   ok so heres the situation, this is how the car looks from the front atm
   
   
   
   the fogs are fake, the lenses were glued in by the previous owner who cut the holes. so for this reason makinging them work is a nightmare as there is no brackets etc. also the bumper is the flat arch version so wide mouthing is also a no go.
   
   wat do u think about meshing them or other ideas??
   
   also how would i go about blacking out the centre like this one bellow??
   
   
   
   cheers guys and gals let us know ur ideas, x

   Not the front end but gives the the car a better look, Get some blue mirror caps (might have to buy all new mirrors tho)

   not sure it would look so good as you have a flat arch saxo, its a different shape bumper.
   
   that only kinda works on the VT bumper.

    only issue with that is that they ment for the vt kit so it might not fit properly and i cant afford to spray it lol

    Usual mods to choose
    VT front bumper
    Smoked headlight inserts
    Capped mirrors
    Aero wipers
    Dimma grille
    Laguna splitter
    
    Would bother with painting the bumper, would look abit wierd on a pov spec one. Only really suita a vt imo.

    not bad for a 5 door i guess.. not a personal fav, but each to their own
    
    not sure if painting fogs is legal tho? if they are on the car they need to be working (possible MOT failure) could be wrong tho
    
    cant seem to find much info about it

    each to their own though, but i will say it's things like this that give saxo drivers a bad name generally but your clearly young so enjoy it !!!

    tbh u dont need to spend alot to make that look a million times better. Sell the alloys on it and get some vtr ones, which are dirt cheap! Remove the stickers and mud flaps. Maybe de-wiper the rear. Smoke the headlights and just change the front bumper to a vt one and pull it in at the sides so u dont need the arches. Easy colour to get hold of aswell. Reckon u could do all the above for £50, then maybe sell the rear lights and get some smoked jewlers another £40 tops so could have a smart looking 1st car for under £100
