    i think flatarches look terrible and quite chavvy if im honest. i would say vt kit it but then it seems such a waste to spend money on a 1.1 saxo, as you will no doubt want a quicker car sooner or later. mayaswell just wait and buy a vtr or 1.4 even then you wont have to worry with the vt kit

    Edit, no its not the car i thought it was. Your car looks actually very tidy for a flatarch. Save your money for a VTR and transfer your wheels, lights ect

    imo mate keep it flat arch even tho i prefer the saxo's with the vt kits you'll just be seen as having a vtr or vts and constantly get other people in their actual vtr's try and race you being planks etc atleast as a flat arch it is what it is and still pretty nippy for a 1.1 anyways
    
    if i were you just wait till you can afford a 1.4 or vtr

    My 1.1 has the vt kit on it, came with it when i bought it and i much prefer it. It all depends on whether you have the time / want to put the effort in getting the vt kit on properly. Also if you're thinking of getting a vtr you might want to think about how soon in the future you'll get it, cus might not be worth vt kitting your 1.1 if you'll be trading it for a vtr soon

    i want your wheels, that was my plan for the alloys on mine
    
    
    keep it flat arch, the wheels sit nicely in it, and would be far inside the rear arches if you got a kit

    Looks great as it is for a flatarch but a VT kit will make it looks even better

    imo by fitting a vt kit will just make it look like a vtr and then you'll still have to modify it to make it stand out, whereas i think if you keep it a flatty with a vt front bumper and a few other touches will make it stand out as a nice looking flat arch rather than just a stand run of the mill vtr look a like, i love my housemates 1.1 with a vt front bumper, black vtr alloys, colour coded grill, dewipered etc, looks really smart for a flatty, i prefer it to some vt kitted cars by a long way
    
    but if you wanted to smooth the vt kit then id say go for it would look good, but imo just stick to the front bumper, i know you've seen these pics already mike but ill post them up just so other people can see how good a flatty can look

    Reading through the posts you have made the right choice. Keep it flatarch that way people wont expect you to be quick as your not .
    
    IMO, get rid of the VTR wheels. They piss me off on flatties.
    
    Other than that nice car mate
