full kit(not sure if just to go with a subtle or out of control kit still deciding)
lowered 35-40mm
16s or 17s
tints all round
old boss putting in opening side windows
rear seats
sports seats
elec window kit
full closure alarm
little lip spoiler on top of rear dorrs(but cut in middle so doors will open properly)
boxed off full sound system
2 or 3 monitors in the back with ps2 or something for rear seats

Some idea's for you to think abaout....

Smooth the side panels out and the rear windows like my van. Do a Tigra front end conversion, buy some wide Euro style wheels, 8x15's or so (mine are for sale

) Paint it Beige with a velvet red roof
