that looks so sweet mate, proper jelous right now my flat arch is standard but seein this is kinda makeing me wanna do something to it, how big are those alloys?

[billytalbott]

15" tsw mate, cheers for the comment mate

[landerboi13]

car looks spot on mate. i'd just lower the front like you said and leave it as that..

[DanViner]

Yeah 2nd that it is definitely a nice little car IMO go for a vt bumper when you paint it they look so much better

[Sandy869]

Looks great that buddy! Makes me realize how much I need to lower my flatty lol! What back box you got on it?

[saxo-dude-16v]

get a green bonnet mate.

[billytalbott]

Nah sticking with the flat arch look and its a magnex backbox mate sounds soooo nice thanks for the comments people! More coments please!

[billytalbott]

Yer I'm looking for a green bonnet but there's none around, the only reason it has a black bonnet is because its been in a couple of crashes :/ cheers for your comment though mate also how much lower you think I go? Its lowered 35mm on the front and 40 mm on the rear, I was thinking 45-50 mm springs? Cheers

[saxomad197]

looks really good i can tell you have put alot of thought into the mods you have done so far

[saxo-dude-16v]

when you do get a green bonnet mate i think it will set the rest of the car off nicely

[saxo-parts]

looking good billy, about time you came up to see us in the saxo instead of the escort van though lol

[jack001]

Glad to see wot It will look like as mine Is gettin lowered tomorrow its exactly same colour flat arch but wiv vts wheels

[billytalbott]

Cheers people and yes I hopefully be up next month some time when I get more money, I will give you a pm mate with the parts I need cheers

[billytalbott]

More comments please people, rekon I should find a green bonnet or keep it as it is? Opinions

[Tom5190]

Looks good this I like. I'd get the bonnet and bumper sprayed though. There's plenty of decent flatties on here if your after some inspiration.

Edit: sorry read that wrong thought you said you had a vt bumper

[billytalbott]

Cheers mate and I rekon I need a green bonnet but there's none around :/ and I need 2 re paint the front bumper because its a dark shade of green and there's a few stone chips and want to do little mods to it aswell, cheers for the comment mate!

[billytalbott]

Right then want some opinions on this, I need some. Body work doing on the boot lid and I were thinking shall I de-badge the rear or not? Opinions wanted

[Tom5190]

ye do it, get the handle smoothed over to

[Liam-westcoast]

looks great that does mate, i think you should definatly get a green bonnet and you should get the badges smoothed.

will look really good!
