cheers man and loool....chrome snake eyes have to be thee most gash rear lights ever made not even funny lol - saw them on a 306 and then a old punto with black bumpers the other day you'd have to be heavily on crack to own those.

nice car, love that 106 in the first pic too!!

postman came today with my mk1 rear lights

here's a picture half an hour a go...when i took it though it was really cloudy so the colour of my car changes in the light lol.

i try t keep on top of this car, change the oil every 3k, don't rag it oftern polish it oftern yet i can never keep on top. car is perfect apart from now the backbox is blowing and my rear brakes on the way out. and to top it off where i live they have re-paved all the roads the cheap and nasty way so i have had loads of stone chips from other viechles on the other side of the road send about 5 small chips on my bonnet and around the grill and 7 tiny chips in my windscreen. what's gonna be next the classic gearbox going?

Cheers mate! ironically i was looking at silver. my dad had gone to look at one in the morning. the guy selling wanted £1900. I looked on autotrader, rung 8 silver vtrs all around 51 plate and around 60-70k milage all were sold. Saw a gold 1 in southampton for sale for just £1400 on similar milage (79k) went had a look. mint and managed to get it for £1200.

Next 2 mods are going to be de-wiper and smoked side reps. where did you get the de-wiper gromit from? and the smoked side reps on ebay are alll around £15! so going to look around for cheaper..

Right. Had a new cat & downpipe fitted back in may. Well engine management light has kept coming on. Diagnotistic test said cat is knackered. Sooooo under the warrenty having a new cat fitted once again can't understand why it didn't last more than 8 weeks to be honest....Just glad the problem which I thought would be big with the managment light coming in is the garages problem and not mine as i'm tight for money as it is.

SaxoIOW · 11th July 2009, 16:05

very nice and plans sound good too! If your still interested in thoes citroen number plates you can get them from here: http://www.4plates.co.uk/builder.asp

lukeyyyyyyy21 · 24th July 2009, 12:55

had my new cat fitted my 3rd..but exhaust being a bitch still. and problems with back box blowing so sod it along with the centre box and possibly the manifold. I'm saving up and my priorities for the next few months is to have got a janspeed 4-2-1 manifold with the sports cat then from there a supersprint cat-back.

Itz_Jamez · 24th July 2009, 12:59

I love gold saxo's they make me hate mine lol

lukeyyyyyyy21 · 7th August 2009, 14:33

^^ thanks man...

So after finally finding out what was wrong with my cat and why i am on my 3rd i now know what the problem is and not only that the engine management light has turned off on its own.

Smoked Side Repeaters

Areo wipers - I strongly recommend for those that haven't got them - they're excellent

lukeyyyyyyy21 · 13th August 2009, 18:10

Saved up for my janspeed 4-2-1 manifold with the sports cat that will be arriving soon. can't wait. then i shall have the centre box removed also. wooo

lukeyyyyyyy21 · 24th August 2009, 16:37

Finally arived today from kam-racing wooooo

changed the oil again last week, fitted panel filter today - fitting the 4-2-1 mani tomozo
