   TBH - Lower it, VTR / VTS rims and a VT kit, would be a fantastic start

   I think that comment should come with a disclaimer.. when you come to sell your saxo.. none of this stuff will add to its value - it will actually narrow down potential buyers, of course you could always sell it all seperately. Another thing i'l add is ask your insurance companies about the premium increase for said mods, because 1. some companies wont insure mods 2. they could raise the premium by silly dollar.
   
   Stick to to the fluffy dice.

    Perhaps if it's done properly. Just seems that people do just the rear and/ or the front bumper then get stuck because they can't fitted the arches and skirts properly. Nobody wants a poorly modified 1.0 vt wannabe.

    i think you'll find ur car has 3 stud wheels. if so you wont be able to fit vtr/s rims.
    
    See my progress thread for some ideas (the most common ones anyways lol)
