    Looks like its had a dink & rather than spray the bonnet to match you have stuck cheap looking stickers over it!

    it's just the same thing you see every day. lexus lights, oversized wheels, stickers all over it. no doubt it's got a massive audio install that makes it vibrate and will soon have a shopping list down the doors!
    
    tacky is my honest opinion

    If youve sprayed the bonnet white.... do the rest white imo! and get some standard vtr wheels or vts wheels will look alot nicer

    that's probably why it's done. It's not shouting LOOK AT ME!!! Like most aftermarket wheels do. I went from vtr wheels to vts wheels and i prefer them to any wheels on the market bar a few.

    I did say sometimes , but obv its gotta be something you like, i just dont see why most saxo owners have some sort of VT wheels... But then again i like the euro look for saxo, nd they dont exactly match

    Just giving my opinion on the wheels but aftermarket ones like mirrorblanks says are a tad over the top... i mean there are some nice ones but :/ most seems to be chrome spinners.... no comment on them!

    just realised it's a 3 stud and i know how difficult it is to get decent 3 stud alloys. Think i'd go with a 4 stud conversion to widen the choice available to you. It's not too difficult.

    Modding a 1.1 isn't the problem here, modding a 1.1 with no set scheme and with colours that just don't suit the car is the problem... lots of people just don't have a clue.
    
    White bonnet on a green and black car? With chrome rear lights? Why? What goes through your heads, it might look good to you and other McDonalds lexus light boppers but to everyone else it's clearly not right.

    right... im changing it you obviously havent read it properly... im getting the black bits done white and the black bumpers done to match the green... got silver alloys to match the silver on the stickers and i am changing the lexus lights to smoked jewels... the rear badges, callipers, drums, interior bit such as centre console and wing mirrors are going white soon just need to wait for pay day... only 5 days away so will be done then.
