my icelandic grey saxo!

[Quinny1995]

this was my first car and it was a 02 plate saxo 1.1 desire/forte it had roughly 70,000 miles on it and 12 months mot on it and they wanted £1400 but i got it for £1100. havnt done much to it reall but deffinatly looking to start doing more to it. heres a few pics from when i got it.


few updates and i will upload more pics later on, ive tinted the back two side windows, got new wheel trims as waiting to get a decent set of alloys, colour coded the dash, new head unit, 6x9s in the parcel shelf and a sub and amp. any body think of any other mods?

with the rear windows tinted and the bumpers blackend abit better.

with smoked mark 1 rear lights, did have lexus style ones but got rid of them.


heres the sub and amp i have got atm and some vibe 6x9s in the parcel shelf aswell.

heres the colour coded dashboard i found at a scrappy witch hopefully i will get around to redoing soon.

whats everyone think and any improvments?

[wizardmanjm]

what are your plans for it?

[jeffchiz]

thats a forte definitely not a desire dude

nice base to start from

[Quinny1995]

Tint the rear lights a bit more I think, tint the head lights, get the rear window tinted, some alloys, change the gear knob tonight, maybe take out the mats and put proper sheet metal down on top of the carpet, gti leathers with heated elements, push start button and fit a central locking system with fob.

[Quinny1995]

Yeah I thought so aswell because on the rear pilar it says forte but on the insurance when I put in the reg it comes up as a desire?? So wasn't too sure what it was lol, what's the differsnce anyway mate?

[jeffchiz]

desires have colour coded bumpers and grille (only saxo model to have a c/c grille and bumpers), foglights, greyish coloured seats, remote central locking, electic windows and if i remember correctly electirc mirrors, its basically the top of the range flat arch and they also have there own style of hub cap

[Quinny1995]

Right thanks for that, don't know why it's coming up as both? Log book is obv right but should it be the same case with the insurance aswell then? Also do you have any recommendations for this car as to what to do?

[DavidsVTR]

Nice tidy base!

[Quinny1995]

Cheers mate,

[Quinny1995]

got a sticker to go over the third brake light witch i will put on today, and also hopefully changing the gear knob and put some pedal covers on aswell and maybe get around to sort out my dodgy live that i have got for my amp. took it to this place who installs then and they have jemmed it under then bonnet and then through the door so could get a nasty shock one of these days.

Sort your electrics out first! Especially in this weather.

[Quinny1995]

Yeah I've disconnected the amp from the battery because it's not safe atall so it should be fine just disconnected shouldn't it.

[saxplee]

Nice start welcome!

[Quinny1995]

Cheers mate

[Quinny1995]

Want some gti seats, anybody got any at a sensible price? Then want to put heating elements in them aswell and also going to fit a hawke remote central locking system aswell

[Quinny1995]

Picked up a set of angel eyes today for a bargain of £30 as my mates saxo is being scrapped will be putting these on at tge weekend

[Quinny1995]

picking up new air vents today and electric window kits so will be spraying the new air vents a color math to my car or maybe white so when i get white alloys eventually they will match, what do you guys think?

[SaxoMart]
