Default How would you go with this Erst, ambers etc or clears

This is the erst I bought recently, it needs a few of the plastics replacing, a headliner, and a tailgate, as well as a few touch ups and the front bumper repairing.
Having said that, I'm using it every day for work and it starts first time, which I think is good considering I've been setting off about 6.45 and it's been -5 degrees in the night.
I'm getting the bits painted in the next couple of weeks hopefully and the bumper done ( will still be after a tailgate tho) but I don't know wether to keep the clear indicators and repeaters, or go to ambers.
Also, the front is a bit lower than the rear, if i go ambers i would probably lift the front to match the rear, but if i go clears i might lower the back to match the front, i can't make up my mind, what you guys think?
Also don't know wether to put black stripe into bumpers

Thought so, ambers seems to be the current done thing, what do you think for the front, standard springs or lesser-lowered lowering springs? also what would this look like vs the rear?
If I'm having ambers i would put the black stripe in and keep the spots

Their is something about white turbo's & amber indicators that look I would deffo put the black inserts back on, & maybe raise the front to match the back other than that it looks spot on.

Hate to follow the crowd usually but in this case. Ambers and black stripes do it for me.
