Just thought I would run past a couple ideas I've got for my car with you lot to see what you all think.
First off, its a mk2 version, 3 door and red at the moment. Once I've sorted out the rust I'm planning on fitting some GSi or GTE side skirts and painting those satin black, the car will be resprayed in a lovely metalic purple... main reason being... I've already got the paint!
Will also have a white vinyl roof and I can't make my mind up on the gte wrap round spoiler or the GSi one, having spoken to "sri_boi" he thinks that the GSi spoiler would look better but I'm still kinda at 2 minds about them both and am unsure what would look best.
Front bumper wise I'm ether going to keep the standard one or go for a GSi replicar or maybe get a standard one from the scrappy and chop it, extend it down, fill over where the towing eye comes though and fit in fog lights... so does anybody have any pics of something like a gsi bumper with fogs to show me?? would really appreciate it if you do!
Then, as for wheels I'm planning on referbing hte old 14inch ronal alloys off my old mk2 astra in a shiny silver or mirror polishing them and then painting in the holes of them satin black and then lowering it between 40 and 60mm and will also tint the windows too.
What do you all think, anybody have any better ideas? I want to keep it nice and subtle, don't want to smooth the boot as its impracticle... just after a nice subtle look that may turn a few heads.
