts out of the exhaust joining the downpipe to the piupe going to the backbox. Then took out the 8 bolts holding the manifold on and then finaly took out the bolt onto the gearbox.
Jack the front of the car up and take it out in one. Then i seperated the manifold from the cat, knocked the ceramic plates out of it then rebuilt the car back up.
Get a nice whine out of it and it will make do for the moment.
Getting a Full VT Bodykit, Dimma Grill, M3 mirrors and more on thursday, will let you know how it goes,
sorry if youv seen this post before just couldnt get the pictures to load
