Each to your own and all that but I can't help thinking for the amount of money spent on that you could buy a cracking car. I'd rather have a shed with a proper engine than a supermodel with a weedy engine.

Well if it makes you happy that's all you need to worry about. Good luck with it.

Not really my cuppa but good on you for taking the risk and posting it up. Looks like a lot of effort has gone in. Personally I'd have sorted out going like stink first and buggered around with door handles, well........ never but there you go.

Welcome to PH. smile

You're a brave man posting that on here smile Personally I reckon it looks best in the third pic, black on black.

How much of an insurance hit has that little lot given you?

It looked like a van when the drug dealer tints were added and the car was black. I'll never understand why people want to arse around with a shopping car but if it makes you happy then fair enough. As long as you drive sensibly and don’t disrupt the peace like many cars of that nature do then good work and good luck with it in the future.

Sorry Fella, but i think the guy "longbedding" your door says it all with his green T shirt (Yellow writing!).





Remember to tell your insurance co too.

So long as you like it, that's the main thing, but you did ask for opinions!!

Don't normally like modded cars, but I think that's pretty nice.

I have to be honest, I'm not a fan of this at all. To each his own, though; There are also plenty of people about who don't like mine.

Should've got a TVR if you don't like door handles! Does your insurance company know about all of this?

I actually quite like this does not seem to be too cluttered with plastic tatt like some other saxo's yet it is modified but personally I think it looks rather nice.
I would say have so far not don’t to bad on spending but would leave it as it is to be honest no point to spend any more it looks quite nice and c2's interior is okay anyway if it owes you 6k is a lot but not bad I know of saxo's which have had 12k spent on and look utter wk so you have not done too bad.
In my view keep it as it is now looks nice and good car to build up a few years no claims in as only a 1.1 then when you can drive properly (same with me) look at getting something better and more powerful smile

rofl what a waste of money, I like the bit about the sound your fart can makes being "awesome". It doesnt, it'll sound like a a crappy untuned low capacity 4 pot with a stupid exhaust on it. Did you even bother reading this forum before you posted?

The front side windows must allow at least 70% of light to be transmitted through them.
so your car has illegal windows you tit, lets hope you dont kill anyone.

Looks alright, my only gripe is, why the hell didn't they unbolt the rear wiper arm, it can be done! Unless they were feeling particularly angry and in a "vengeance" mood with the air saw hehe

I think it looks good, but would require some sort of bodykit to pull that paintjob off, a nice "euro look" one colour paintjob, and smoothed exterior would suit it better IMO. smile
