Had a go at blacking my lights and de-tangod them.
I think they transform the looks of the front end.
Thats spurred me onto keeping the car now so need to get a few other things done now
Anyways comments welcome.
This is what they looked like before
And a pic of my new carbon lettering

Thanks lads, really impressed with the looks of the front now. Next up is a new splitter as that one has seen its fair share of stones lol.
Looking for a set of USDM rear smoked lights then either change the alloys or paint them.

Getting smoked rears for one of these is a bit of a nightmare and if i'm spending £300 on a set of rear lights then its gonna be the USDM ones.
I'm not to sure whether to paint the original alloys or get a new set.
Connolly - Get a pic up of it. Ideally i'm after a Do-Luck style one like the one I have on it just now.

I was dreading opening this thread thinking it would be some nasty bodge, but that looks ace!
I'd suggest a carbon front badge, some funky aero-type mirrors and a nice set of six spokes (TE-37's)

Could get busy with a stanley knife and some carbon sheet, can't be too difficult cutting out three rhombuses/rhombi

Daz - theres 2 do-luck splitters goin for sale on the MLR now mate.
Gonna do the wheels a gunmetal colour I think.
The front badge can be done but like said you need to take it off then cut round it. Will do it tho to match the rear.
