Looks nice mate, reminds me of my mates car when we first did the exact same thing to it!

Just a peice of advice though, don't blow a wedge on your first car, it's not worth it and you'll never get anything like the money you could spend on it back!

Good effort, looks great!

could do worse as your first car, but as said, would look better with some standard rear lights and a small spoiler.
