Ok, I dropped the boot off today to get painted along with a lot of other little bits to get powdercoated.
Then after a couple of hours driving I picked myself up these bad boys:

quick update. spigot rings and polished centre caps came for the wellers. also got a quote from bandedsteels.com so they should be goin in within the next couple of weeks.
and I've been making a lot of progress on my front bumper too
and ive dropped the number plate down and found a new home for it
it's just a rough idea atm. got alot of work to do to get it to the standard I'm happy with
comments welcome

I like the look of where this is going. I always thought it would look cool to shortern the boot recess but i've never seen one like the mental image I had pictured until this! I think it looks really smart mate!

haha I had a couple of spare boots and an idea in my head, and I just went for it.
it's really hard to be unique on the outside of saxos these days. lots of ideas for the interior though

UPDATE:
A few weeks ago I got some GTI leathers. there's a small tear in the drivers seat but they will get a retrim eventually.
team heko wind deflectors went on.
Saturday I picked up my engine bay parts and bootlid
bay before:
bay after:
also found a crack in my manifold so I will change that next week.
just need my shorter plates now and the boot will go on.
C & C welcome, let me
