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

26th March 2010, 21:44

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........

26th March 2010, 21:48

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.

26th March 2010, 21:50

ever thought of putting on a rear diffuser colour coded?

26th March 2010, 22:05

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

26th March 2010, 22:12

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

26th March 2010, 22:16

wowwww mine used to have that style rear lights when i bought it..........smoked jewels look far better imo

26th March 2010, 22:21

haha a havent seen many saxos with them lights thats why i have them

26th March 2010, 22:24

am looking for black angel eyes, and a vt spoiler if anyone is selling them??

gaz

26th March 2010, 23:11

interior is like you have spent about £4000 in argos. I dont like the interior or wipers the rest is nice

26th March 2010, 23:16

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.

26th March 2010, 23:32

cars nice, the back lights or the interrior isnt my cup of tea tho, but its all to do with what you like tho!!

26th March 2010, 23:46

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

27th March 2010, 03:00

Car looks smart, i personally dont like the interior but as said its ure car and uve gotta like it dont matter wat other folk think.

27th March 2010, 03:23

gaz

27th March 2010, 15:09

Good job m8

- What colour blue have you used? like the door cards as well how did u find doing them yourself?

27th March 2010, 15:52

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

gaz

27th March 2010, 16:24

gaz

5th April 2010, 07:47

any1 with any ideas how to fix it then?

cheers gaz

5th April 2010, 12:12

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

5th April 2010, 13:11

Where did u get those seat covers from mate??

A mate tells me that from his experince boot polish works better then back to black on the exterior plastics. may not be so but i thought i would put it out there haha =]

5th April 2010, 20:37

Get some standard wiper arms and colour code them.

Steve.

5th April 2010, 21:17

just the same fabric i use for my door cards shaunsvtr

what you think ?

12th April 2010, 19:20

Sounds nice, so it's just straight through centre section and Magnex back box? Quite a deep note.

12th April 2010, 22:30

yes

magnex full system from cat back

but i am looking for somthing thats deeper but louder if you get me a know that kind of exhaust isent to every 1s taste but i would like it like that

looks and sounds well mate, doesnt sound too loud and nice note

16th April 2010, 23:55

Sounds good, the exhaust you are looking for is a 'savage' back box, i think they have saxo fitment and usually come in >4" tip's.

17th April 2010, 03:17

looks good!

17th April 2010, 07:57

cheers all well it does sound good well i think hehe but i am looking for somthing abit louder and have like a rip noise and would rather have a round back box rather than a ovel with a round tip i like the back box round aswell as the tip if you get me so looking to get 1 that will be a straight swap over from old 1 to new 1

asking alot aint i haha
