   Sounds good but i wouldn't fully smooth your boot, i would do something like chandler did. Keeping the numberplate area but smoothing round or into a smaller shape.
   
   If you get me

   Sounds good mate. But its gotta be said theres a lot of 'euro' cars out there that get half way and then the owners realise that its not so easy on the wallet. If your gonna do it, do it properly and make sure you will be happy spending many thousands of pounds getting a saxo euro.
   
   
   If you just feel like it will look cool and you might get bored half way, dont bother starting as youll just end up out of pocket and youll have to sell the car for peanuts

   smooth boots are ghey shortened number plate recess looks much nicer, have a search for chandler's brown euro saxo, that's proper Euro-look, none of this 'i've fitted french plates and spax springs so my car is Euro' rubbish

    i wouldnt touch fibreglass for starters.
    
    any smoothing to plastic parts need to be platic welded to stop them from cracking.
    
    smooth boots are a sign of homosexuality. de-badging looks best imo and just leave the standard plate recess.
    
    i hate it when people smooth the whole vt kit, it looks pap. not euro!
    
    smooth out the fogs on the front and the towing eye and exhaust on the rear. de-lock and de-badge and your onto a winner.
    
    chandlers is the best example of a euro saxo

    either smooth it out completely, smooth a dimma grill into the bonnet or have a look at the grill that furio_al did (just smoth out the chevrons).
    
    any of those would look good but you need to pick the right style to match your front bumper.
    
    if your going for a wide mouth, then either smooth in or smooth out. if you leaving the slats in then do the grill like furio_al's
