The painting looks ok mate ... exept the gear lever and handbrake surround looks mega gsah ... bin it for a new 1 ...aslo ..if your going rally dont you rele wanna loose al lyour interior in favour of a cage and seats
???????? i know its not cheap lol .... !!!!! and its fair play if ya want stickers (not my personal taste) ..but save up and get vauxhalll 1's large ones to do your rear quaters and windows !!!!1

Its your first car so.. you think atm you have it all clear what you want and you go and throw money at it for things that aren't worth it ....trust me i did it !!! but listen to people when they say you can do all this for cheap ...cz you can ......dw bout your bumpers ..keep em black and get em mega shiny .....i know you want 2 get wheels and lower it ..but dont go spend money on wheels that later you regret..jst coz you were desperate..trust get some astra sport wheels they're mega rally ...and get em done white.......or cav wheels ....then sort yourself out with some coilovers (ok they're not cheap but IMO if you dropped it on its arse it would look the muts nuts) this is all it takes and your well on ya way to creating a rele good motor

finally some sensible advice instead of critisism lol...
yeh im just gonna put back to blak on bumpers and arches for now,just so it looks good,but i might get a second hand front bumper the same as the one thats on there,and de-grill it...dont wanna go ahead with the one thats on there incase it goes wrong.i might do this with the arches and rear bumper as well...so i can take my time on them with ,as there will be no rush coz i will still have bumpers on the car.because i do eventually wanna go white with the bumpers arches and mirrors as personally i think it looks twice as nice.
yeh i am in no rush with the wheels as i am still saving..and i will look around for a while once i have the money before i actually buy any.could u possibly get a pic of the astra sport alloys ur on about?
i did want white wheels,but its so muddy round here they just wouldnt last,so im probz gonna go for black even if it does compromise the looks.
i would love these wheels:
i actually really like the whole car..and eventually might go that way with mine

Just looked at the picture of your lights, have you just used Xenon upgrade h4 bulbs or have you got a HID Xenon conversion kit? Cheers
