So I'm 18 I've just finished college and starting uni in September, i passed in January and have been driving for about 6 months i had a 1.1 Red saxo and im starting to try and do it up. This will be where i post all my updates and plans on what to do. Im Now 19 (2010)

Here's what ive changed:

T-cut badges
De-Wiper
Colour coded boot handle
tint headlights/rear lights, repeaters as well
Grill mesh - De-badge

Black VTR Alloys

Heres how she currently stands:

Still To Do:
Glossy black wheel nut covers - need to order from ebay
Mark2 spoiler - On its way need to respray
handbrake, pedals, gear knob - not sure need a cheap set, but my gear knob is broke
Red/blue LED Boot and Front - want 2 red leds if there bright enuff.. where do i get them
Blue LED for dials
Spray brake capilars bright red - need some red cap paint
Lower - 40mm front 50mm back soon i hope! ( this is my next big thing i want to do)
Exhaust - looking for a nice cheap not big exhaust with a nice sound...
Black bumpers/sidestrips - get the bump strips gloss black and all other black bits gloss
autoglym set clean!! - need to buy the set and give a great clean!

Thanks for reading any other ideas or things you think i should do please post thanks.

saxokid100 · 7th July 2009, 01:48

Think you should vt kit it up dude!!

kirtisb · 7th July 2009, 07:24

like others said start off with a vt kit then maybe some vtr/s alloys. then maybe start some sort of colour coding theme.

saxocallum · 7th July 2009, 07:40

sounds good mate but dont get a silver petrol cap!! lol

TraV · 7th July 2009, 11:34

Im a newb how much does VT kit cost and is it easy to do?

TraV · 7th July 2009, 11:36

My colour code will be red and black. i think cost then i dont have to change to much, but the only problem i hate is the bumpers and alloys. i can just buy alloys but the bumpers i cant afford a VT kit and i dont have a clue how to put it on, so i need a simple idea to make it look better.

TraV · 7th July 2009, 12:00

Can anyone help me with my bumpers please, i hate them! Im poor aswell so cheapest option.

TraV · 7th July 2009, 20:33

Anyone lol?

TraV · 7th July 2009, 22:12

How much does a VT Kit cost? Also would it be easier if i just sprayed my bumpers and side bar to match the same colour?

RJ303 · 7th July 2009, 22:16

Have a look on ebay or round the local scrappies mate - when you have enough posts you can look in the for sale section on here, they come up quite often.

jdizzy · 7th July 2009, 22:17

TraV · 7th July 2009, 22:20

im not sure as ive not done the VT kit on a flatarch before

Colour Code is when you colour the bumpsrips the same colour as the car

take a look at my progress thread and youll see what i mean

TraV · 7th July 2009, 22:42

Ok will do, i just cant afford much, so i was thinking about spraying the bumpers i have already making them same colour i just dno best way to do it, i just think it looks shit with black bumpers, and even i did get alloys first the bumpers would still look shit wudnt they?
