The day I picked it up:

Straight into modding it, I hated the lexus lights so changed them:

Tinted side repeaters:

Thought the back looked bare without a spoiler, so I picked one up from a lad off here (GENZ.) for a good price, fitted the Jamex -60mm lowering springs and shockers and gave it a good clean and it's now looking like this:

Only had the car a few weeks and want to do so much more. I have fitted a new headunit but no pictures yet, will get some soon.

I am wanting to change the wheels, but they are brand new and want to get some wear out of the tyres so I will change them at a later date.

Any suggestions on what to do next?

Good/bad feedback wanted.

debadged grills really change the look of the car, have a look at mine.

spoiler and colour coded bumpers too i think, but its a good start.

I am lowered 60mm mate.

I have been quoted £25 for my mirrors to be colour coded, and I might purchase a debaged grill off ebay for £15.

Went and got myself some SRi interior today.

Was £50 and I got all door cards front and rear seats.

Front drivers seat has two little rips in it on the right hand side and it needs a clean but at £50 I think I got my self a good deal.

Pictures will be up soon.

Finished fitting all of the interior today and got some pictures:

(Ignore the gear knob, I am changing it just haven't got round to getting one)

Now just waiting for my Badge-less grill to come and I will fit it.
