really like how thesis going fella, the small touches do make big differences and imo this is a really tidy example of a saxo, hasn't been ruined and can see its only going to get better, shame about the little issues you had but I'm sure you have or will sort it. was just looking at pictures of when you got it to the recent ones and it really does stand out more now in good way

They're £15 a side from Citroen.  getting a pair next Tuesday.
The above for behind the doors were £20 
It could be worse though. It could be £150 for 3 Type R decals ( kid you not) for a Hondaz from the dealers.

The Type R badge on the centre console was missing from my old DC5, Honda wanted £87 for a replacement. I wanted to shove my penis in the Parts guys eye socket
Anyway, Saxo looks cleaner than a clean thing, proof you can polish a turd

Yeah i've had some shit luck with the car. From the clutch failing, gbox mount working loose on a b road , rot in the bay, pump and injector failure and most recently a shitty side respray thats to be corrected next week. Been a headache like but im about through that almost 
Paintwork overall isnt bad like. Its not epic but not bad.
Cheers dude

I need the steering wheel logo on the bottom of the steering wheel - it's about 1.5cm wide by .7cm tall...

Do your Wilwoods squeak? Mine seem to squeak a lot when braking lightly, not Brembo type "nails down a blackboard", just like a creaky squeaking.
Looks very good nick going by the chassis rails.

After a month or so usage i do get the odd squeak yeah, only just noticed today. They're cleaned weekly so it's not the dust. Might just be the pads i dont know.. just standard pads/discs (for now).
Decided to take all 4 wheels off, clean them and put 2 coats of 1000p hi temp wax on them. Now they bead. 
.. and then clean the car cause it looked a shit tip. and thats it till it's big detail day/2 before FCS.
Because of the Jack before the "you're not low" comments flood in lol..
Over the moon with the car as it is atm, for a change.
Cheers all.

Not just you. Bumper isn't on straight. Very slight tilt up at the front causing misalignment at the joins at the back (wing etc) looking at it. Now we've pointed it out John will have to fix it or it'll grind him every time he sees it
edit: is that a scuff on the front bumper bump strip too?? Damn you're slacking Johnh!

if I'm honest, I only mentioned it because I knew it would annoy him! That said, it forces him in to super high standards so he really should thank us.

Yeah.. here's £52s worth of vinyls.
Cars in the bodyshop tommorow so pics probs Friday/Sat of it done. VT kit i doubt will go on till mid next week when the paint's 100% hard incase i press too hard and wear the paint. So it'll still look shit, but decent paint, haand hopefully be 1 shade or at least close.
After that it's just niggles here and there and a good wash etc for FCS really. Next month wont see much progress other then a Supersprint stainless centre section to decatzzzz it, finally. After the MOT though. Be a month or so break as i've spent a fucking fortune like, more then i've wanted to so, ha.

He just is.. he took shortcuts it seems at my expense. He'll be painting his own car soon enough, i'll make sure of that.
Another note the bodyshop it's booked in for said it's an absolute shocking job (well i knew that) no prep, nothing really. So the new bodyshop has to sort his work out and then re-do it all again, i'm sure he'll enjoy that lol.
Yeah after the first bodyshop i'm abit warey but we'll see. If it ends up tits up again i'll actually break in tears lol
