Nice one for the comments people, must mean im doing something right haha! 
With the pictures i use a sprinkle of imagination, a teaspoon of Nikon DSLR with a hint of Photoshop CS3 
Going to be trying to sort some limo tints next week maybe, also need to upgrade my dampers too.
What do you think of the idea of getting my plastic parts on the bumper painted in the hazard yellow & black?

The hazard stripe thing i was thinking of, i've changed my mind, would of looked gash tbh!
Ash, as far as im aware its 55 on the back, thats what i asked for anyway from the guys who did me a refurbished axle
I've been wanting to fit my Ashley backbox, but the hanger it came with is sh*t, and makes it too low, and my car is already quite pot-hole un-friendly! CES had nothing, Kwik-Fit, Motor-Mania, Halfrauds 
Does anyone know where i could get one from? But a better fitting one, so it sits up to the bumper? Or would i have to just mod the orignal hanger? I'm liking just the roar from the pipercross open atm though

Car looks really good man. How much shorter do you think you need to make the hanger?

Cheers Ben! Saw you yesterday, i think you saw me and beeped back
The hanger needs about a 3inch chop (guess) to get it to sit right, but im in too minds about fitting it, the sound from the induction is enough for me at the moment!
Can anybody recommend a place to get a Janspeed mani'? Apart from Kam? What do you guys think of these? Would i get the performance boost if i still ran a standard backbox? (i would change the centre-section to a less-restricting one).

Cheers for the comments folks! 5AMBO, I changed my mind on the hazard strip thing pretty quick, didn't know what i was thinking! 
Update for yo'all..
Fitted my Ashley backbox today and also fitted a 1.1 centre pipe as it doesnt have a mid-silencer, the pipe is also bigger in diameter than the VTR pipe, It feels a lot more free when dropping gears, does feel like gasses are escaping quicker! Sounds quite fruity, ended up just making my own hangers for the exhaust 
Also me and liam_VTR T-cutted my rear badges the other night on none other than maccy-d's, brap brap!! Looks sweeeeet! Cheers for the help dude.
The shittest thing happened today, proper sods law moment. Cleaned my car, pulled out of the drive went to turn around and some impatient pube in a Zafira tried to squeeze between my car and the kerb when i was turning right, and scraped my bumper and cracked N\S rear light. He's paying for the damage though, so killer! He was driving his gfs car to the shop and is uninsured on it, i don't care as long as i get my money for the damage tbh!
Hopefully painting my calipers in white hammerite tomorrow, that should be a nice touch.
Will be updating with pictures of the progress and damage tomorrow when my camera stops being lame and refusing to connect to the laptop!

Finally sorted out my camera, must of been on a camera-period or something. Here are the pics..
T-Cut badges (again cheers Liam_VTR for giving me a hand!) and Ashley backbox fitted (I love the angle they come out at!)
The damage that the uninsured prune did..

Update
Totally forgot to update the thread with the latest news  But seeming as I'm at work with nothing to do, thought i'd update.
The guy who was driving his girlfriends car without being insured on it finally came through after a week, and gave me the £50 i asked for, awesome
Then i got a tax-return, wait for it............ £2000!. I've banged 1k of it away and then been blowing the rest on anything and everything (not all on the car of course  )
1) Had the rear windows tinted limo styleeee, to aid the stealth look.
2) Purchased some 5k xenon bulbs
3) Stripped out the rear seats
4) Fitted 1400watt In-Phase subwoofer
5) Bought a Raceland 4-2-1 de-cat manifold from Lee_VTR1 (nice on dude)
6) Got a "I'm not drunk just avoiding potholes" sticker for the rear bumper
Now the looks and style of the car are coming together I've started to concentrate on the performance side (hence the manifold purchase). Next its either cams, or go down the 'S route and rebuild the engine over a few months, so i get a better knowledge of the saxo engine and so the engine will be kushty when i do fit it.
Will update with the latest pictures tomorrow, havent got my camera with me atm. As i know thats what all sax-p'ers like
P.S.. would you class the car as "slammed" too? I asked for it to be dropped 55mm on the back, but on the VTR rims, it looks like 100ish?
