   Hi, at the minute the front of my saxo is standard apart from smoked headlights, but after viewing Riska's car I really want to go down the smooth look of the bonnet and obviously getting rid of the grill. If I was to do this where would the bonnet release be re located to and also what would happen with the air feed from the front of the car?!
   Additionally, has anyone got a rough guide as to how much fitting a de cat pipe will be! I have it sitting in the garage lol
   
   Cheers
   Chris

   The bonnet release is relocated lower down, so under the bonnet before where it meets the bumper.
   
   Fit the decat pipe yourself, honestly its the easiest thing to do. It really isnt worth paying for it fitted.

   Thanks for the input mate, what tools do I need to fit the de cat myself then? Obviously I need a ramp to see what I'm doing but how many bolts, hangers etc keep this pipe in place?

   Just 2 bolts that join it to your manifold and then a clamp holds it to the centre section. You shouldnt need to buy anything. It may be worth getting some gungum selant to seal all the joints and prevent blows. You just need a spanner, I think its either 10mm or 13mm. I cant really remember tbh, but all will become clear once you get under and see it for yourself.
