dont bother with visual mods to start with
if you just got the car 1st thing i would do is service it even if it has just been done then look at mechanics of the car ie handling ect..
then finish with visual mods

well thats what im gonna do anyways

im sure other people will have other comments

Are your wing mirrors mystic blue? :huh:

Anyway, I would go with smoked side repeaters/indicators/fog lights, joey modded and tint film to the headlights, black grill slats, black badges, dewipered rear, pressed metal number plates, wolfsburg surrounds, VR6 front splitter, lower bumper vents and lower it.......oh wait.....I did do that! :grin:

As Wherry said, do something a little different otherwise it will end up looking identical to mine :grin:

Get anything that NEEDS sorting done before you start doing things you WANT.

Servicing, any worn parts, any fluid renewal, etc.

Then get on to cosmetics. A good clean will always be a good starting point, that way you'll know what you're dealing with  :smiley:
