    yo man. nice clean saxo you have there. with a silver (NOT chrome) and black theme going on already it would be a nice base to maintain that theme. so, get some smoked rear lights. I'm guessing you have a Mk1 saxo ie. square headlights. so you could get some smoked angel eyes or just smoke the inside bit of the headlight. with the 5-doors, you might want to look into colour coding the handles (thats what i did first), its s simple but effective mod

    any q's just ask.

    Some smoked rear lights and some plain number plates would be a great place to start.

    basically i was quite lucky... i did this when i first got the car and had no clue about spraying or owt like that. so i went to motorworld and asked them to match up a can of paint for me. then i sanded the handles down, then applied primer, wet sanded until super smooth, applied paint, applied paint again. wet sanded, applied paint. applied laquer.

    phewwwww done


    apologies about the naff shot. but it gives you idea...

    Smoked rear lights!!

    And you need to level your number plate up a bit.

    Definitely a plain number plate! But lookin' good from the back, and stick with current lights you have on now, looks nice

    Hey i was thinking about getting som french pressed number plates as shown here http://http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBay...5576&rd=1&rd=1

    whats your take on them? i noticed at the bottom it says for show cars which i take means are not road legal, is it likely that i would get fined for having thse on my car??

    thanks!

    definately go with the bottom lights they look amazing dude! think i need to get me some of them! and as for the plates so long as your car is registered before 2004 you should be legal. I want to get some of them plates next payday.
