My Cream VTS - Page 4 - Saxperience

look at saxo_singhs for inspiration
think it needs to be much lower to pull off 13's, looks odd with a gap

also, not sure if you havent heard, but clicks on the torsion isnt the correct way

What u mean about the torsion bar mate? I was told its only been lowered one click on the back :/

he means doing it by clicks is the pikey way and can damage the beam causing premature failiure aswell as half the time they dont end up level across the car

you need to remove tha bars whilst leaving the arm in place and measure the drop you want its more accurate and doesnt damage the beam

Oooh I see lol I will make sure its done properly then wen I get it done I'm glad someone knows what they're talkin about lol

I don't really think it's euro, needs to be much smoother, lower and the wheels don't really pull it off.

Saying that I appreciate the effort thats gone into it and its a nice car. Just not euro yet.

Get rid of the Bra as thats overly chav!

Nice colour, just smooth the bumpstrips in, the VT arches, front splitter and mirror caps. Get a smoothed boot lid and then make the rear bumper have a recess for a uk size number plate.

Orange Indicators and repeaters, orange Not yellow fogs, lower it more and change the colour of the alloys to something abit lighter and more fresh but in keeping with the colour scheme. In fact I would put the VTS wheels back on but have them polished. Deslat the front bumper. Get rid of the exhaust recess and have a 1.1 backbox on.

Do your VTS wheels like so:

98% of places will do it by clicks
even places like pug1off do even after telling one guy they did it the right way then when he rang and asked why his car wasnt level they went well its clicks that can happen....

only really the guys doing it on the side youll get honest service off theres a few on here im too far from you really im trying to think of whos in your region but im having a blonde moment lol

robharnett · 7th May 2012, 19:44

Haha thanks anyway mate I need to get another rear beam cos altho cambered rear wheels looks nice saxos aren't meant to do it and I think lowerin a knackered beam more will just make it worse

LSOfreak · 7th May 2012, 21:30

the reason theyre cambered is probably due to lowering by clicks
krisb is the fella in the south who lowers saxos. near gatwick, does it for like £60 i think, worth the trip tbh

Looked good at BHP mate, Bit too many stickers for my liking. but over all i really liked it.

robharnett · 7th May 2012, 22:40

I think I'm gunna get rid of the majority of the stickers beacuase they r peeling and make the car look tacky and after seein the amount of people were buyin stickers at lydden today the craze is gunna wear off

robharnett · 11th May 2012, 07:30

Was having a think yesterday and was contemplatin gettin rid of the purple and goin for more of a chocolate brown colour instead. What are ur guys opinions?

robharnett · 19th May 2012, 14:42

Thought id take a few more pics of the car, not much has changed really other than ive painted the mirror caps to match the wheels

Ryan1992 · 20th May 2012, 00:21

Looks lovely in that last picture mate

i dont think it really needs to go much lower anyway tbh looks great how it is How low is it on the front now? I think the wheels would look better in silver/black though but that's just me..

mezza18 · 20th May 2012, 07:48

looks lush mate

vtr-marc · 20th May 2012, 12:12

really nice car mate

if anything please paint the metal behind your grill black, will look complete then

xxo0pko0xx · 20th May 2012, 13:03

i love the colour
i would have gone for smoothing the fogs and number plate and cut the verticall slats out with a dimma grill and itll look dead euro then but youve done a very good job!

Tim_Harbach · 20th May 2012, 13:04

I aware this was at a Colchester meet about a month ago??
