   They will fit yes. You will need to cut your rear arches though as on the base models it petrudes below the vt arch.

   Wouldn't you need the holes in the wing though?
   Don't the VT*/Furio wings / panels have holes for the arch clips, where the lower / base models don't?

   yeh you could either drill the holes for the clips or bond the arches on using super duper glue

   Yeah i suppose you could drill it.. Make sure they line up though!
   Or bond them on yeah... Smoothing them into the body looks good too!

   - Door mouldings
   
   Get it for under £200 now off other saxos. Looks so much better.

    you'd be lucky to get all that for 200 quid, a front bumper alone off ebay you're talkin £60 once the postage is included. the postage on individual items is the killer as few people sell the whole kit together.

    Yeah but ebay is generally pretty good for buying it all together... you may be able to go and collect if its cheaper...
    Would make sense to get it all in one, nd even if its a fair way, it may be cheaper than postage, and save you waiting!

    If your going to go for the VT look then i'd do it properly if i was you, save up the cash to afford a full VT kit at once and search all the scrappy's you can get to. Dont rush into it and buy something that'll make it look pants, get it to look professional (Just my opinion)

    Yeah i'd agree there.
    Scrapyards stock most half of the time... O/S/F is the hardest.. they're always smashed in!
    I have a spare O/S/F arch that just needs rubbing right down and spraying though if anybody wants.. not sure what its worth though!

    Well.. better than fannying around saying things like... well in my opinion, the aftermarket options generally aren't such a good fit, and so i recommend the real thing... Short and sweet! love it

    Thats a pretty good price imo... Bumpers aren't cheap, they're quite sought after kits i suppose too!
