i would personly, XR3i alway's looked to me like they were missing some thing!

the car does look good with the dark rims but the kit would finnish it off in a
subtle way, but that is just my opinion and it is your car! hope this help's.

Fit the kit mate. It's fairly subtle and won't look out of place Especially if you've got the bonnet

Would go with the S1 as it hasn't been done to death and does look good, it also mean the car is individual and not an RS lookalike as it is not a standard item for that car.

Smooth out rub strips in the bumper and some small wing mirrors for a more smoothed out look.

Those alloys look

Fair point, was a good buy at 300 notes.

Looks really clean, think I have seen it about, ever drive around Radford, seen one floating about occassionally and always thought how clean it was.
