   Looks like a lot of work, and I'm not sure it looks very good :/
   
   but if you like it and are prepared then go for it.

    Use 2 rear vt panels to make the back doors and side skirts and cut the arch in half so the door can open. I really dont think it would be THAT difficult.

    You need to do work on the rear arch panels so they fit with the rear doors opening.

    i cant seeing it being overly difficult either bumpers, front arches and sideskirts are straight fitment
    
    i would clip the door panels on and open the door and cut the excess off, then bond that piece on to the rear arch, then fit that piece to the rear door and again open the door cut the excess and bond that on to the rear arch and obviously cut the rear arches like you would on any flat arch saxo
    
    and then remove the 4 door panels and the little bit of rear arch and tidy the cuts up and repaint

    I suppose it's all relative to how good you are though and what you are prepared to do.

    He also expressed disapproval at the fact it looked difficult to do, and asked how it might be done on a mk2.

    the VT kit is the same on all Saxos.
    
    Have a crack at it. Looks great (minus the alloys) imo.
