Ive just brought a saxo VTS! lol.....
PREPARES FOR PETROL BOMBS THRU WINDOW!
no but think its alright like... picked it up for
£1800 exactly what everyone that replied to my thread said it was worth...up at £2100/2200 depending on whether u looked at it on pistonheads or autotrader...knocked him down to £1800 as its an W ref and that...just the one picture as ive been too busy working and drive it round to test it out abit lol
that isnt me in the pis some random guy that decided to lend me some petrol
car's great...cant believe it pulls as it does...can see it becoming abit of a project car though...trying to get as much power as i can out of it
£1800 wont buy much more of a fun car imo

Yer nice little jump preformance wise then 
Best colour that imo. My mate had one that colour on the standard vts wheels powder coated in an anthracite colour. Looked spot on, will see if I can dig out any pics

If you don't want it to handle as well then lower it 60mm. 40mm is probably the best height to stiffen it up but keep the handling! 50mm is a nice compromise

cheers for all the comments guys...dont think it needs stiffening up as the ride is alreasy very stiff as it is (in a good way) maybe bilstein n eibach think that takes it to 35/40mm just for looks and to have better kit on there...
took it out last night on my private road...and its mint pulls just like a 206 1.6 GTi imo...just needs a few subtle things...and believe nearside track rod end needs replacing...small knock on cornering...still learning what these car do tbh but checked underneath it and its clean as a whistle
Thanks for the pics if anyones got any more please post...having trouble navigating through other sites lol.
checking out kamracing's stuff its pretty cheap stuff aswell like! just got aload of bills coming in at the minute so will have to wait a while before i start...infact aint even got a bucket and sponge at my new place to wash it

looks nice mate, a couple of sutble mods and itll look perfect! always like saxos for the reason being that there quite easy to mod, once you do the proper touches to it they look the nuts! my brother had a saxo vts, got it supercharged, think he was in the top 10 for the fastest quarter miles at crail one year! some one posted a timetable up a while back, he was number 6 i think!

Nice car, I went to look at a few of these but couldn't get a clean one for my budget.
Lot of potential if you do it right

what was your budget laura?

i just missed the high tax with it being a W reg...gotta say i still love corsa's but these are a far better car...standard to standard...but very different..a nice sport would still put a smile on my face, this one is just faster at doing it

At the time I only had 2000. It was before I decided to use it as a deposit for finance on my pug. Biggest mistake I ever made.
