   i'm looking for one of the trims aswell. every single saxo in the scrap yards around my way are either phase 1, have been in a n/s smash, full front end smash or they have already been taken. i just took the other side off. more fresh air into the bay the way i see it

    lets all pretend leaving trims off your car helps performance.
    but yeah its the same by me ive been to every scrapyard i know of and theyr all either the wrong colour or wrong shape and i didnt really want to seperate with 20 quid for 2 off ebay when i only need the one! scrappy would probably say "aww yeah no worries mate lil bit of plastic ummm 3 quid?" lovely job!

    I know they are kinda steep, think people just knock the price up because they know they are difficult to get hold of!
