   Hey guys need some help? im after some cheap moddifcations i can do, just to tidy my saxo up.
   
   on my list is to
   
   Dewiper
   Remove door pins
   good clean inside,
   would like to clean outside and wax but been looking at some of the products and mount up to a pretty penny.
   
   basically i work in a school, and i have the next 2 weeks off. im changing my drop links and track ends, you guys probly get this all the time, cheap this cheap that, but i just want to keep my self busy doing a few cheap mods on my sax.
   
   as funds have been tight since i brought and insured my car at the end of march. sorry to go on, any idea's would be grand.
   
   Thanx peeps

    Cant really do the rear, well you can but just with tinting spray and it looks terrible!
    
    if you have a mk 2 you can tint the top white bit that looks good,
    
    Another cheap mod if you have a mk 2 is de slat the grille but really you need a dremel and its quite complicated!

    you know the door pins, when you unlock the car they pop up don't they? well you remove them, stops people from bending the door down to pull up the door pin. plus i think it looks better makes the door inside look abit smother.
