   Hmmm liking the bonnet raisers idea! Black exterior trim painting sounds good too.Not too keen on the idea of ripping the dash out to paint it a different colour tho....

    Red Calipers look tacky IMO..
    
    i'd leave the angels as they are rather than smoking them, then the car starts to look dark..
    
    smoked jewels?
    "VT?" door badges
    wheel refurb? maybe change the colour to anthracite? with yellow rim tape

    Best way to get pics on here is to go to www.photobucket.com, join,upload your own pics from your hard drive .Then once your pics are up on there you will have to look for the " image code " which u will find in a small box next to your pic.Copy and paste that code into the reply box on here.Job done!

    Where'd you get all of this sort of stuff from, and plus does anyone know where i could get a new rocker cover, i took mine off to paint it, made a shit job of it. Put it back on n could smell oil, i tried to tighten the bolts and snapped em off.
    
    Ive looked online for rocker covers but can only get used ones and im wanting to get a new one, any ideas?
    
    Just like to add the paintwork looks mint mate, i agree with what some people have said with the dash n engine bay work. Also how does the Pipercross Ind kit work, you feel any gain? i got an K&N cone filter, but am wanting to upgrade to a BMC CDA enclosed kit for obv reasons. Oh an colour matching a trim on your alloys would give it some. I'll try get a pic of a mate of mine thats done the same mate.
