Fingers crossed ill pass
But any ways here is the story
I haven got a car yet but have be considering my options ive got about 2.5k to spend this will include insurance etc
I was in the hair dressers yesterday and was having a chat with my hairdresser as she was cutting my bap lol She is heading to Australia at the end of sept and she will be selling her wee saxo
Its 1.0L Petrol sorta sky blue colour and its 3 door
Bog standard
The car is totaly clean not a scratch on it and i know for definate it hasnt been raked...if i was to go for it and take it i wud def want it lowered and get a set of rims for it
But wat wud a standard 1.0L look like slamed ona set of rims ??
I rekon i cud buy it off her for less than a grand
Any thought??
Cheers

Yes, if you get 60mm springs. I couldn't find any when I had mine lowered, so just went 45. Go 60 for sure, loads better.
I'll be lowering mine more soon

you will need 40 profile tyres on 16s if you dont want to remove arch liners but still might rub on the screen wash bottle
