D_G_SAXO · 14th June 2007, 16:10

Thanks guys i am going to lower it myself in a week or two is there any tips or anything i should know before i do it?

Oh if anyone have any black angel eye headlights let me know asap.

Also i was going to lower it 30mm would this be ok or should i go 40mm??

just start spraying wd40 on the rear torsion bar to ease it up for when you lower it. i say go for 40 at least, mines lowerd 40 but gonna go lower when i put vts rims on. depends whether you want looks or handling

I am going to remove the fog lights in a bit as well and smoke them using the how to guide.

But i am not sure weather to leave them out?

i will smoke them anyway and see how it looks.

Oh and when the weather is better i am going to spray the rubstrips and grey bits ont he bumpers the same colour as the wheels.

D_G_SAXO · 15th June 2007, 07:26

Thursday/Friday 14,15th June 2007

Ok i took the fogs lights off yesterday and one of the fog lights had a cracked lense so i broke it trying to get it off u can see in the pics.

i sanded and primered the fog lights yesterday and finished them off with the black paint today just letting them dry now and i will refit the lense on one off them tomorrow lol.

If anyone has a right hand fog light or lense please let me know asap so i can get these back on the car.

Welcome to the green club I guess, I would have been tempted to keep the alloys silver myself as the black contrast on a dark green is a bit to much with vtr wheels. Looks good though

Going to have a look on ebay now see if i can get the foglight if no luck might try my local breakers haveloads of saxos but i think most of them will be frot end damage.

k2thecsaxo · 21st June 2007, 16:52

install is looking good mate nice job there, definatly get the fogs in there mate i think otherwise too much of a contrast between headlights and where the fog gaps are completely black lol if you understand my strange way
