Hello mate and welcome to the site. Orange can be pulled off very well if the highlight colour is right. My mates car which is a tuned Astra GTE redtop has been done in orange but the wheels, bump strips etc have all been done in black and looks stunning. Get your post count past 10 post and get some piccies up ;)

Nice one david , I think its forum etiquette to keep us informed of how you get on with a list also of what mods your intending on doing :p
plenty of info on the site just do a search and you should find what your after and if not ask away like i did lol soon got my amp from not worky to sort of lol
 
Welcome to the forum Rob, Saxo's looking good thus far!

Thanks mate , the wife has got more instore from what i can gather , but with age and im disabled i struggle quite badly now but will keep on plodding and hopefully when im dead :amazed: it will be where the wife wants her to be :toung: or not :embarrest:
 
HI there ROB 1468.
What! Lowered your car by 40mm!.
I'm 58 now and my fillings wont stay in if i get bumped around on suspension like that. I like a bit of comfort these day's but still like car to look good.
A sort of Turbocharged ZIMMER FRAME in blue with black wheels!.

Stay Young
Coolie :cool:

Hello and a warm welcome to TorqueCars, I'm just at the right side of 40!:D Nice to have you with us and it sounds like you have already caught the modding bug.

I hope you have deep pockets and an understanding wife:D

cheers waynne , its the wife that has caught the modding bug , she wanted a hot hatch we changed from a rover 25 turbo deisel to the saxo at her command pmsl , but all said and done i love the car too takes me back a few years to when i did mod my cars , but we still have a few things we want to change , one being the discs i think we need some grooved and drilled ones and a change of pads maybe get the calipers painted too ,many ideas hopefully get there some time lol :toung:

Hi welcome to the site loving the colour of the saxo have you got any more plans for it.

Awww well you lot im 25 but feel 50 if that helps lmfao!!

take care
 
Pmsl , at least you are all friendly here , another site i joined (no names) they were ok untill the young whipper snapers started and then they were arguing and threatning each other all over some one revving their engine and another leaving was quite heated and i thought do i need to be a member of a site that endorses this kind of behaviour as some of the mods where joining in , NO i thought and havent been back on it since , i know im not young or OLD to that matter but a forum is a place to have a laugh gain knowledge on the given subject even with differing views it still shouldnt get out of hand as that did , anyways im glad i found this site and will be around for some considerable time health permitting ;)
