my saxo vtr progress thread, what to do next???

  1. #1
    what do you think that would look good to do to my saxo next?

    i know i will have things that people dont like and i will have this that people do like but as i always say to people that dont like somthing on my car i say its my car i drive it so its upto me what i do with my car
    the things i have done to it so far pics........




  2. #2
    Not my sort of thing, but tastefuly done Get yourself something like 'back to black' to return your exterior plastics to black, and I'd return the wipers to standard. Other than that, it's good as it is in my opinion

    Edit: Get the VT rear spolier back on it.
  3. #3
    ever thought of putting on a rear diffuser colour coded?
  4. #4
    yes i have thought about putting the rear and front diffuser on it but cant seem to find 1 that i like

    and yes i want the vt spoiler it wasent on the car when i got it so looking for 1 of them to

    thanks for your ideas and i will do the back to black with the dash
  5. #5
    sorry i mean the exterior plastics haha the car was standered when i got it so i think its coming on pritty well but yws need to find a vt spoiler soon set the back of them off i think

    gaz
  6. #6

    interior is like you have spent about £4000 in argos. I dont like the interior or wipers the rest is nice
  10. #10
    You can get a spoiler that looks pretty much the same as the VT from here for £9.95 without a brakelight, or £14.95 with a brakelight.

    cars nice, the back lights or the interrior isnt my cup of tea tho, but its all to do with what you like tho!!
  12. #12
    thanks nath89 i think i will go with that
    i was looking for the vt spoiler or somthing that dont look standered but not 2 big and make it look like a shoping trolly if you know what i mean

    moxy89 thanks for the advice but its what i like
    and the wipers i just got them because you can tell they aint standered i just dont see the point in spending money doing things to you car that dont change the look well thats just me
    thanks anyway all
  13. #13

    Good job m8 - What colour blue have you used? like the door cards as well how did u find doing them yourself?
  19. #19
    well the centre console and the air vents were done in rover blue and the door cards i just got the best match i could to the seats. it all just looks just about the same colour couldent get much closer

    and for doing the door cards well..... when i got them off i was like mmm.... how am i going to get the fabric out as its like little plastic things well i had to use a blade to take off the heads of them so i still had the bottom of it for the idea i had to put them back on what i use to put them back on was small dumpy screws with washers alot of people say melt cable ties back on to it but i thought the screws was a better and easyer way and as you can see the result was pritty good for retriming i got the girlfriend to give me a hand and the two of us just sat one nite and recovered them and then i put it all back together and next day went out and fitted them back on...... job done

    Flat blade wipers - cheep and subtle, footwell neons, go 2 scrappy and get a switch from another saxo dash and use that 2 switch it. Stealth shelf with blue neons that come on with the boot opening , tint the windows, ditch the seat covers and get buckets or GTi interior good luck man
  53. #53
    Where did u get those seat covers from mate??
