Posi blue furio - Saxperience

jamieross · 17th June 2009, 17:03

Well this is my first car, ive got my test in 6 days, failed first time but should hopefully pass this time.

This is it the day i bought it

It cost me £1100 with 47000miles on the clock, 1 owner etc. do the vtr alloys come standard on this or is it wheel trims and steels?

Since i bought the car ive had to fit a new coil pack and spark plugs. cheers france!

Ive not really started to modify in any way yet, just bought new plates for it, new shortened aerial, new head unit and fitted the saxp stickers

I cleaned it, polished it, put some back to black stuff on the bump strip and put on the new plates

fitted my saxp stickers

Future plans are:
Lower it about 40mm
Respray the wheels either black or white?
put smoked jewels on the back
colour code the front lights
smoke side repeaters
de-wiper
fit a sub and amp
get all the badges either black or white depending on the wheels
and remove the furio stickers

please comment and/or advise anything else that would look good, i just like subtle mods nothing to crazy

cheers jamie

WELCOME

ye steelies and hub caps or the furio alloys where the manufactures options. The Vtr wheels and the wing mirror have been fitted.
looks like a real bargain at £1100

good lookin furio mate sounds like a steal at that price wit that milage i bought mine 2 yrs ago wit 50k on the clock for 3500

Marky_C · 17th June 2009, 18:28

Smart motor mate. Looks mint! Looks like a good buy

Had a productive day today

First i removed the furio badges

then i t-cutted all the badges on the back

then i de-wipered it and my friend attacked my car with the alpine sticker! lol

then i treated it to a wash, wax, back to black on the bumpers.

i bought a dvd player for the car today, and the lowering springs are getting ordered this week

not fan of the apline sticker but i like the blue saxos glad you t-cutted your badges and vtr alloys look cool. good choice in taking off the furio badge as well. mk1 lights or smoked rear jewels look gorgeous on blue saxos do it

jamieross · 20th July 2009, 00:16

yeah im not much of a fan either tbh! my mate did it lol

im thinking of just smoking the standard lights?

TU-Tuning · 20th July 2009, 00:18

Looks spot on mate, absolute bargain too! I reckon a nice set of multispokes or VTS rims would go well with the car. Whether you go for smoked lights depends on what rims you get imo.

Personally I think posi blue saxos look best with std front and rear lights and some decent rimmage on in silver

jamieross · 20th July 2009, 00:22

im thinking of painting the wheels in either black or anthracite and smoking my lights this weekend

got a dvd player to fit too

essexdon · 20th July 2009, 00:23

Looks like a real bargin pal, when doin this prog thread ALWAYS do what you wana do!!! lol but the alpine vinal is rather large lol

Sneakydevil89 · 20th July 2009, 08:41

looks good mate. some good plans theyre as well. smoked jewels on a posi sax looks the nuts.

jamieross · 20th July 2009, 16:59

EazyDayz · 22nd July 2009, 10:27

grab some t-cut and wipe in on the wadges untill the silver paint rubs off i used rubbing compound which is corser than t cut but basically the same thing and i used a brillo pad which helkped getting the silver off just becareful u dont slip and rub your brilo pad on your paint work lol it was taking me ages with just a normal cloth tho
