>>> TwoTone Mauritius R <<< Written off :(
I've had my Saxo for over a year now so I thought it would be about the right time to create my progress thread.
It bought the car for a knockdown £450, with 95,000 miles on the clock, 15" TSW alloys, alpine head unit, Vibe Slick 400w 6x9s, peco backbox and an pipercross (i think) air filter.
Here it was as i bought it.
The first thing i did was respray the interior trim components, the vents, the speaker grilles and the center section were all flatted off and sprayed silver.
Next I had to sort the engine management light and give the old girl a full service, including oil change, oil filter, fuel filter, spark plugs, new front discs and pads all round, topping up all other fluids, and a general clean up of the engine bay. Ran injector cleaner through the system and also a new gear knob, number plates and lexus lights  were fitted shortly after.
Next I thought I would upgrade the standard sound system with Fli Componants with directional tweeters for the front and a 1000W Fli Active Sub with built in Amp for the boot. These along with the infamous 6x9s sound quality, and im really happy with them  .
Next i repainted my calipers from yellow, to blue, and my rocker cover blue to keep with the theme.
More to come tomorrow, its taking longer than i thought lol.

It was cheap because the guy who i bought it off got done for drink driving and couldnt afford the insurance. MOT was nearing and tax was running out so he wanted a quick sale. It was originally up for 1200 but i got it for 450 in the end

Unfortunately, the wheel bolts were completely wrong and looked shabby anyway, so i invested in a brand new set of shiny bolts.

Much better
