2nd that.
the grille badly lets it down.
i'd also personally smooth or remove the vents and change the rear lights, but it's pretty cool all in.

not too shabby. I'd get shot of the v grille aswell and go for smoked light all round because i think the angel eyes look too 'busy' on the front and i'm not a fan of lexus lights, but apart from that, its pretty damn good...

to me it all looks wrong, and filling the boot with ice seems to go against putting a let in.
Lots of potential just the styling needs some thought, and you need to decide what direction the car is going, speed/track or show

powerful engine doesnt always mean track car tho - look at some other member's cars: beardys 3.0 V6 aint a track car AFAIK

IMO beardys car is based on styling and performence - one the styling side it has the wide arch kit (BAT IIRC), plus a lush interior, then the 3.0 V6 on the performence side of things
IMO a true track car would be something likes brosters, with highly tuned engine, no interior and almost standard bodywork

beardys just has leather seats, it doesnt have a boot full of ice, it has a cage etc etc so is more focused
cars become lost when they try to do more than one thing, for instance
AK's 2.1 corsa (when it works) is an excellent track car
Boyracers (in some peoples eyes) is an excellent showcar
This one is an okish show car, and an ok performance car.
Now had it been stripped out with minimal kit, caged etc then it would have been an excellent performance car.
On the other hand had it simply been left with say a 2.0 XE and had the bodykit and ICE like it has it wouldve been a good show car

but surely a XE corsa is just as much a performence car as a LET corsa?

i dont see anything wront with a LET and loads of ICE tbh because a LET is gonna move a car around alot faster than a XE would so its still quicker

Realy dont like it at all.... you might as well get a normal XE with all that weight you've added with the very amature looking install you've made.
PS... only bit i like is the engine and nitrous
