A bit stuck
Ok,
Ive was reading a lot of posts on here this morning, mainly progress threads and its really getting me in the mood to mod. I am a bit stuck though because I’m not going to lie, I don’t know a lot about cars!!! Would you help me out, give me advice on what you would change.
I’d appreciate it a lot. This month is the month its actually finally going to start changing!!!
I will get some new pictures up soon, Im going to clean her this weekend and get the leaking sorted.
So far she's had a new exhaust and some silicon!! (for the leaking roof)

Might be getting some VTR wheels of off SubtleVTR, so hopefully thats sorted!! But not sure if they should be White or Black.
Had abit of trouble with the stickers cos they have been sprayed around. Dont know the full history of what its been through...
I need a standard VTR bumper, fogs and wheels... just not sure how to make it look less rally-wannabe.

Yeh cos if you see it in the flesh its dirty, the lights leak and have steamed up. One doesn’t work. The front lights are loose due to the bumper. The black around the doors is peeling off. The back Saxo badge is falling off. The sunroof has been stuck on, the rear seats are ripped; the Handles in the front are non-existent. So really the list goes on...

White is an amazing colour to work with, looks absolutely stunning when its clean and polished etc 
Really try and come to French Car Show if you can, its a brilliant chance to get some good ideas for your car and see other mods and ideas in the flesh
You'll get some really good advice too im sure

I think, take the vinyle off, get a set of white oz racing alloys and take it form there? The car looks well at the minute but thats just what i would do, have you got any engine mod's?

dont bother with the xantia engine, no point doing engine swaps, you can just buy a vts for half the price of the engine swap.
get some wheels (off me) remove the splitter (sell it to me) and sort out the few tatty bits.
i love the white saxos. think it would look sweet on black rims.
