Hi everybody this is my 1st car, bought it back in august for £800 with 76000 miles on the clock. It's in great condition and drives smooth. Anyway im a student so money is limited but im planning some nice stuff for it. Ive already bought a peco twin pipe backbox, a kenwood sound system and new sony headunit, slatted grill, ABM angel eyes and some blue Led's for all the dash and got some primer spray and laquer for spraying the centre console silver. My future plans are to lower it 40/60 mm, new alloys cesaro/speedlines/tigra/, maybe fully color code, tint back 3 windows, tint original lights. I would also like a black bad boy bonnet but i don't know about that. Anybody got any suggestions as to what would look good on it ? feel free to say what you want. Thanks for looking

When i bought it in August:

New blue led's

Back to blacked arches

before:

After:

New exhaust:

New Grill:

Angel eyes and side repeaters going on tomorrow so will take some pics

Alloys look great mate! To finish the look I would remove the door strips and badges, de wiper it and colour code the rest then slam it, Job done! Keep it up bud

yeah mate very happy with them

worried about removing bump strips cos what the paints like under them. thinking more of a gloss black finish to arches/bumper tops rather than color code aswell i think, unsure yet though
