is it a vtr, vts or furio model?

you can fit 15", 16", and if really want 17" under your saxo.

15" mostly use 195/45/15 tyres
16" mostly use 195/40/16 tyres
17" mostly use 205/40/17 tyres

you can fit an universal exhaust less expensive or a devil exhaust or something like that

you can also lower your car 50-60mm at the front and lower the rear torsion bar

As Swijnsm says, if you can let us know what model you have, and possibly an idea of the kind of budget you are working to?

Also, what area are you in? Perhaps there will be one of us in your area who can take you under wing, as it were, and advise you on where's the best/cheapest/nearest places to you.

Yeah, pete is right because there are a lot off shops and people with some experience could help you find the best shopsin the area.

Thanks guys

I live in Aberdeen, north east scotland. I know of some shops like checkpoint n auto parts but i don't really wanna go in to them n make myself look stuip coz i dunno wot to ask about, if you know wot i mean, hehe

Now....Don't laff its a 1.1i Desire, there's nothing special about it just now its just as standard. My budget would be around £300 - 350 but i dunno if i'd get very much for that. Hope to hear from you guys soon.

I think 15 inch wheels are best

but you should best go to a store and just ask wat is best. or maybe you can luc for second hand stuff.

If you're on a budget 15"s are best,
Look for cheap alloys in the 'for sale' section of www.saxosportsclub.co.uk,
Or go into its 'wanted' section and say "looking for some 15" alloys to fit my saxo, anyone selling?"
As for exhausts, you can get a back box which is basically the can and the exit pipes, which gives a better sound to your car and costs about £100 new.
But if you want an exhasut sytem that's the whole piping from the back of the car to the engine, this will cost around £300 new but makes the car sound the dogs.
Hope this helps, need any more help quick, let me know!

My bro is sellin his OZ Titans 15" which were on his old Saxo 1.1i Desire

He loved that car, until he got the new C2 VTR
Check out the For Sale section on this site, link to the for sale page right here

He sold the suspension he had for the front though, and the minor scuffs on the wheels can b touched-up by those little chip-sticks i think. If u have a Mk2 Saxo then i think my bro still has the eyebrows, and aslong as u bid over £2.30 for the whole lot, then u can keep the stuff!

The spoiler is piss easy to put on, and has been adjusted so that it doesn't rub against the top of the roof when u open the boot all the way up and painted where adjusted

but now my car's dead.

that's all for now.
