   I Have just bought myself a 1999 Mk1 citreon saxo 1.4 west coast with the vtr kit on already,
   i am just after some cheap mods to do to it to start off with.
   I have already put a meshed grill on it and in the middle of painting the wheels white and put a backbox on it that i got given.
   Any ideas wold be most appreciated.

   Upload them to Photobucket and copy and paste the IMG code, t-cut or spray the rear badges black too and spray the headlight inserts

    as said, loads of cheap mods you can do..
    
    t-cut rear badges, spray air vents/centre console, smoke your headlights, smoke tail lights/side repeaters, chop your aerial in half to make it bee-sting?

    done today smoked rear lights and side repeaters t-cutted rear badges, nearly finished spraying my wheels as i am having to spray them one at once as am using the car everyday. next on list i think is to do the headlights and foglights and maybe tint the rear windows.

    And never get any signal again? Buy a shorter one, like £5, but as said he has already got one.
