hi i want to start doing my saxo but have never done it before. does anyone know of a good place to find step by step guides? either on the net or anywhere for that matter!!

What is it that your looking to do?

Right here on Sax-P we have quite a few 'how to' guides that will get you started

looking to get new mirrors, spoiler, body kit alloys etc also gear gaitor/surround and handbrake but i dont want to touch anything cos ill just break it!

any help would be appreciated

What kind of Saxo do you have? Alloys are a pretty straight forward switch unless you're going above 16". As for bodykits I wouldn't attempt that unless you know what your doing. You're best taking it to a bodyshop.

ive got a standard 1.4i p reg. the only thing ive done so far is i got some lexus lights cos they are simple to do. what sort of things would you reccomend are a good start? i dont want to go too mad just yet as i want to have a go at doing stuff myself

Does the P reg 1.4 have the VT* arches or the 1.1i body?

First thing I would do would be alloys and lower the car, then you could go for an exhaust and window tints. Those are pretty simple things to start off with that aren't too expensive.

Just a word of warning, you'll probably get a few people on here telling you to change the lexus lights, but if you like them then don't take any notice

lol ok cheers!
its got the 1.1 body

the main concern i have is that i dont want to buy something and then have to pay someone else to put it on as im only 21 and just cant afford it!!

basically what im looking for is a manual for stupid people that havent got a clue!!

Try the haynes modifying manual, you can buy one from places like halfords etc.

mumbles31 · 16th May 2006, 00:11

ok cheers i will have a look

yeah definatly get ya self the haynes saxo manual. you could maybe look at getting ya self a vt* body off ebay or somewhere,might even get one already sprayed and all ya goa do is fit it ya self,shouldnt be too hard.first things most people do is as certifiable said is wheels,lower,exhaust,induction kits,what you looking at mainly doing?exterior mods?interior mods?or bit of both?

Get the haynes off ebay, they normally go for around £5. Defo worth it. Can buy most things off ebay cheaper (vt kits, lights, interior bit n bobs etc).

mumbles31 · 16th May 2006, 18:54

im looking to a bit of interior and exterior work. im really suprised at how helpful everyone has been - thanks a lot guys!!

will i have to get someone to do the lowering, exhaust and induction kit and how much do u think they will all cost each and the best place to get them
