that would be cool , as for spraying shop around mate , a guy i know was charging £50 a panel , they ain't all busy these day's as money is short now , failing that have a go yourself , i did my vts alloys and i was well pleased with the result

[LSOfreak]

well the sprayings not really the problem. apparently its such a pain to weld up the bonnet becuase you have to cut a metal plate into shape and weld it on without it distorting the flimsy french bonnet, then roll the edges

im sure there is a fibre glass bad boy bonnet mate ? though with fibre glass spraying can be a pain , i had a mk 1 cortina gt yonks ago with afew light weight fibre glass panels on it in eventually the paint cracked in places nothing major but still not nice to look at , to be honest that bonnet sounds like hassle mate ( without putting you off )

[LSOfreak]

yeah you can get a fibreglass one off ebay for £140, but it looks like this which im not too keen about. dont like how curvy the bit over the grill is. prefer it to be a bit more angled like the previous pics, so it sort of looks a bit like a 106 bonnet

im swaying towards leaving it standard though. £300 is so much to spend on just a bonnet lol

[nuttysaxo]

with all the vibrations you get in a saxo mate that fibreglass bonnet would wobble like jelly too lol , your right stay standard

the splitter is screwed to the bumper, at the sides theres nowhere to screw to so its tigersealed

heres the link. its not really the same shape as that yellow/red saxo ^
i think it looks more curvy like the one on that green saxo ^

yeah that photo persuaded me to do it, best looking mk1 ive seen. Unfortunatly every bodyshop ive been to have shit themselves thinking of the work involved and the cheapest ive been quoted was £300 fuck that lol

im thinking i might sell on the morettes, dont think they really suit the car

[LSOfreak]

lol yeah very good point. what do you think if i just put on the black morettes and grill and left the standard bonnet on -like this guys

[nuttysaxo]

yes mate that still looks good plus if you get bored again you can easily swap all the standard stuff back over again

[LSOfreak]

yeah exactly. i just dont wanna regret getting rid of these morettes as they were so hard to come by

ill get the spray cans out

[nuttysaxo]

yes mate they only go up in value when they become rare , the xr2 fez ones always reach good money ! its a tasteful mod mate , you can't go wrong there

[couttsyboy]

im liking the half tinted rear lights mate

[LSOfreak]

quite a unique little mod

[LSOfreak]

well.... havent been here for a while

my driveshaft was fubar'd so i swapped that



and then my handbrake cable came loose and was making a horrible rubbing noise so i sorted that out



then i sprayed up the morettes matt black. the grill wasnt sprayed properly as im deciding whether to have it black or silver





then one day i was behind another fellow saxo driver when i couldnt help notice i could see his rusty spare wheel & cage, so i painted my spare wheel & wheel cage matt black



and used megs endurance tyre gel on the spare



and this is a random pic of my sub with the new alpine amp im considering getting rid of the stealth shelf with jbl speakers, and putting co-axials in the rear door cards

[nuttysaxo]

nice but how are you gonna do your shopping now with that speaker in the back ! lol , i had some big speakers in mine they were pretty short lived ! lol

[LSOfreak]

i throw the shopping on the back seat lol bad times when an egg broke on the carpet though

[LSOfreak]

lol brilliant

im sure a 'magic tree' was needed after that
