First Car! - Saxo 1.1 Desire Black

[Kierz]

Im 17 and very gladly received a 1,1 Saxo desire as my first car. It is all standard at the minute, except for a new stereo headunit that came with the car. I'm Looking at you guys for a bit of guidance..



I want to sweeten her up a bit, but I'm not sure where to start.

Im insured with directline and I dont think they let you mod anything if your under 25, is this true or not?

If not I just want to:
1) Get a sub and two component door speakers. (Maybe disconnect the rear speakers or is it ok to leave them?)
2) Buy some second hand VTS/VTR alloys and strip them and paint them white
3) Get some smoked back lights and some new headlights (not sure which headlights).
4) Mesh the grill
5) Possibly look at lowering it by 30-40mm.

Do you reckon direct line might allow me to buy some alloy wheels for it considering they will only cost about £80 second hand? If not, reckon I could paint the steel wheels white or would it look tacky?

My uncle could sand blast the steel wheels and powdercoat them if I cannot get insured with alloys.

Reckon I should powdercoat them white?
