OK, i know I will get slated and hate mail for having this car :):):) But I thought I'd show you my little'un :)
Couple of days after buying her ( I said I would NEVER modify that car too!):

My second car that I bought, and regretabbly sold (may be far slower than the VTS, but my goodness, it was a FANTASTIC car!):

But anyway, I will go and put my e-armour on now, ready for the total pasting I expect I am gonna get for having her http://www.michael-cracknell.co.uk/tomato.gifhttp://www.michael-cracknell.co.uk/nunchucks.gifhttp://www.michael-cracknell.co.uk/hide.gif

VTS's are usually mint.
Its the VTR's you always see chavved up to **** because thats the fastest car that chavs can afford the insurance on (even though they are slow).
Looks nice, very subtle compared to most saxos

its still a death trap?! :\
but for a saxo it does look nice.. :thumbs: but as i dont like them so thats hard for me to say :P
very nice
agree on the colour suits so much better than the blue's
top work

I concour! Usually the people that can get insured on VTS's are older and more mature and so modify them way better.
Very nice mate, I would love to see anthracite rims on it like Chris Trickle's
MikeCracknell
29-08-2007, 22:26
Thanks for the niceness, maybe the e-armour can be loosened a bit now :)
As for Black/Anthracite wheels on my car, absolutely no way, and that is because EVERYONE is doing that, I want to have a different car rather than following the sheep :)
Very smart mate, i like the vts, soooo much better than a vtr
MikeCracknell
29-08-2007, 22:37
Putting speed aside, the Zetec S was SOOOOO much better than the Saxo!
Very nice mate! Like said I love the colour, but would loose the sticker!

Stunning VTS Mike, I'm also a member on sax-p.
I would get rid of the 'Suki' stickers if it was me.
VTS > SRI ;D

- sticker and - exhaust and i think it's mint.
what wrong with the exhaust?
I kinda like saxo's, but only really subtle ones like yours, looks mint :thumbs:

looks **** hot there without thte silly stickers on it, gray wheels would suit better in my opinion, its a really nice saxo tho!

Looks mint mate!! I've also spammed this website with my saxo pics! lol
Loving the car mate.. Looks lush!

OMG looks who surfaced from nowhere!
got a corsa in the end mate sorry :( lol
MikeCracknell
30-08-2007, 22:13
Nothing to be sorry about lol!
I'd rather have a Zetec S in more ways than a saxo!
I like it mate, brother used to have a VTR, then a VTS with 2.0 turbo in that, and that flew like **** of a shovel.
Heres my old paxo, had it when I was still 17. I think for a 1.1 it looked pretty mint!

Excuse the lexarse lights, I later swapped them for the smoked/red lights.
It had 17" Ace wheels, colur coded VTR kit including spoiler, 4 stud conversion, wings west rear diffuser, lowered 70-80mm, custom rgm vents in front bumper, custom grill and a VTR interior.
Was really slow and the door fell off once when I opened it on my mates drive but... every girl I knew loved it was a right spunk chariot lol!

Sweet! Love the vts rims in white, just right nice and subtle. YOu not done any engine mods?
MikeCracknell
31-08-2007, 18:32
No engine mods no, not got the money anymore since getting our own place!
See you at Trax :)
VTS rims are ONE of the nicest standard rims ever! Much better then the C2 VTS rims! Saxo VTS rims look amazing when polished!
MikeCracknell
31-08-2007, 23:20
There's a lad round here who has the polished rims, they look nice, but I prefer white - totally unique :)
