   Hey guys...
   
   just wondering... i hate the black plactic strips on my saxo 1.1 as seen bellow
   
   
   
   i was looking at converting the arches to vtr ones... anyone done a 1.1 to VTR arch conversion?
   
   the other option is to buy a kit like this,
   
   http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...=STRK:MEWAX:IT
   
   will that fit my mk1 saxo 1.1?
   
   and has anyone done an arch conversion?

   spray the bump strips gloss black to match the wheels and tidy the colour up a bit, and perhaps if you want to spend a bit more, vtr front bumper and adapt that inline with the 1.1 arches (seen it done somewhere) and a rear spoiler ? tbh i think that would make it look better.. upto you though

    Major Bumpage, Try Ebay for the wheels mate or scrapyards if your lucky enough to find some. Keep it a flatty unless your going to put the whole kit on
