Your bumpers and trims need to return to being black, treat them to some trim dressing, Autoglyms product is excellent, get the silver rims of your wheels polished, and if your brave and want a retro look, get the centre panel of your bonnet painted satin black, amd maybe some german style No plates

Although my small bumper is now no longer, I have to admit that I preferred the look of it to my newer one!

As Tom said, get the bumpers and trim back to black, (Kiwi instant shoe polish!) and maybe a 20mm drop.  I wish that I had got the G60 steelies onto my old one before it died, but still liked the look of the Sebrings.  If you decide to go Euro on the bonnet I have a spare Tornado Red one that you could spray up!

Just springs should be fine if its just 20mm.

also change the bototm of the grille to a red trim below, the metal piece which stretches the width of it and goes below the lights, my enw girlle had a black one ive had on there about a month, and the difference when i changed it back to white is unbelievable, looks so so so much better..

at elast by the photo form what i cna see you havent got a red strip below?
