Here it is as it stands, with my diy colour coding with spray cans 

Here it is with smoked headlights and debadged grill

just wondering what you guys think, and if anyone feels if they could do a better photoshop job please do.

Keep the smoked lights, cancel the colour coding, it looks a bit tacky IMO

buy a new lower grille red one looks gay! also should've painted the tops of the bumpers and arches black to contrast with the red.

He meant dont do the colour coding, i say do it if its to your liking. I personally like the black parts. Get a black lower grill aswell.

What do you mean by that ? 
How much would it cost to lower it including fitting do you think ? 40mm

Was thinking about leaving the top of the bumpers but in the end i decided not to.
I still have to fit the front arches and the black ones are still black atm
