As above.

Got a Vegas that i'm giving to the Mrs soon..

I just wanna make it look a little more... Smart / Clean..

There's very little budget, and i'm starting with removing Badges and Side Strips (Leaving the Vegas badges as she likes them LOL)..

Its got Smoked repeaters, and is currently flame Pink, so does need a good wash and wax at some point.

Really not sure where to go with it, I've steered her away from Lexus lights and stuff, its a Pre 97 Model..

Any suggestions, even ideas to make it look a little different?

Cheers

Was thinking Post Bumpers...

Got a GSi Kit for mine minus rear Bumper...

Would spray my bumpers red and fit those...

Are 5 Door rear Bumpers the same as 3?

I've thought about all of the above, Gradually perhaps...

Spoilers? - They do them?

Just clean it up and give it to her as it is, shes probably not arsed that its lowered, my bird hated my standard Vectra SRi because it was too harsh over bumps, never mind a lowered car. The only thing I would do is a set of vaux alloys on it, which is what my bird wants me to get on her C as its on trims at the mo.
