Here is my 5 door 1.1 gold saxo. It’s a mark 2 from 2000 and has 76,000 miles.
Bought it after getting frustrated of not being able to find a small engined car which had to be 5 door Ended up buying this even tho I never intended on buying a saxo. Anyways bought it in May 2008 for £1300 with 12 month mot and 6 month tax and a jvc cd player. I guess I did over pay it was advertised at £1500 wish I had waited till the credit crunch hit cars lol.
Well the first thing I did was put on P plates lol family insisted, anyway car was bog standard for a while since I didn’t intend on doing much in the first place only a 1.1 afterall here is how it looked.
After discovering saxperience and seeing so many people doing things it just grew on me and I had to do some mods lol.

ICE
Anyway got some ice sorted. Ended up changing amp and sub about 3 times first 2 times they were too low third was good but died (although I ended up not paying fully lol long story) anyways now settled on 2 Alpine amps and a SPL Dynamics sub the comps at the moment are FLI ones but planning on making door pods in summer and putting in 17cm SPL Dynamics comps
Amps: Alpine MRP – 350, Alpine MRP-T130
Sub: SPL Dynamics V-300-D4 (wired to 2ohms 350rms)
Box: 35 litres sealed
Comps: SPL Dynamics 6.2
Next I wanted to add some sound deadening so bought this off CAD after reading good things:
Great stuff and easy to work with and has made a difference just need to deaden the boot floor and under rear seats now, think al just use something a bit cheaper but Second Skin is very worth the price! I don’t see it coming off in a hurry unlike the crappy stuff I had a bit of before.
Interior
It’s pretty much standard minus the Flocked centre console and tweeters. Had a moment of madness when I got the car tho lol
Before:
After:
Alloys
After looking for some good vtr alloys for ages but none being sold around me or they were damaged etcc… ended up looking on ebay ebay and found these for quite cheap got all 4 for £115 delivered! In two minds of if I should get new rubber for them or just use my current ones since there the same size. I guess it will depend on cash flow and if I get a job been 4 years looking and no part time job!
Heres the alloys, simple but I like them wont stand out too much:
Maintenance
Got the cambelt and waterpump changed costed a fair bit since some other things needed doing at the time too. Also clutch will prob need changing soon too saxo’s I guess typical lol but after it all I reckon should be a good few years of trouble free driving am planning on keeping saxo for another year or two if it lasts. Insurance has raped me tbh over £2000 on a 1.1
god damn area and drug dealers!
Broke at the mo so alloys prob wont be going on till I get next student payment.
Progress will be slow me thinks
also need to get some decent pics when weathers a bit better!
Anyways that’s enough for now wrote this all in one go so sorry if I made some mistakes
