I have just bought my first car four days ago being a saxo vtr and i love the hell outta it.
I have about £1000 to do it up in january, was just hoping for some suggestions on how to modify a saxo without it looking chavvy, i want to get it lowered and a couple of other mods but not sure on what mods to do.

Subtle is your friend.

Lower like 40mm all around, spray standard vtr alloys, keep the paint and body work in good condition, nice small tail pipe exhaust system. Smoked lights etc.

Also try find a colour theme for your car

Do what you want, don't listen to people that call you Chavy because they don't own your car.

Only chavs call people chavs. As long as you like it, who cares. I have a raised bonnet and people always tell me it looks shit. I don't really care what others think about my car, its what you think looks good. May i just add though that cheap lexus lights are a no go.

Do whatever you want!
That's what modifyin's all about! Sure you can stick to the norm but.. For example.. I recently put up a thread asking about Cherry-Bomb exhausts.. All I got back was "no no no no no no".
I bought one anyway and I totally love it! Just goes to show, It doesn't matter what folk on here think, It matters what you think of your style, they're not driving it!
