i would just tidy up the car rather than reshell it, your ideas sound good, not a fan of the wheels but looks good for 100 quid

Can't really complain for £100 tbh. Keep the SRi and mod that, there aren't enough SRi's imo, especially modded ones. If you're getting it sprayed I would personally go black as the red bump strips look amazing on black

yeah black is a nice colour shame though about bodywork been hamered. what a might do is replace the dented panels then get a quote for a body repair shop to repair the rear quarters as i can do the rest.
