From the front look like every otehr modified saxo/corsa.
They all go for combat bumpers or U.V bumpers would be loud but not as loud as it could be

Overall, Looks like any other Max Power wannabe car I'm afraid. Altho I do like the side and arch blending

there is one very similar to this in eastham but in blue, looks quite nice.

And yesterday, I saw one in that red, the same apart from the spoiler and the bonnet. which was nice

But that one, I think is very nice

Wowza, that's phat! Like everything except the rear spoiler, looks a bit pointless and too big imo

poop

looks like he's bought everything from the adverts in Max Power

lot of work gone into it though

Can I just add that its a females car, we can make cars look good too

Thats just it though, it doesnt look good

It just looks like every other max power feature wannabe saxo out there

I think its looks good for a famales effort

Isnt that sexist?

like saying girls aren't as good as lads at moddin?

Im not being sexist, Its just what lads have said to me. "Girls cant mod cars as good as lads"

yeah, lads always say girls cant mod cars but there is proof that we can, i.e kellie's pink pug - now that is sweet!!

i like this saxo, looks a bit like dazVTR'S.
18" alloys r becomin a bit common tho!! i dont like the bonnet vents but im luvin the spoiler

i quite like this but there again alot of the saxos are lookin axactly the same these days very much like corsas, but with the work thats gone into this one it looks slightly stamped in her own way

Its a nice show car but i aint too keen on the spoiler and the general saxo ness. I love the way shes got it up to 106GTi pace with just a crap induction kit and zero back pressure exhaust LMFAO!!!! Think she should get it dyno'd to see her LOSS in BHP,and then run it at the pod to see her real 0-60 time of over 9 seconds, maybe even over 10

A lot of the tuning companies out there reckon that if you just add an induction kit and a zorst on the VTR it actually makes them as quick as the VTS because of the torque produced by the 8v. The zorst is meant to be really restrictive on the VTR. Not sure how true that is though...

Can someone answer me a question, do the 106's, Saxos' and Clio's all share the same chassis etc? They look really similar.

As Meesh said, spotting modded saxo's are like shooting fish in a barrel, they're everywhere. Every other saxo has had a body kit. I've got nothing against them, but when I saw that supercharged Saxo, that was unusual, because the majority of Saxo owners only know how to purchase a bodykit and drop it off at the body shop, that's the limit of it.

And I don't reckon that car has been touched by female hands either, apart from the obligatory aluminium gear knob swap and lexus lights and bucket seats, the bodyshop has done everything else.
