   I have a white saxo and the bumper bits and door bits are black along with the wing mirrors.
   
   What is the best way to get them white? Do I need to undercoat with anything or primer?
   
   
   Thanks Kristy

   Take it to a professional bodyshop and get it done properly. Should only cost around £250. VT kit needs to come off completely and it is a ballache of a job to do yourself. All needs sanding down, primered, painted and laquered!

   A few people have white colour coded Sax's on here, but I think it looks better, and your better off getting a professional to do it

    Get them sprayed white!!
    
    Looks so much better IMO, can still break it up by having black wheels and lights etc etc..
    
    Good guess on price above btw. I was charged £250
