   just bought a green mk1 1.1 started doing some mods to it already, just done some basic things sprayed the badges and colour coded the interior thinking of smoothing the boot and then getting it lowered. dusnt look how i want it at the moment im only its second owner another lady had it before me so its in mint condition but want it to look more beastie. when i get it lowered i think its goin to look loads better just wondering whether i shud put front and back bumper on it.I dont no alot bout cars can anyone give me sum more ideas bout wat to do next and what type of bumpers or kits i can put on it or rims maybe?

   Are you keeping it flat arched? Lowering it looks 100x better. I wouldn't change the bumpers personally.
   
   Lower it, smoke the front lights/fogs, colour code bumpers & rubbing strips, subtle back box(not japo looking), some VTR wheels.
   
   Have a look through the photo section or search on 'flat arch' that'll give you a few ideas.
   
   Hope this helps!!!

   well if its not 3 stud you could always get a hub conversion into 4 stud

   you've got a 2000 mk1? it should be 4 stud. But as just said, go out and count the bolts

    you're going to find it quite hard to find alloys however I think these would suit any green saxo:

    Depending on the colour green, a VT* kit could suit it. But Flat arch's look amazing lowered.
    
    So if you're after any sort of kit, the cliche kit is the only one I like the look of for flat arch saxo's.
    
    
    
    either that or the vt* kit if you must change from a flat arched saxo
    
    edit: any pics of the car?

    You could try scrappies, i knew someone ho had a set of 3 stud compomotives in white, wanted £100 for them, they were mint, i would have got them, but i didn't have the money. You could lways buy and silver set and refurb them??

    getting a VT* kit fitted will make the car look so much nicer....espeacially when you have lowered it on some good rims....
    
    as 3 stud alloys are hard to come by...you should also consider a 4 stud conversion as the range of alloys becomes bigger!
