Fair enough.
Personally unless your ggoing offroading then just two spots on an a bar. No need for masses of lights that you won't use.

Grey would look cool. And black modular wheels. Not sure if I've mentioned them before

If it was mine I'd be getting a proper respray in a nice metallic grey with roof and wheels in gloss black.

Would look very nice, but id end up just spending my time washing and polishing it and worrying about getting it dirty, also means il be able to just go over any scratches i may cause

Use a small roller and flat it smooth as Jim said. Did that on some KA bumpers, they came out 99%, better than the paintwork on the car as it was!

Well I couldn't resist this that just went on Ebay for 25 quid
But fitting it prematurely may make people go mental so will hold off until the car looks more right, besides I will need to sort some wiring
