Had the pleasure of shooting this tidy little Saxo last year for Performance French Cars Magazine last year. I'd say this is definitely decently modified. If crying out to be properly ragged around track.







Got a nicely tuned 1.6 8v on ITBs in, smoothed bay to clean things up a little, half cage, buckets, stripped, poly windows, turinis, wilwoods up front, can't remember suspension mods but assuming coilovers on the front at least.

The wheels are lovely in isolation but the ride height and tyre profile are gopping.

They'd look absolutely fantastic in about 19" on something like a Golf R, E60 M5 or original CLS55 AMG. One of the more modern cars that suits dished monoblocks.
