Saxo VTR Progress - Fixed!!!

[Jay_VTR]

This came from another forum so if it dont make sense sorry....haha!

Right has my car nearly a year now, got it on my 18th, but i paid for it!

this is how it looked when i got it, completely standard.


then i gave it a half decent clean and t-cutted the rear badges






after that it stayed like this for a few months then i decided i didnt want rear seats...

so at first i completely stripped it


then this seemed a bit scruffy for me so i put in a half decent false floor!

my next move was to tidy it up and paint the calipers red...haven't got any snaps of that though!

Next up was a meshed grill! i wasn't to sure about it when i started but finished product looked good...


the mesh is now black as i didnt like the shineyness of it!

then off i went to uni in september so progress stopped....

came back end of this month and just had to tidy it up again...

so rocker cover went red



then i decided the heat shield needed to black but again...no snaps of that bit...

then i did what i class as my first major mod to the car....got the rattle cans out and did the whole widemouth sprayed up look!




i just need to colour code the rest of the splitter and that will be finished!

and my last little thing i did was my white R wheels!
before

during...

after

finished




my next plans are to get 106 ABC pillar trims.


comments and critisism welcome!!

Plans:
Black interior trim
Lower 40mm on SPAX SSX springs. ORDERED
Possibly buckets and harnesses
Colour code the rest of the front splitter
Upper strut brace (ready got lower)
Exhaust - Full system (not sure what make yet, suggestions welcome)


And I think that will be me done!

Comments welcome...as well as other suggestions that i could do!

thats what everyone says haha

looks good that. good to see someone with a saxo doin different things like the front bumper looks good. makes a change from lexus lights and universal fit backbox

Yep - I agree. I'll openly admit I'm not a fan of French cars, especially saxhoes, (everyone's had a ride of one... ), but I really do like that. Subtle changes for not much money, and looks really effective and definitely a change from the norm. Top job!

Recognise the school in the background too, guess you're a CRHS lad? Some good composition on the photos too!

[Jay_VTR]

Cheers people! Glad people like it! I aint going to lie I wasn't a fan of saxos either but i had to scrap my last car n this was cheap n a big upgrade for me n i now love it!!

And yeah....CRHS lad till uni took over! Photos look good considering they were quick snaps of a digital cam!! will keep this updated as i change things now!!

exhaust- saxsport full system, raceland 4-2-1 manifold.

Wheels looks good, Lower brace makes a ncie improvement but with -40mm it will catch on everything!

[Jay_VTR]

been chatting to the sax-p boys....n girls.... n it SHOULD be alright....will give it a shot....and if it catches to much will get rid n just get an upper brace...not as much improvement in the handling with upper but better than nowt!!

I have black pillar trims, black roof liner, black oh sh*t handles and black sun visors all from a 106 xsi which i'll be putting in my vtr this week which should look pretty smart as the light grey stuff is bloody horrible. Those wheels look pretty good in white, nice looking car.
