Almost There...

Still needs mopping, and the wings may possibly have to be blown in from the bonnet.

Very happy so far, needs some tweaking here & there, but she's getting there !

Its low, but it handles so much better ! Doesn't roll any more, a little scary on rondabouts in the wet though !

It was originally lowered 35-40mm ish, we took it down another 45mm.

The lights and foglights are smoked, bought specifically to match the wheels and tints. Mirrors i am undecided on at the moment, they are hard to see out of !

There is no excessive wear on the tyres, it helps that the wheels are OEM wheels.

It doesnt catch anywhere over speedbumps, and although it looks it, its not anywhere near as low as my old R5 was !

Its only about 60mm on the front, and around 80mm on the rear !

The rear does look lower, but its not.

I'll get a side on pic tomorrow, its even !

I'm glad people are commenting on the mirrors, its giving me an incentive to take them back off, ive been looking for an excuse !

Nice wheels, wrong car.

Going to disagree with you on that one, what wheels could suit a Saxo more than Saxo wheels ?

Ahwell, i like it

Dont think it staying long, was offered £3.5k for it last night, really trying to find a reason not to sell it !

£3.5K for a 6 year old saxo

Exactly, i would be stupid not to sell !

If i get offered the right money (which i think i will) its going in its place will be a 106 GTI.

It was lowered more at the front than the back, it looked stupid.

I like it like that, which is why it looks the way it does (except for the mirrors, mistake !) Mesh does need to be black, but tbh i just want a standard citroen grill now to match the black bits !

You would accept £350 ? So because its doesnt look to your taste, you would sell a car for that price, when it is worth a couple of thousand more ?

They are not permanent modifications, my friend is a mechanic and if required i could get it raised back up, lucky i dont need to...
