Worthwhile Saxo styling mods?

[welshy23]

In your opinions what would be the best way to go about modding your saxo to make it look mint. I've got a really well looked after black VTR thats like new.. any mods that are screaming out for it?....

Yeh its been lowered. Are rims really nessicary? in all fairness saxos stock alloys are nice enough as they are... speaking to a make, would making the whole car black... like t-cut the badge? tint the back windows and headlights and then whack a small amount of colour for a theme? thinking 85% Black, 15% lime green?. Rim tape in lime green? then fine line the saxo black sign round the edge? Black out and mesh the grill? inside the car take out the centre consol and spay it lime green? aswell as the air vent covers? to far?....

Tint, lower, angels

[Misky]

not feelin the lime green theme tbh, I dont like air vents painted either looks tacky imo.
something like:
silver center console,
nice back box,
light tints,

but really cant beat black on black!

[MikeyW]

Perfect stance there man !

Smoke your headlights and fogs.
De-wiper.
Maybe go for an exhaust system if you want more power, something like a supersprint centre and magnex or piper backbox would look sweet !

[LSOfreak]

how low is that?
i'd get gti leathers tbh the standard are quite bad imo
smoke headlights/fogs , exhaust system, black badges, black or white sprayed vtr alloys

lime green might look quite tacky

[marc_mcquilling]

refurb your wheels a dark metallic grey (gunmetal or graphite) then colour code ur badges nd everything else to them. then maybe an accent colour elsewhere?

[johnlambert]

lexus lights
big body kit
massive spoiler

joking,
the lime green sounds good tbh.
tints look great.
colour code badges
mesh grill
angel eyes maybe.
vts wheels.

Yeh love the look of some nice GTi leathers... where could i be looking for them and how much? My interior is nice, been looked after but i can see what u mean. I was gonna get some different to lexus light... anything but really what ever takes my eye and smoke them, get and ashley backbox? they seem to be nice. What i was gonna do is t-cut the badge, get it glossy black and the get a fine liner detialing paint brush and put a lime gren outer line around the citroen and saxo bit?. And my mate mention some black VTR alloys to go on it and i can see that working, sorta stealth look...

Its been lowered 60mm

[LSOfreak]

can get gti leathers from peugeot breakers/ scrap yards / ebay, just phone around basically to see whose breaking
usually cost about £250

got mine for 200 which is pretty gd

btw lookin at the 2nd 3rd nd 4th pic, is it me or is there some negative camber on the driver side rear wheel? beam problems?

[Snakedoc1987]

Laguna splitter and ibiza splitters look nice aswell mate! polish those aloys up aswell to make them sparkle and your on a winner!

Dunno mate, i dont have an eye for those things/know what you mean lol. dodgey lowering? didnt feel like there was a problem. My dad drove it and i drove it home 60 miles didnt feel anything.... Ahh i'll have a look around then. 250 aint bad for some tidy leathers... really improves the look of the car especially if u get some tints in the back

Jack the rear of your car up, then see if theres any play in the wheel, mine had the exact same thing, the MOT tester had never seen anything so bad, had to get a new axle and everything which cost me dear

[stevosvts]

I would;

de-wipper
de-badge
de-lock
spray wheels black
may be even smoke the front lights.

Give it a clean look and it will look really good.

Mate, it shines like a bitch, its the nicest saxo ive ever seen for its paintwork. but i was thinking de-lock but is it fidlly? dont you need torqx screw or w.e they are called?. de-badge looks a bit tackey imo. De-wiper sounds good..

[Mike_08]

Mate go with your idea sounds awsome to me. Don't be a sheep

[Liam_LFC_VTR]

"Lower on vts wheels" LOL

Everyone says that. Dont follow the crowd just do something unique that you would like

[SaxoKez]

thinking of going green, have a look at my progess thread, i got black wheels and lime green lip on there somewhere
