   If he put a VT* bumper on it he'd have to get the arches.
   
   Tinted headlights, tinted foglights, Black chevrons.
   
   Not a lot else you can do but it would smarten it up a ton.

   No he wouldn't.
   
   Anyway personally i'd spray the mesh dark grey or black. Maybe tint the lights and fogs.

   Laguna splitter would be ok, tinted light also a good option but a vt bumper on a flat arch looks good tbh

    Yes, daft.
    
    As it isn't sitting correctly however much you like to think it is. It won't sit anywhere near flush without work. And without the rest of the kit it looks like every other saxo that some chav has bought a new bumper for

    By work yes as i said two small drill holes... then it sits correctly
    
    And id hardly say some 'chav' puts a Vtr/s bumper on a flat arch its usually a big hoover stuck to the front

    And the one in the pic does not sit correctly. Close, but no ciger.
    
    But without the rest of the kit it looks exactly like that. Sticks out like a sore thumb.

    Where it meets the arch. I'm sorry, No matter what you say, that is NOT flush. It's close, better than if you did nothing but it's not flush.
    
    And LOL @ your insult

    Sooo confused here.... sticking vt arches on there wouldn't make it flush at all? It's the same fit as a standard bumper?

    No if you put the VT arches on, it would sit flush with the bumper, But then not the door, So you'd need the door parts, then the side skirts and the rear arches to make it all sit flush.
    
    Then the rear bumper, because that wouldn't be flush.
    
    The VT* bumper sticks out at each side where it's supposed to meet the VT* arches, I can take a pic of mine with one arch off if you insist

    What Sam has been saying is if you re-drill the holes on the mounts or something then it sits flusher. Hence why the one's in this thread don't sit to badly.
    
    Anyway who cares now, saxo's are gash.

    But sits lower than the arches, So looks like someone has just gone out and bought a big bumper...
    
    Looks Like it's missing something.
    
    Do the lot or don't bother IMO.

    if i got a vt bump would i have to drill anything on it or no and would i need the rest on the vt body kit?

    #46 2nd May 2009, 19:07

    you dont drill anything on...
    
    The VT bumper sits out more than the standard flat arch bumper... So if you put the vt bumper on a flatty it will stick out by about half an inch maybe a tad more...
    
    The vt bumper has two big black mounting points on either side, you drill a hole ion this and then bolt it to the mounts on your car...
