Went and viewed this and it is immaculate and actually looks really nice in the flesh, colour coding on it is perfect and the bodywork and engine are immaculate
Paid 2.6k, W REG, 53000 miles, fsh, all electrics etc...
Also is really nice to drive
Will be lowered straight away and the wheels are going gloss black
Then after christmas it will get a ecosse induction and a de-cat and that will be about it
And before anyone mentions the exhaust, it has been moved back so its flush with the bumper
Cant wait to go on some trackdays with it
Rob.

I love saxo's, mine was a top car for me. They do look ace on their ass, but personally I wouldn't want to ruin the comfort of the drive and as soon as it's stiffer things always end up going rattley.

16v badge will go, black Dimma fuel cap to replace the silver one, smoked fogs and headlights also.
Jambo, turbo seals have gone on the Punto, spent about 700 quid in a month fixing it simply cant afford it.

Its not, recon turbo is about 300, then there is the labour for fitting it etc, then something else would probably go wrong with so i really cant be arsed, plus it handles like a barge.

Fit it yourself! You can get recconed kkk16's for under £200 now, i cant see the punto being more expensive.
Understand the rest tho, if you wanna change thats cool, just hate to see that car dissapear as it looks mean as
Rob fave colour is that frost blue kinda affair? Bit silvery?

Its going to someone in scotland, he all ready has 2 GT's so think it will be looked after, i do really like it, but i simply cant keep spending on it which is what ive had too do ever since i bought...
I know vts/106gti's people say there unreliable but the engines are mega strong, i have two mates both 110K plus and still going strong just from having regular services, they rag them everywhere too.

its not the engines, its the shafts, bushes and gearboxes that fook easily.
I like VTS' tho they're underestimated and arte actually pretty fast cars.
