Chapter One: The Birth of Tiffany
So back in February 2007 i passed my test, went crazy in my mums Ford Focus, and was forced to buy my own car. I settled for a 1.1i 1997 Amazon Green Citreon Saxo. I would have liked a bit more of an engine, however, insurance wouldn't have liked it. So in March 2007 I got a call from the garage down the road saying they have an excellent Saxo in. For £1000, I got a 1.1i Saxo with 118k on the clock, however, it did come with a years tax, a years MOT, six months warranty and a full tank of petrol! I wasn't going to modify it to begin with.
Chapter Two: Bitten By the Mod Bug
Within a week I'd bought a Sony headunit with an aux-in. Was dead chuffed! Fitted it and barryed hard for a long time!
Next was spraying the centre console and heater and speaker surrounds silver, which was then followed by a strange green from HomeBase. You'll all be glad to hear it's now back to black!
Then some d*ckhead smashed my wing mirror and I decided to get some M3 ones to replace them. DIY over-smoked rear lights and smoked headlights continued the dark theme with my hub-caps being sprayed black to match.
Chapter Three: A garage full of parts
Next up I ran into some money and some luck; so came some three stud alloys, a R&A Designs front bumper and a VT* Kit in amazon green. However, running into money didn't go hand in hand with running into bother! Nothing was put on for a good four months.
Chapter Four: Realisation
I woke up one morning and realised that the car needed sorting so on eBay i went; a VT* exhaust, replacement glass for the original wing mirror, new smoked jewels, a leather interior, mirror caps, splitter. AND I started to fit everything I'd already got.
Chapter Five: It begins...
The smoked jewels arrived!
Dewipered, got the back bumper on, smoked jewels fitted and alloys on along with the VTR back box.
Fitted the new interior.
To complete the interior, I decided to spray the centre console in iPod white to match the buckets and also ordered a Momo Millenium Wheel and matching gear knob. Also got a Richbrook gaiter surround and ordered some new mats.
Thought it was time to tidy up the outside next, so lowering springs were ordered and the car was booked in for lowering! Bought some smoked side repeaters as well. I also began to refurbish my alloys.
