   get a shot up with the alloys and some tire shine
   
   but for me its the alloys a slightly lowered especially if you want decent handling

   you need to diside what you want the hole finish product to look like. it might look shit lowered at first but then u put and decent set of wheels on and it look the nuts. And i think get the externals done first, thats whats going to make people heads turn. Also looking at the pic i think you should invest in a decent front bumper.

    your right i do need a new bumper i want to wide mouth the old one to see what it looks like lol .. as for the wheels ... it is so hard to find nice alloys that are 3 stud i thats why i painted the steel wheels to see what they would look like ... :/

    steels can look mint mate. Just spray the steelys gun metal grey or somthing and put some low profiles on them.
