not my cup of tea at the moment mate, but I'l be watching anyway  :wink:

don't yellow tint the lights it wont suit the colour of the car, just joey mod them  :cool:

bonnet bra is a personal taste...how about removing the red pin strip from the bumper?

Black the wheels maybe?

The wheels aren't the nicest but they look alright considering. Car looks in good nick and in a decent colour too.   :wink:

This all the way... 

Those wheels are too bling, if they were cheap then you shouldn't mind changing their colour too much.

Always Noooooooooooo on Bra's IMO.  :sick:

Car looks pretty tidy for the money.

thanks for the feedback lads, just passed her mot after me working on it until midnight to replace a knackered inner cv boot and to sort a rear brake issue, keeping it until oct then upgrading to a bora 2.0 or a mk4 gti ;)
