   right guys had a progress thread for my saxo for a while but no updated it in a long long time due to other comitments, and me being lazy
   
   http://www.saxperience.com/forum/sho...t=45844&page=5
   
   but nows the time to change so just whant your opinions on what to do over the next month as it IS getting done and finnished off..
   there are some plans engine wise in over the next 9 months but not going to discuss them just yet.
   
   the car as it stood at donny 07.
   
   
   
   
   
   
   i have a smooth bonnet now and will be haveing a big mouth front bumper and fogs smoothed over.
   
   but what about the rest
   
   1. finish it off how it is colour wise.
   
   2.full respray 1 colour with back end the way it is.
   
   3. full respray and put the back back to standard? ( i do love the back lights tho )
   
   any comments or help to decide what to do would be great as i cant decide.
   
   
   regards

   Hmm, personally I would either get a full respray one colour or get a different two-tone. The silver and blue isn't really my cup of tea and I dont think the black rims suit it either lol
   How about... gun metal grey with white VTR rims? Would look mint
   and as for the back end I think get some smoked jewels They'd suit gun metal grey a treat

   its not a bad start if you were going for a showcar look
   personally id either go back to standard on thre boot or get it properly smoothed (looks a bit rough in the pics)
   
   the 2 tones nt my cup of tea i prefer cars all one colour

   The front looks good. I've never been a fan of two tone of 2 completely different colours though.
   
   The only problem i have with the back is it doesn't match the front or the wheels. I associate those lights to really heavily modified show cars which imo, your motor isn't... Yet.

   Need to get them exhausts at same level mate, left hand side one doens't comeout as much.
   
   Maybe some black mesh in middle of the rear splitter?
   
   The boot looks very bodge, like my front bumper at TRAX, get it smoothed properly mate else you're just going to start devalueing your car alot.
   
   Get a gromet in the dewiper (thats another bodge job lol)
   
   If your going for the smooth look, debadge the doors aswell.
   
   Front fogs might look better aswell.
   
   Long way to go to get it to show standard. To have a showcar you can't accept half jobs (such as the boot).
   
   Back bumper isnt sitting right also, sort that out.
   
   
   My advice overall would be sort out all the half jobs you've done and complete/perfect them.

   yeah most of those things i just aint got round to doing unfortunatly and like said bodged i rushed the boot to get it driveable for donny that year and it's just starting to look worse and worse well ill get it tidied up and all looking smart as it is then and then if i fancy it get it all one colour..

    think thats spot on, get that sorted and you will be on your way, also if i was you id find a nice set of wider wheels, im not to sure on the colors, dont no if i like it or not. at least its different. i think them back lights are let down by the things what need sorting on the rear end, atm i dont like them but i rekon if the back was fully sorted out they would sit alot better with the rest of the car. keep up the good work mate wouldnt mind seeing what youve done in a few months
