Whoever does that deserves to be shot, no questions asked, and there remains be buried beneath 6ft of dog shit.

Really just depends on your choice of alloys, more slabby flat faced alloys suit it well, I had ronal turbos done in blue black camo to match my roof liner on my Mk2 golf and lasted well.

I think there are too many saxo's out there sticking with VTR/VTS alloys so a bit of a change may be in order, vinal would help that.

PS they will do pretty much anything as long as they can program it into the computer to print/make the vinal.

I bought a set that had already been done and suprisingly they didnt chip as much as you think but they ended bubbling all over the place
