Car(s): Flat arch 1.1 Saxo
bjkzsnfnk is on a distinguished road
Default Black flat arch (slow build)

Hey everyone, thought I might as well record my progress here. I put up a thread on the new arrivals section but I wanted to show future progress here. Here are a couple of snaps of my car currently:
















No interior pics yet but you can see it through the windows in most pictures.

On my list of upgrades are:

- Lower front wheels (30-40mm?) Not going to lower the back as it would be impractical for me because i'm usually lugging 4 other people around in the car and I don't want it to scrape :l
- Alloys! Anybody know what would look good on it?
- Change front grill ( Gunna paint the current one black tomorrow, but I'm probably going to end up meshing it.)
- Put a smaller aerial on it. Current one is stuck on, am I just supposed to unscrew it?

Got a couple of other ideas, I need to clean the engine bay up, got a bunch of degreaser and shizzle ready to do it if it doesn't rain in the next few days as I have time off work. Anybody have any other suggestions? I've had a look at other peoples builds since i've been lurking around and got some good ideas from that.

Cheers everyone!

(p.s yes im going to get rid of those shit metal things on the side of the car)

My flat arch was 60 all round on VTR alloys, and it didn't scrape I'll find you a picture mate!

EDIT: Found one, and one of it on 15s

Awesome mate, that looks pretty tidy! Do the 15s fit straight on or do you have to get a bit of work done on it?
Also what is up with your bonnet in the first picture? Did the back scrape at all even with heavy weights/passengers in the back?
Cheers!

The rear arches were trimmed slightly, and it had 10mm spacers on it.

I had bonnet lifters on it due to the front end being twisted, it made the bonnet sit better!

And I never had it scrape, but I did bottom it out and get the front bumper stuck on kerbs
