Default How should I style my XR2?

Right, whilst my MK2 XR2 is currently in pieces (and whilst I try to figure out how the f*ck to put it back together ) i've been having a think about how I should style it.

The idea is to build a 2.0 Zetec turbo for it and fit it in for use on track, with a bit of hard road use as well.

Currently toying with spraying it black and going for the euro look, although the otherside of my says keep it red and as standard as possible. The wacky side says spray it yellow or lime green and be done with it

Think I am more swaying towards the euro look, but what do you guys think?

Euro look is all about the style (imho) no good for a track car, if your goin proper euro it needs to be slammed with 8x13 deep dish wheels and 175 tyres, shaved doors, pastel or deep metalic colour, no bodykit etc...

For the track you wanna be thinkin 15's or even 16's, trick suspension and then just do what the fuk ya like with the bodywork, as long as it's light.

Hmmm pretty even at the moment doesn't help

Have started getting the welding done and building the body back up so its going to be a while before I get it ready for spraying etc so no rush, however I just like to get everything decided well in advance
