With payday looming, im getting an itch to buy shiny bits.

If this were your car, what would you do with the looks?





Plans so far are very subtle. -

Tint rear lamps to 'de-tango' them (Turbo lookalikes)
Install sidelamps into indicator lenses so they light up with the sidelights
Also whilst in there i'l remove the orange bulbs for the indicators and swap with silvers.

Any other ideas?

Ive G3'd it but its needing done again.

Ive got loads of cleaning stuff coming when the posty finally gets his finger out.

I'l G3 then wax it a few times.

I quite like the wheels in white (although theyre a cunt to keep clean!!)

I have clear side reps ordered too.

And i have 60mm fronts and corsa rears to go on too.

Just MOT'd it so i can get on with it now.

Are the wheels a no-no in alot of your opinions?

it wasnt a dig I promise, just lending my opinion.

If I was stuck with the car I'd do the same as you, sort out the orangeness with the lights and then possibly look into some comforts for the inside and not bother with the outside. Polishing a turd and all that.
