    Bought the saxo last week n done a few things so far

    Firstly its a Forte 1.1 2002
    with 38k on the clock,

    Got hold of it for £850 so thats great



    Fairly Standerd so far so first of all so did some free modifications

    De-Wiper
    Fairly Easy jus took the back panel off the boot removed the screws and bolts holding the wiper motor in and fitted a 22mm Blanking off Gromit.

    T-Cut Badges
    Really easy just get some T-Cut and go over the badges really nuting else to it.



    De-Badge
    Just poured some boiling hot water over the "forte" Badges on eather side and then sliped a credit card down the back and once they wer off i went over it with some t-cut to polish it up.



    De-Cat
    Took the 4 bolts off the heat sheild, and uncliped the 2 lambda sensors then toot the 2 clips off the top of the radiator, diconected the bottom hose and draind the water. Then took the 2 bolts out of the exhaust joining the downpipe to the piupe going to the backbox. Then took out the 8 bolts holding the manifold on and then finaly took out the bolt onto the gearbox.

    Jack the front of the car up and take it out in one. Then i seperated the manifold from the cat, knocked the ceramic plates out of it then rebuilt the car back up.

    Get a nice whine out of it and it will make do for the moment.

    Getting a Full VT Bodykit, Dimma Grill, M3 mirrors and more on thursday, will let you know how it goes,

    sorry if youv seen this post before just couldnt get the pictures to load

    you know how if you tint the reflectors in your lights its illegal?
    coukld you not tint them then put other reflectors on like a strip along the bottom of the boot?

    Mesh Grill
    Got my grill meshed today, just took the bolts on the back out cut the slats out of it cut the mesh to fit in the back of it then joind it all back together



    O.Z Ultraleggra alloys
    these are great bought them from the srcapys for £20 each and considering they rrp is £425 each thats a great saving lol, first off all i sanded down the alloys getting rid of any rubish on them



    Then Primerd them with 2 coats then put a coat of black paint on them




    [I]Once they were dry i gave them a couple of coats of laquer and there they are[/U]

    Rite got some more stuff done now to the saxo, havent had time to fit the ultralegras yet though

    Tint Headlights
    Basicly unbolt the headlight, 3 bolts then remove the bulbs. Now heat the lights in a oven to melt the glue, once seperated sand the plastic suround the coluor of your choice after you have primerd them, once dry re-melt the glue insert the suround and refit.



    Tinting Rear lights and Indicators
    [I]remove the one thumb screw on the rear of the rear light and then unclip the wireing and disconect, once apart all you do is paint the lights with a 70 percent lacur paint and 30 percent paint, i used black and then do the same on the indicators and refit[I]





    Dimma Grill
    Basicly unbolt the old grill and bolt on the new one



    Next i think ill get a Dimma FuelCap and Vtr Spoiler and Get The O.Zs Fitted, What use think?

    Short Shift
    Got short shift done only takes 5 mins, take the linkage out, then pull the nob off, cut 50-60 of the shaft then araldite the nob bk on



    Dials
    Take the steering wheel of, dismantel the clocks, scan them into the pc, change them, print them out then rebuild



    Colour Code
    Basicly paint what you like whatever colour you like, going to respray the steeringwheel black again, sticks out a bit much i think.

    gotta say judging by what I've just read you've got some skills when it comes to changing/repairing things... not sure about all the things you've done but it's personal taste at the end of the day.

    Good luck with it!

    What would you call it?
    Cuting the Shifter under the car and shortening it reducess the throw?

    Rite got my vts bodykit on now,cost me £100 already black
    got it fitted in no more than a day so that was good then fitted a race gearnob too and lowerd the torsion bars so it didnt sit like a 4x4 since i had to cut the arch out lolz, i just used the paint on poppers method to fit it, will give it a polish up tomorow

    will adjust the torsion bars again when i drop the front end lol

    looks better considering this is it standerd VVV


    And this is it done could do with a polish though

    Just Left the front forte bumper on it as ithink it looks ok, mite swap it though




    Also got a new aerial and a couple more things hopefully fit alloys and get my stickerkit on it soon, got a fair few more things comingaswell like 50mm drop front springs Etc.
