Somebody asked if I had a progress thread, the answer was no, so I thought I'd put one up, sorry it's not a Saxo.
I got this car back in February of 2008, here it is standard after a good clean not long after i got it:
When looking at reviews,
after getting the car (no logic there), i found that my car had been used in the reviews, look at the reg plates:

It was also used in a 4car review but that site has closed.
Basically this means my car was thrashed by some journalists/reviewers, lol.
Favourite quote from the carenthusiast.com review: "It is also worth noting that the chassis is stiffer than a pervert in a branch of Ann Summers."
I didn't really plan to modify it but the bug hit me.
First mod was a K&N filter:
That then got changed for a SuzukiSport carbon duct and filter that i got for £190 second hand, bargain considering it's over £500 new, and also fitted a carbon plug cover:
Then fitted my OMP strut brace that i also got mega cheap second hand:
Won some Enkei wheels on Ebay for a bargain price of £150 and bought some second hand D2 coilovers for £250:
It's only been dropped 20mm or so, plan to drop it a bit more soon.
Next was a mesh grill i got for £35 on Ebay, it was in perfect condition, would be £200 brand new.
I sprayed the silver mesh black:
New addition to my interior, got it from Ebay for just over £5 delivered from Hong Kong:
Then came a Monster Sport carbon fibre bonnet, got it for £600, never used, just under £1000 new, uber light and a good fit:
Purchased a SuzukiSport SP-X exhaust on Ebay for £235 second hand and shipped from Singapore, over £440 brand new:
Cleaned it up:

Also have blue wheel nuts on, and a two tone horn to replace the girly standard one, no pics of those though.
Waiting in my shed to be fitted:
- Lightweight crank pulley,
- Front and rear Whiteline anti roll bars,
- Summit mid roll bar,
- Rotrex supercharger and intercooler,
- Blue silicone coolant hoses,
- New fog lamp to replace chipped one on passenger side.
That's it so far.
