My two tone saxo vtr - Saxperience

Hi I'm new to all this.
Got this car in October last year as you see it now just after my 18th birthday. I havn't had time or money to change some of the mods that are not to my taste. It has 50,000 miles and is in need of some subtle mods this summer.

Current mods - exterior:
15 inch team dynamics alloys in white
spax lowering springs
magnex exhaust CAT back
single wiper conversion
angel eye headlamps
black chrystal rear lights
window tints

interior:
pioneer head unit
cobra sports reclining seats
sub and amp
viper 480x alarm system with remote start

Just a few pictures now. I will take a few more when i get my new camera and once its had a good clean. Just want to know what you think and any ideas for modifications. I know the magnex enhaust system is not to most peoples taste as its a lot quieter than other systems but I need it to pass DB tests at trackdays.

I was thinking of getting a new induction kit or at least modify the one thats already on it as i don't think it is getting cold enough air to the engine...

Plans:
Take off the tints
Got some new yokohama parada tyres
Change the rear lights back to standard
I have the standard headlamps which i want tinting black
Not keen on the white alloys so will either powdercoat a different colour like black or anthracite or get some vts alloys powdercoated or go for some black pro race 1.2's
The cobra seats have to go as they look a bit cheap. Maybe vts seats should go in, or buckets and harnesses?
Get the engine cover painted same grey as the car.
De-wiper
Get rid of the sound system
General tidy up of the car.

Let me know what you think

and feel free to give ideas! thanks

nice mate,not a fan of white wheels on the two tones tho,darker colours usually look better on them.

Thats mint, if you'd said white wheels on a two tone I'd have thought it'd look crap, but seeing the pictures its really nice.

Love it.

i really like everything mate, to carry along with smoked theme id t-cut the badges

id keep the rear light on imo, its a good thing they are smoked tho because im sure they are snake eye lexus lights but you can get away with it if they are smoked

harry289 · 2nd April 2010, 17:12

thanks for the comments

Maybe it would look better if the alloys were a different colour like matt black or anthrecite? And yeah the rear lights are snake eyes, sorry

front angel eyes are cracked so would be changing them to tinted standard ones.

seats have to go as they are really worn!

Very nice twotone you have!!.......

harry289 · 6th April 2010, 18:56

Hopefully getting some vts alloys in the next couple of weeks, now to think of a colour to powdercoat...

vaux88 · 7th April 2010, 18:58

I was going to say S alloys would look good! Anthracite I reckon

vaux88 · 7th April 2010, 19:00

P.s. Think that's all I'd do, I like both sets of lights!

harry289 · 7th April 2010, 19:23

I have got into some money ''issues'' so looks like i may have to sell my car as i cant really afford to run it. A bit heart broken to be honest. We shall see what happens...

saxokid100 · 14th April 2010, 01:53

Anthracite I reckon .............................

As much as I don't want you to go down the anthricate 'S' rims (I've done the exact same) they look the absolute business on the Two Tone.
