Looks clean.
Remove the badges and rub strips, lower it, and colour code the bumper bits, wing mirrors and scuttle and it'll look nice as.
Oh and de-wiper it as well!

looks clean ride, if you are wanting lower it you wud have to get a smaller exhaust as mine 60 and with that exhaust you would hit it all time

if i wer you i would get sum upgraded shocks aswell, cuz if you keep standard they will O_o up ride completly as ther not designed for use with lowered springs . ride will be better for a month or 2 then worse than standard shocks after .
