Thanks for all this imput guys n girls!

It's a tough one this. All the comments made are very true. So what i'm thinking is a cross between a ratter and a non ratter

Basically the paint isn't actually that bad after looking at it properly! So i was thinking:- slam it on coilovers, slap some small bumpers on it, smoked cross hair crystal headlamps, not sure on 4 headlamp on 2, debadged (which i've now done), some gti steelies but leave the paint as it is. Decissions decissions...
