My project thread *UPDATE 15/03/08*
Here is my saxo got it for about £1000 a month ago, I went to see it at night and well that was a mistake as Ive found that the bodywork certainly needs alot of work, Ive took it on the chin and decided to make it into a project.
Things that I will do, in order.
-Bodywork.New bumper and back right hand side wing and bonnet refinished.
-New exhaust system, Probally piper.
-Lowering, 40mm?
-Air filter or induction kit.
-Suggestions?
Here are some pics
Bad Paint on rear drivers side wing
Bonet chips. need a new refinish
new bumper, needed cracked.
Thats about it really, if anyone can give me any tips along the way it would be much apreciated
cheers

Doesn't look bad mate. Digging the colour!
Plans sound good too...! Maybe some french plates to spruce it up a little, and dewiper? And replace that missing chevron at the front...

£30 for the pair. Suppose at a breakers you might be able to just take it, and put it your pocket... They won't be expensive anyway though...

Ive went to a local body repair shop today, been quoted 250 for the bonet to be refinished and the rear wing refinished as well as the 2 dints to be removed.
Didnt know if this was a good price so I booked it in because theres no were else round here that does it
