For a start, ST170 tinted headlamps, fogs and grille would sort the front end out!

well the plans are to lower it, put some 17s on it, nothing to chavish, full miltek exhaust and manifold and some sort of induction kit to start with. but the miltek is the only thing iv decided on. still dont know how low, what wheels and what kinda induction kit ha.
was hoping a few people on here could help me out, not too bothered bout styling just want it to look clean and go well

i recon im now going to head down the cleaned/euro route with this, gonna try and get to a scrap yard and get a spare front bumper to start smoothing out the rub strips and number plate recess, maybe even the fog lights but not sure yet, lower on coilies with 16" lenso bsx alloys and rear camber bolts to give a nice lil negative camber

these wheels http://www.rimstyle.com/products/det...754BLA38383640

and try and get the front end looking like this



maybe with a debaged grill
