   Well first off, welcome to the forum mate.
   
   There is someone on SSC who has done this. It can be a long winded job, as you have to replace everything on the front end (slam pannels the lot) and then you have to get everything sprayed up. So it can be expensive.
   
   What model of the pug were you looking to do the conversion from?

   you will need, slam pannel, wings, bonnet, lights, and clips and stuff.. why would you fit a 106 front? the shape to the wings wont line up with the car etc..
   
   just get a mk2 front end saxo

   I wouldn't do a front end conversion on any car really, as when you come to sell the car it will look a bit dodgy. Like you are trying to hide some sort of crash. Oh wait, you are lol.

    if your doing a face off why not do something crazy like a audi tt front end??? convering from a mk1 to a mk2 is a complex enough job, changing manufacturer just gets even more complicated..... i say if your gunna do it go crazy.

    in all honesty if you replace the slam panel, bonnet.... etc.... then yeah it should work no probs at all. the vt arches will blend in pertectly alright i believe providing thier glued in place....... personally if you fancy a change why not write the car off if its accident damage your hiding and buy a mk2 106gti? lol would prob be easier.

    if you want a sax with pug front end go for a pug and put the vt kit on it or the other way round a sax with gti arches i thought of putting the gti arches on my flat arch sax wen the 2 are modded they confuse folk as it is that would realy fuck them up lol
