Good price but you'll increase it's value by taking the boy racer tat off it and that boot install is a fire hazard.

Good buy, some subtle changes will improve it 1 million percent.

Agreed.
Take the halfrauds mod squad accesories off/out and make it simple, less is more sometimes. Looks like a tidy base car to start with.
Heres what i think
1: rotate pictures
2: replace rear lights with standard ones
3: rewire the sound system
4: trim the screws on the 6x9's
5: use sunflower oil on the arches (bit at a time) to get them black.
6: seat covers need to go.
7: good old clean
Will look good

Gear knob is bling lol. Look down your local scrappy for little bits cheap. Try looking through the gallery on here for ideas.
To make your arches black use sunflower oil in thin coats, dont get it on your paint work as its a bugger to get off and after two coats will look good!
I do it as its as affective as bumper care stuff but costs near to nothing

Could get it looking pretty nice!
What i would do is:-
Remove pedals/gearknob/seat covers
Back to black the bumpers
Plain licence plate
Punto wiper
Sort out sound system
And youre good to go
Oh and get rid of lexus lights for standard ones

Mate rotate the pics next time  Makes it a hundred times easier to look at and people won't strain their necks.
Munkeyracer's to-do list is exactly what I'd do though. Plus I doubt it'd cost more than £50 to do all that.
