Hmm, I know you've bought these parts and its going to look good.
BUT
If this was my car these would be my plans;

Respray, refurb wheels in silver/anthracite, keep bumpers black, no spoiler, no skirts.

All done sit back, admire, smile.. stop smiling when jaw aches then do an engine conversion. IMO.

Gsi skirts are free so may as well fit them, think im going to keep the arches ect black and then if i dont like i can always colour code.

As for wheels ive got an idea what i want but abit of arch work will be needed to run them, et28 15inch 7j

Well i may as well share my know how where i can lol.

I will say if you do give it a go try get hold of the biggest flat bed sander you can and dont weld the boot all in one go as the metal on these is quite thing so does warm up quick and has a tendency to warp.
