Wicked Red MK1 Flatarch Saxo Scandal Progress Thread

[Willpower]

I'm new to this and this is my first project so i've done quite a lot of work already and decided to start a progress thread!

I got my first car in March this year after passing my test, his name is Johnson haha, don't ask me why just seemed to fit!! He's an Mk1 Citroen Saxo Scandal 1.0l Flatarch in Wicked Red.

So far i have:
Replaced Steelies (3 studs)
Refurbished new alloys
Added mirror caps & sprayed wing mirrors
Sprayed grill gloss black & chevrons red
Rear badges sprayed black
Window wipers sprayed red
New number plates
Added a saxo brake light cover
Replaced standard bulbs with blue tinted Xenon bulbs

Future plans:
Gloss black bumpers & strips
Tinted rear lights
Angel Eyes (hinting at the girlfriend for christmas )
Tinted rear windows
Tinted side repeaters
Retrim door cards
Possibly spray centre console & fans
I hate the scandal seats! so eventually replacing the interior but will get some seat covers soon for the mean time!

How he was when i got him:



And how he is now:

That's not wicked red, wicked red was only on mk2s.

What colour is it then mate? Pretty sure I've seen several wicked red mk1s..

Looks very nice mate. . other than the wheels, seem a bit OTT!

The gloss trim looks ace. Think it would look pretty sweet with some fogs in. Personally make the front of these cars

EDIT: Who gives a fuck what colour it is. . its clearly red. End of lol

Persian i think?

I too thought this, but it certainly looks like wicked red, what's the paint code? It'll be on the passenger side strut top

It definitely looks wicked red I'll be honest!

Anyway it's a lovely looking MK1 just not a fan of the wheels

[Willpower]

Haha I've always just assumed it was cos it looks like all the other wicked reds! The chevrons, mirror caps and wipers are definitely wicked red and they match as far as I can see. And yeah mate I've actually bought some fogs will put them on eventually!

In fairness they could be worse. . and there are worse on here. But i personally think, as boring as it is, a set of S rims would look sweet. But if you like them mate . . aslong as your not going down the halfrauds style track lol
