Ive been constantly changing my mind recently, ive got about 700 quid coming my way come august 12th. I could either, get GSI kit this week and get it sprayed burgundy to match my car? I have never seen a GSI in burgundy and any pics would help please. I could get the kit and pay to have the whole car sprayed? Or carry on saving and buy something better? Any opinions much appreciated.

If I decide to buy the kit, wheels will come first, should have said that sorry.

Bit of a gamble that.
I've always thought Satin Red would look good on something more subtle, leave the standard 93 black bumpers on, debadge, destripe, delock, dark headlights, mega low and either small and dished rims or some nice 16s fairly spokey, with this lip spoiler:

That sounds like a nice idea, anyone else ever done this? Here was my initial idea with the gsi kit...

My only worry is, im spending so much on a car that for the same amount I could have a much newer car.

Yeah thats a blank canvas for something euro and special. Get to Vauxhall for the lower lip for the front of the bumper, germanplates.com for reg, dark headlights, lower it, destripe, already has clear repeaters, good choice, ideally paint mirrors or replace with Mattig DTM or something, Vectra handles, you got any wheels in mind?

I like the idea, only im not too keen on small wheels, i can buy a gsi kit this week if I want. I think a gsi kit lowered to fook on 16s would look good. Will destripe, colour code mirrors, get euro black headlights, and would be interested to find out how much green tints cost. Veccy handles and black interior parts somewhere down the line. Whats your thoughts on my shop of voytos car? I guess your advice would be to do my car up rather than sell it for something better then?
