   Nice mate!
   Its hard to get the back smoothed over tho as theres holes under the badges! and you gota get the whole boot re-sprayed if i was u id T cut the back badges using preds guide which is very helpful
   Not to keen on the lights and back splitter either sorry mate!

   I would also de-wiper the boot and dont get the splitter as that one looks crap imo,but apart from that it looks good.

   The only splitter i would ever get is one like wilsey has got but i dont think it would fit straight on to a 1.1 bumper tho.What exhaust are you thinking about getting?

   I would stick with a 3.5" tailpipe as saxos are a small car and i think 4" is just a little bit to big.

    yeah fair comments bout the splitter
    
    gonna smoke the lights even more so they are more like the ultra smoked jewels.
    
    did think about a vt kit but its too much hassle getting all the bits, can never find the driver side front arch.
    
    ok ill re think my ideas here then repost.
    
    about lowering, iv been thinking bout droppin it 40mm, would i need new shocks or would the standard ones be fine?

    loads better mate
    
    id just do the shocks mate, if you can afford it then do it, as its just a fuck on again when you do have to replace them, well the fronts, the rears are like a 20 minute job
