   I wish I hadnt got a mauritius blue, its hard to keep clean. I think silver/icelandic grey would of been a much better choice.

    maybe if you find one in better condition but i would'nt bother swapping if you have a good car already u might get one that ends up needing £'s spent ontop of buying another saxo! lol

    just make sure you check any other car out first to make sure theres no major rust issues and that it has fsh so you know what has and hasnt been done, and what do you mean by yours needs work doing to it? if its cosmetic then i dont see why you feel theneed to worry, if its engine/suspension then you need to make those things know the the other person

    In some respects yet, but then the decision is up to you after weighing up the pro's + cons for keeping yours or swinging the other way.

    I agree, mauritius blue looks gergeous clean but how long is it clean for? Black is the same
    
    I think silver or posi blue look best and hide dirt better! Or even white!

    Yeah that's true! Mine wasn't messed with when I got it, and there's alot of bangs and knocks at the front, drop links need doing AGAIN and either anti roll bar bushes or track rod ends, they knock when I putt off a curb, or go over a speed bump on one side of the car, also my exhaust is rattling off my heat shield! And gear box feels like it's dying

    lol yeah, I hate how dirty my mauritius blue is just 2/3 days after washing it, every single spec of dust is clearly visible!
