I think that's a pretty looking cab to be honest !! Lovely colour and the wheels ain't that bad ! Maybe get a lowering kit but don't go any more than a 25mm drop or you'll ruin the ride and handling but if you don't fancy that - I'd put the grand towards something else !!!

depends what you want from the car? looks/ style or performance?
judging by the fact its a cabro i would say looks/style after all it is a posers car lol
so lower it and find yourself some gti skirts, that should be a good start.

Please make side repeaters your first purchase. After that I'd get a set of coilovers and slam it with a nice set of rs2000 skirts. Do mk5 rs2000 skirts fit onto this shape?
