looks awryt, not too keen on the black expansion tank and your sun strip should of been black mate, looks good and you should of just changed the clocks instead of gettin aftermarket rev counter, no point in them unless you have a big engine tbh, what further plans you got for it? facelift bumpers would be better, does your engine start work howd you do it? get gsi spoiler, and smooth the boot if you can, should put the vaux badge back on the back and take the other badge off as it just makes it look weird mate, colour code the mirrors and door handles, tint windows, and debadge the whole car mate, should look alot better with them oh and also get a darker interior any dark interior is better tbh, i had the grey one and lookd poo so got a darker one from a corsa breeze and made the car look alot better :)

spray the whole boot lock the same colour mate, and debadge the whole car as its making it look weird wi the badge on back, trust me it looks alot better without it, and facelift bumpers would of looked alot better on your car mate, get some smoked side indicator lenses for it aswell as the standard orange ones are horrible lol,
