would of thort unless you work in a bodyshop and can fit and spray the bonnet and that it would be cheaper to sell your car and use the money you was guna use on the parts and get a mk2.

im sure the demo car for gsmotorsport have did this but dont quote me on this

dont bother, its not all as simple as that

u wud b better selling ur mk1 and gettin a mk2 for the money itl cost

7th August 2005, 21:05

yeah i have to agree with wideboy it would cost a bomb

8th August 2005, 03:36

Much cheaper to just get a Mrk2, people wont notice it as much

if ya got a Mrk2 an modded that then you would get more credit for the work on it

no point imo, jus buy a mk2.

has been done before tho yeah.

priced up the parts today if all brand new parts about £200quid, salavge maybe 130mark!(i work 4a motorfactors so cheap prices

still thinking about this one, might keep it mk1 shape and get a decent grill & moded bonnet.

ideas ideas ideas - wot shall i do.

ur car, ur money mate

do as u wish, keep us informed tho

as joe said its your car mate and your money.

also depends what you want from the car, do you want it to stand out or do you want it to be subtle?

imo saxo's look nicest with subtle styling, nothing too ott. if you want something to change the front end go for headlights off another car maybe?

9th August 2005, 03:09

joe transforming the car from mk1 to mk2 is a good project but why not go for somethhing different like peugeot 206 front lights or something no point spending all that money just to look like every other saxo is their

9th August 2005, 03:35

lol, to be 'different' in saxo thesedays means keeping the standard lights and not fitting huge tacky 4ton bodykits, coz every cunt's done that. if you wanna be different, go euro- very few people have done euro saxos and saxo's look best with subtle and smooth styling imo. if you think your kit would look better with a mk2 front, you go for it. personally i'd buy a mk2 , but like everyone's said, it's your car and your money.
