   that would stand out! but i been looking at colours in halfrauds an my local auto stockpart store and didnt see purple. its between green, red, blue or yellow.
   
   will also be painting the grille badge, mirrors and maybe the roof to match the wheels so would like to know what colour would be too much.

   I think green looks mint on black saxos imo,,but yellow may look okay on a silver sax mate,, get a photoshop done of it in yellow and see what you think.

    You just got to go for them as soon as you seen them,,i bought my glossy black 'R's and i contacted the bloke and picked them up on the same day lol..so i travelled from worcetser to nuneaton to get them,,fully refurbed,,they are mint and still are now,,all for £180,,thought that was a bargain as they were refurbed in such a good condition.

    yer but its all worth it when its how you want it.

    Sorry for hijacking the thread lol..
    Ive got a blakc subtle spoiler for it to go on, lower it by 30-40mm if i can,leather interior either recliners or GTI interior when i get money,maybe a black roof, a light tint on windows, mirror caps/or change or mirrors, paint calipers,single wiper on front,might de-wiper rear,,not major but itll make a chnage to the car and make it look alot better.

    Lol no worries. plans sound good mate, saxos dont need much to make them look alot smarter than standard. Decent set of wheels and a nice drop are all they need imo. Im off i think mate, up early for work, jus waitin on replies for a cheaper alternative to s wheels lol cant afford 150 atm.
