GSI's look cool.
Only thing i dont like personally are those Lexus Lights... what about color coded ones? or even the originals.

engine could do with a damn good clean - personally Id say get it booked in at a valeters for a proper under bonnet cleaning session - then get a plug cover/rocker cover whatever it is thats missing
