Wow chill haha, on that pic at the begining of your thread there too high up.
I've had 3 VTS's including the one I have now and none have been that high up. I can send you pic if you like? Just thought it may have come without them and you have stuck them on thats all.

Fair enough, No worrys, feel free to send me pictures im more then happy to have a look. But its how it was brought, iv had it for about a year and a half now. The owner who had it, only had it for 6months as he couldnt afford to insure it. Its been well looked after with all details with what has been done to it, reciepts the lot with it.
Had it all checked over and everything is how it should be.

Yeah cool, I do like a good modded car, I used to be into all that stuff but I'm more into the clean standard-ish look now, It does make me smile when I see a decent one tho
I dont have any pic on at the mo but i will try.
Just for info see the little clip on the back window, the badges are usual lower than that, it just caught me eye on your pic, maybe they've been taken off at some point and someone has replaced them.....Iv had mine stolen before!!

haha all the cars you see driving around with saxo 16v badges stuck all over them have probably been stolen....
When i had my bodykit years ago it was like a snow plough in this weather haha and i couldnt drive anywhere coz it was about inch off the floor. I had to drive miles out of my way everytime a met a speed bump ha.
Looks good anyway, yeah take your time n do it properly  just get in lowered n pop some bigger wheels on, VTS ones do look good but i reckon bigger would suite your car better.

Where my boyfriend lives all he has is speed bumps around his area and yes a swear everytime as im going like 1mph over them lol  Reason why i need my front bumper repaired is cause of those bumps!
Yeah i keep thinking about bigger wheels, just not sure what size to go for? as i dont want to go too big and the handling of the car ends up being pants!  lol
I really like the WolfRace Matrix alloys atm they do them in 15inch - i think 16inch and they have them in 17inch aswel.

Yeah they would actually suite your car, I've just a look at them on google.
Erm...I'd prob go for 16's then if you can, 17's need arch work doing aswel, you planning on lowering it? my old sax was lowerd 50mm on 16's and that seemed to be fine, had be carefully about taking fat prople in the back but it didnt scrap 90% of the time. 17's would look sweet but it depends if you wona spend the dosh. Plus 16's would be better for handling.

 Awww thats good that you think they suite, iv been for ever looking at all different wheels. been asking so many people aswel what they think.
Im going to try and get hold of 16's im sure they do them. i do want to lower it about 50mm also, all depends if my new sideskirts will let me get low enough lol. < iv got some brand new aggressor skirts to put on.
No affence to anyone but i do try and keep fat people away from my car lol I had 4guys stuffed in me car few months back and the car was noticablly lower! lol mad braking abit difficult aswel  haha!

Thank you for your comments. But there your opinions at the end of the day. I like my car and im still going to be doing more things to it.
Why would i want to go standard when i want a car that stands out from the rest. And it does stand out and Im very Happy with it.
Each to there own : )

Fair Play to you
It's nice to see someone doing somthing different on this site for a change.
You found some alloys yet?
Keep up the good work

They didn't make them in 16's, don't have a clue why!
You got any other wheels in mind? - http://www.alloywheels.com/search.as...del=Saxo%20VTR

These - http://www.performancealloys.com/whe...s.aspx?ID=1304
Only because i have them on my Golf
lol, serious - I don't have a clue. When i had my saxos ive always had standard saxo wheels. I think getting the right wheels to suit your car is a tough one as there are so many to choose from.
EDIT - Try looking throught these, http://www.performancealloys.com/all...11598&PCDID=32

If I was you Stacey I would try for the 17s. Youve put alot of work and effort into the car & 17s would set it off better. 16s look too small on bodykitted cars IMO. You have the pic of mine with 17s on and you can see they look better. They arent too bad for handling either, not as bad as people make out anyway.
Coming on well though,

Yeah im going to give 17" ago, i just need to find the time to get down to motormaina, as they are very good in getting the wheels out and putting them next to ya car to see how they look.
At the Lakeside meet on the 18th i might have to kindly ask someone down there who has 17's on there saxo so i can have a feel on how it handles 
You car does look the part tho with your alloys.
Some many choices!!!!  lol

Exactly  I have 17's so can speak from my experience  and, in all honesty and Mike will back me up. My car with the 17s on grips & handles better than his & 2 of his mates who are all on 14/15s

 whoop! what tyres should i go for tho?
And i think iv found the perfect person to mod me arches so they fit nice and snug. And to also do all the bodywork i need doing. 
Me family are a bunch of hyped up motox riders and they are very buddy with a few people that can do car spraying for mates rates and are very good at it so no chance of being had! again! and also now people that own the company momo. < i would get discounted wheels from them, but i just dont like the style  lol i know fussy!
