Vtr kit - Saxperience

byson-ebpb · 19th April 2007, 10:35

i got a quote from a breakers in england for full kit, they said 500£!!!

so im thinking of putting a dimma kit on for far cheaper. the only thing is i think it will make the car far slower is this true??? it is only a 1.1 like

VTS_16v_Boy · 19th April 2007, 10:41

The dimma kit will still need the VT arches I think as the Dimma bumpers bond over the top of the VT bumpers.

Any thing large will add weight to a car and a bodykit more than anything as with larger bumpers with bits sticking out every which way you could be adding alot of drag to the car but thats abit extreme.

You might be better off sourching a kit designed for the flat arch saxo rather than trying to find a kit for a VT kitted car AND the VT kit on top.

Try www.essexracing.com and www.tuning.co.uk for bodyparts, both should be able to send to Ireland but worth checking as this will add quite abit to the overall price of the items

im new to everything and dont have a clue

all i no is i have a sx 1.1 mk1, and if i cant get a bodykit or watever i was going to selll it for a shitty corsa

You can pick vt kits up on ebay for £200 or less mate

VTS_16v_Boy · 19th April 2007, 10:54

Basically most bodykits are designed in mind to be used with saxos already with the VT arches and bumpers.

These kits can be made to fit the flat arched saxo but wouldnt look quite right.

There are a few kits out there designed juts for flat arched saxos, which may work out cheaper than soruchin and paintin/fitting a VT kit then buyin different bumper etc

But like mention VT kits can be found alot cheaper on eBay. Delivery costs may be a problem to Ireland though

goat_janine · 19th April 2007, 11:11

Ive got a vtr bodykit on my 1.1 mate. I cant say ive noticed any changes in speed

byson-ebpb · 19th April 2007, 11:14

well thats wat i want to do, but no way im going to pay 500£ for 1. Also i heard its a big job putting one on but my mates ha vtr so who should be able to do it. any more suggestions or oppinions?

VTS_16v_Boy · 19th April 2007, 11:18

Reckon that with a large aftermarket kit with spoiler the works you might tho more so on a smaller engine car than a bigger engined car

byson-ebpb · 19th April 2007, 11:20

how much will you pay for the full vtr kit with everything you need?? does any1 no wer to get them because ebay always seem to have bits missing!

VTS_16v_Boy · 19th April 2007, 11:23

Go on to www.tuning.co.uk as they sell each VT kit component on its own. Might work out more expensive but it would give an idea of what costs what.

You might also beable to fine somewhere that produces the VT kit in fibre glass which will probally make it cheaper than plastic items like OE factory fitted.

byson-ebpb · 19th April 2007, 11:26

can you find one mate because im thick

byson-ebpb · 19th April 2007, 12:47

its not looking good! somebody blowup their engine and sell me their vtr kit

goat_janine · 19th April 2007, 12:53

Mate type in 'saxo breaking' into ebay and use ask seller a question to find out if anyones selling there bodykit. I picked up my first vt kit at a bargainous price via doing it that way

VTS_16v_Boy · 19th April 2007, 13:30

Try these there aloads of VT kit bits there

Why dont you just be a bit patient and go to all your local scrappy's frequently, waiting for one to come in?

Or just save up and buy it for a bit more.

Check out the for sale section on here frequently, there ones on there every now and then.

Hope i helped.
