   Are there any standard saxo sideskirts for a 1.1 desire? I don't want to have to buy a skirt that will effect insurance, I just don't like the look of the car without one.

   Basically everything you do to a car will effect your insurance, some people declare there mods some dont. 95% of people get away without declaring but if they crash things can sometimes go kaput.
   But some companys say you dont have to declare mods that are not performance enhancing

   So even spraying the grill etc will have to be declared?

   FUTURE PLANS
   
   Lowering.
   Alloys.
   Induction Kit.
   Tinting read windows.
   Replacing rear lights.
   Angel Eyes.
   
   All of these would effect your insurance, but look in your insurance doc's and see what it says.
   
   Btw who you with ?

   I know they will, but that's why they are future plans, I can save for them.

    I would just go ahead and put the vt kit on if i was you, although a vt back and front bumper on a flat arch lowerd looks very nice

    Any pics of a VT kit on a 1.1? And do you have any idea on how much this could effect insurance. I mean I'm quite lucky now as I only pay £800 a year in monthly installments.

    Cheap? I looked on ebay and the kits were about £100-£300 and none in the right colour so I would need to take it to a body shop...

    When you hit 100 posts and a member for a month, in the for sale section people usually do it for about 70quid in your colour

    part with a tenner then, and buy premium - you will be able to go on the for sale section straight away - not too expensive for the amount you can save, if you want it soon
