Hi am new to all this saxo malaky, i havnt got one yet but before i do i jus need a few questions answered.

Being only 17 i cant get insured on a vtr or vts so was hoping to get a 1.4 which i can but i was jus wondering if i would be able to make it look like a vtr/s with arches and bumpers and so on if thats a possibility what would be involved in this.

thanks for your time

furio looks exactly the same as Vt* (suprised u havnt seen one considering ur having 1?)

with the exception of the wheels.

dont put Vt* badges on it tho

jaybiss · 10th August 2006, 18:01

just the interiors are different and they have drums on the rear

oli16V · 10th August 2006, 18:02

sure possible mate.... loads of lads even drive 1.1 saxos modded to a vts/vtr...

potatopete · 10th August 2006, 18:03

A good start would be getting VTR or VTS alloys. Reasonably cheap too. Will look V.Smart!

sshaxx · 10th August 2006, 18:14

ive got a furio with VTS wheels and you cant really tell the difference till you look inside or drive it.

oh and ive taken the furio badges off and just left the saxo ones on.

oli16V · 10th August 2006, 18:17

Davekelz · 10th August 2006, 18:21

I had a VTR when I was 17 mate, had no problems with insurance. Try Quinn-Direct for a decent quote.

its a 1.4 saxo with about 75 bhp but its better than a 1.1 and not as good as a VTR. just a kind of 'will do till i can get insured on a VT*' kind of car.

next person to say 'ferrari' is gay

oli16V · 10th August 2006, 18:31

damn, i could have got me a ferrari to start, no problem in austria, but expensive tho :-)

thanks for info but isnt the 1.4vtr 75bhp also???

Saxoladlesta · 10th August 2006, 18:36

There isn't a 1.4 VTR over here

sshaxx · 10th August 2006, 18:36

theres no such thing as a 1.4 VTR as far as i know, VTR's are 1.6 8v's, VTS's are also 1.6 but with 16v

the 1.4i furio and the westcoast both come as standard with the same bodykit that the VTR's and S's come with, minus the mirror caps (the colour coded things on your wing mirrors.)
