make sure u keep this a PROPER sleeper this time, no fancy alloys and chrome rollcages!

i say roof rack, wrong coloured bonnet and one wing, steelies, hidden exhaust outlet, and kick and scratch it a few times

then just live your life patrolling round supercar/evo/scooby/skyline meets making people look like total cunts by getting whupped by a fucked old van

Keep it a real sleeper by fitting a very faded black plastic bumper, with the obligatory scuff of white paint on the corner.

Mint project though, will be mental

This sounds a nice project, standard bumper and steelies with that lump in sounds wicked.
