   ive seen some people cars are smoothed, im guessing it will be de badged and the rear cit/saxo badges taken off also. anything else?

   Euro isn't necesarily about smoothing every pannel. If you look at the Golf/Audi scene it's all about the little details.
   
   On a saxo you would have to start by slamming it on it's arse, probably on 14s or 15s and 8 inches wide.
   
   You could then start to look at removing details like the badges, locks etc even the side badges and boot lock and ariel
   
   Off the road you can remove your wipers for an ultra smooth front end
   
   If you want to go full custom you could smooth the boot and badboy the bonnet, and give it a pastel paint job
   
   There are so many variations of Euro that it's impossible to dictate what you should do, but remember it's all in the subtle details
   
   I would say that the Euro look is swaying more toward a standard exterior look but going to town on custom engine and interior touches, hence the way most saxp users are reverting back to a standard look - Leckies car being the prime example

   Getting rid of the cut out in the rear bumper for the exhaust is a good lil euro look booster.

   Alot of the time Euro is down ot personal opinion, but the main points are alot of smoothing and 2-3 piece polished wheels

    after seeing that brown euro saxo i think ive got my heart on something like that, however instead of deep dish rims i was thinking doing my vtr wheel in either matt or gloss black? i cant decide? (my cars black also). will have to get pic up on weekend once washed!

    Not very euro, unless you do them matt with a polished rim and change the colour of your car
